Scroll of teleportation
Version 0.17: This article may not be up to date for the latest stable release of Crawl.
Reading the words on this scroll translocates you to a random position after a short delay. |
Reading a scroll of teleportation will cause the player to become "strangely unstable" and then teleport to a random location several turns later. The actual duration depends on several circumstances:
Circumstance | Duration |
---|---|
Normal | 3-5 turns |
Teleport control active whether it will work or not |
Adds 1-3 turns |
In the Abyss | 4/5 chance to add 5-14 turns |
Carrying the Orb | Outside the Abyss, adds 5-9 turns. |
Alternatively, you can read one while waiting for a teleport to kick in to negate that teleport and keep yourself in place.
Teleport control allows the player to pick his destination. However, he may only select a known tile: one that has been previously seen or one that has been revealed to him by a scroll of magic mapping, Ashenzari's terrain detection, or the Passive Mapping mutation.
