Ascension

Ascension is the act of delivering the Amulet of Yendor to your god and winning the game. Ascending is difficult.

The end of game message given upon ascension is:

You offer the Amulet of Yendor to [your god]...
An invisible choir sings, and you are bathed in radiance...
The voice of Thoth booms out: "Congratulations, mortal!"
"In return to thy service, I grant thee the gift of Immortality!"
You ascend to the status of Demigod[dess]...
