zOMG BEST ENTRY VAULT EVER

So, I just started up a new game, and about five seconds in, I notice that the Orb of Zot -- the magical world-changing artifact that I was going to have to fight my way through 27 floors plus sidebranches to get, the one that would force me to face incredible odds and nigh-insurmountable challenges, the one supposedly sitting in the bowels of the Realm of Zot -- is sitting practically right outside the entrance, along with three runes (gossamer, demonic, and golden, if anyone's curious). I wish I had a better way of screencapping this (PrintScreen doesn't really work on the console version), but I could at least get a textdump:

##################

#...##########...######
#...# ..}....#.........
#.<.# .0<}...#@<....... <-- that "0" right in there
#...# ..}....#.........
#...##########...######

##################

What. The. Shit.
I mean, yeah, it's inside a stone-walled chamber, so it's not like I'm going to be able to get at it without teleport control and/or a really good Lee's Rapid Deconstruction (I can't just corrupt things because this character's a Demigod), but dang, that potentially makes this the easiest run ever! It's gotta be a mimic, right? There's no way the orb would just be sitting there on D:1... --spudwalt 23:49, 3 March 2013 (CET)

Heh, yeah, I'm afraid those are all mimics. I've seen a bunch of random "rune" vaults in the middle of the early Dungeon. Tons of out-of-depth monsters locked away behind transparent walls with a random rune in the middle, but it's always fake. --MoogleDan 01:24, 4 March 2013 (CET)

Yep, they were all mimics, even the staircase. The one mimicking the Orb was a "monstrous" mimic, which I'm not sure we have in the mimic article. It was a nasty little bugger, too. Good thing I blinked out of constriction. --spudwalt 04:09, 4 March 2013 (CET)

I THOUGHT there was a fourth mimic type... If no one gets around to making one by tomorrow, I'll slap one together when I have the time. --MoogleDan 05:15, 4 March 2013 (CET)

Okay, I KNOW I've seen the monstrous mimic you're describing, but I can't seem to find any details on it anywhere. I'll keep looking... --MoogleDan 18:26, 4 March 2013 (CET)

Tastes like chicken

So, I was eating a bunch of stuff while wearing an amulet of the gourmand and randomly got this message:

This raw flesh tastes like chicken!

The Crawl devs are pretty awesome people. --spudwalt 07:10, 6 March 2013 (CET)
