Shame on you, Rsk. You've been reading netnews long enough to know
better. X is not a random number.

The number of Hp you currently have is divided in two. You keep half,
and the other half is distributed equally among all monsters in the
room. So, if you were 76(90), you will go to 38(90). If there is only
one monster in the room, you will have just whacked it with 38 hit
points, and quite possibly killed it.

~|  hmm...

Only if there happens to be a sleeping monster just the other side of
the stairs. I have yet to run into a situation where teleport to was
useful, but it's theoretically possible.
