I have 5 more but it's not that simple. One stands inside the door and the other stands in front of the door, if I go towards the door they come down further. I need to draw the jabber out to his max range before he turns around, confuse him, then hope to get lucky that it tries to move and goes left instead of right. I already used two scrolls with no luck. 5 left, two jabbers.
Nohbdy, I probably would have had a ton more gold, but I started with a ring of maintain armor that I didn't take off until level
88 because that was the first scroll of protection I found, and I was wearing a ring of stealth full time, so I couldn't wear the ring of searching.
Edit: Shit. Went up into the maze, and for the first time ever the jabber followed me. Trapped now. 4 scrolls of confusion until I die.
Double Edit: Yes! He took two steps back into the hallway so I could pass him and now he's following! Chance I could get out of this level!
Triple Edit: Shit! Was backing the jabber out to the turn around and now I'm trapped between it and a vampire that spawned in the maze!
YES. I DID IT! ME: 1 LEVEL 182: 0!!!
Trapped between the vampire and the jabberwock. Throw food at the vampire. Vampire doesn't eat food
Use last scroll of hold monster, freezes both. Use scroll of confusion, throw food at jabber. Sleep until jabber luckily moves up into maze, slip by. Second Jabber is into the vertical hallway, but up, because it's mirroring me. It's too close to the hallway entrance to the door to get by, so I go UP the parallel hallway so he also moves all the way to the top, then run down (thank you haste!) and squeak by him ONE MOVE ahead of him blocking my path, make it through the door, stairs are in the room! Yes!
p.s. trap doors are my best friend... except for when I freaking disarm them!
p.p.s twice now I have accidentally pick up the amulet, fallen down a floor, forgotten I had the amulet, and then ASCENDED back up a floor.
