So my warrior is running around at level 6; it's a special feeling,
and find a room and look inside -- Eep! A jelly pit! Quick, close the
door.
But I'm too late -- an ochre jelly has lurched out into the doorway,
and a few other critters have stepped forward, freeing up a single
space inside the pit.
Ah, what are the odds? I think, and I read my teleport scroll to get
the hell out of there.
And OF COURSE it teleports me to the ONE FREE SPACE now available in
the jelly pit. I am quickly confused and frightened and messily dead.
It's almost like the game knows: when you're counting on something to
get you out of trouble, it deliberately does not work. Grrr.
