Certain monsters can be bribed. Bribery comes in different forms:
- Demon princes will ask you for a bribe when they first notice you; refusing to bribe them will turn them hostile and they will not ask for a bribe again unless pacified, whereas bribing them will prompt them to disappear for good.[1][2] If the player is polymorphed into a demon, the demon prince will become peaceful without requiring a bribe. [3]. If the prince is carrying the Amulet of Yendor, he will ask for more gold than the player has, thus ensuring that he won't disappear from the game with the Amulet. [4]
- Soldiers can be bribed by #chatting with them, but soldiers are rarely threatening once you are in melee range, so this is rarely an effective tactic. Bribed soldiers become peaceful. [5]
- Angry shopkeepers will also accept bribes via the #chat command. If you can afford the asking price, the shopkeeper will become peaceful again. [6]
