Playing Crawl. Haha, I have no idea what’s going on. Servant of Xom, I was cast into the Abyss, and eventually surrounded by crazy monsters, at which point I polymorphed myself with a wand into … a tree. That of course made me immobile, and apparently also unabled to read scrolls (of teleportation). All the help I got from my god was “Xom thinks this is hilarious!”, and when I died “Xom howls with laughter!”.

I must point out that it’s great how you can play this game without reading any spoilers, unlike say Nethack or Adom.

Dungeon Crawl gives us the Abyss, which is intimately tied to translocation spells; there are translocation spells that send a target to the Abyss, and a translocation miscast can send the mage the same way. It’s a constantly shifting branch of hell, filled with demons and ruled over by Lugonu the Unformed, who grants powers of, naturally, translocation.”
