A mysterious force momentarily surrounds you...

The much-maligned mysterious force is a random level teleportation effect that occurs one quarter of the time[1] when trying to climb stairs in Gehennom with the Amulet of Yendor. Lawful characters are dumped up to three levels below their current location; for neutral players it is up to two and for chaotic it is up to one. (This includes occasionally being teleported around the level, a kind of "zero level drop".)

A mysterious force is also cited as the reason that one cannot teleport on a no-teleport level, or descend the staircase on the quest home level without first getting permission from your quest leader [2].
