- Just wondering:
-
- Recently I'd made it down to the Wizard's level, and was standing in the
- center section. Not feeling any great desire to take him on at this
- point, I zapped a wand of polymorph at him. To my surprise, it worked,
- and he turned into a frost giant. (One with the teleport intrinsic,
- apparently, but hey.) He vanished, I took out the other monsters
- posthaste, and rushed forward for my reward.
-
- To my dismay, I discovered that the Amulet of Yendor had also been
- polymorphed into...
-
- An amulet of change.
-
- Chagrined, I took off, ran into the Wizard/giant again, and slew him. At
- this point I decided I was sick of the character anyway, gave up, and
- started over with a knight who _did_ eventually win.
-
- My question is this: Has this ever happened to anyone else? And, if so,
- did the Amulet come back when the Wizard reincarnated himself, or were you
- stuck?
