 The upstair is at a random location somewhere on the level. The downstair is located at one of the six numbered spots; the others contain an [[amulet of life saving]], an [[amulet of strangulation]], two [[giant mimic]]s imitating the downstair, and a [[polymorph trap]]. The walls are diggable and teleportation is permitted, so the two enclosed spaces should not be difficult to reach if necessary. The floor is non-diggable, however.
