In SLASH'EM, the Black Market is a shop that covers most of its level and offers a wide variety of goods -- but charges many times the usual price for them. One-eyed Sam is the shopkeeper, and is very difficult to kill, even as shopkeepers go. He wields the deadly sword Thiefbane and is equipped with most of an ascension kit (gray dragon scale mail, a shield of reflection, speed boots and an amulet of life saving).
Sam and his pals will not permit you to enter his level with a pet. It is still possible to acquire pets in the Black Market by feeding a domestic animal or waiting for an egg to hatch, but taming monsters through magic will not work here. Once you have a pet, you can clear out the shop in the normal way, but this is a rather tedious procedure. A quicker way to rob the shop is to collect everything you want, move next to Sam and zap him with a wand of teleportation, and run for it. You can also polymorph into a Xorn or use the Passwall spell to get directly to the exit.
