Keywords: May the force NOT be with you!


	While I was playing hack 1.0.2 in level 13 as a wizard, something
pretty strange happened to me: after explored all the rooms through the
level, I was, as usual, ready to explore the next level. I stood on the
stairs, accompanied with my two dogs, Zorin and May Day, ready to proceed.
However, the game didn't let me went down the next level! The message said:

	A mysterious force prevents you from going down!

I had an experience of 8 at that time, so I assumed that my experience was
not good enough to explore the next level. So, I thought I might go up to
kill some beasts and got some more experience before going any further, but
it didn't let me went up either!! The message was:

	A mysterious force prevents you from going up!

I was then lucky enough to kill a wraith, went up to Exp 9, eat the corpse
of the wraith and I was level 10. I tried to go down again, but no avail!
What is this "mysterious force" stuff?? Most of my Exp is genuine experience
points and not by quaffing potions of gain level. I was such a nice wizard
that I never loot a shopkeeper nor I had mess with a ghost. Am I too nice a
wizard to go down the next level? Any comment? Can anybody explain this
force?
