New page

Hi, this is my first post, I happened to be playing unNethack before going to sleep on December 1st.

Somehow I managed to stumble into a magic portal from level 2 to a level filled with gems and small rooms numbered 1 to 24.
Only the first room was unlocked and the other doors couldn't be opened with a key, Also, kicking and using force bolt didn't help.
I dont know the teleport spell yet, but I'm betting it wouldn't work on this level.

It wasn't until I tried to look it up on your wiki that I realised the level was called Advent Callendar

Cute :-)

The level itself contains 24 small rooms, each protected by [[undiggable]], [[unphaseable]] walls and an initially locked artifact door, which is indestructible and cannot be bypassed or unlocked by normal means.  Unlike the artifact doors in Slash'em and dnethack, no corresponding artifact key is generated, so the doors cannot be opened until they unlock.  Engravings on the ground outside each door number them from 1 to 24.  Additionally, pieces of colored [[glass]] are scattered around the level for atmosphere, and there are several [[tree]]s.

 Each door unlocks if the level is visited on the corresponding day of the month.  Most of the doors contain a minor treat, such as a piece of food; however, the twenty-fourth door contains a "Christmas present", which is typically a more desirable item -- in some cases a magic tool.
