I was the person who was describing the situation involving
"dropping".  Sorry for any confusion.  I thought people
understood the tactic.

"Dropping" refers to going down stairs as soon as you see
them on any level (a good idea to do from level 17 onward).
I used this tactic in my win.

"Dropping the amulet" is what the griffin did when I killed
it.  The griffin was carrying the amulet as treasure.  Thus,
when I killed it, I found the treasure.  I never dropped the
amulet (this would be a very silly thing to do).
