Certain monsters can be bribed. Bribery comes in different forms:
- Demon princes will ask you for a bribe when they first notice you; refusing to bribe them will turn them hostile and they will not ask for a bribe again, whereas bribing them will prompt them to disappear for good. If the player is polymorphed into a demon, the demon prince will become peaceful without requiring a bribe. (minion.c#line161) If the prince is carrying the Amulet of Yendor, he will ask for more gold than the player has, thus ensuring that he won't disappear from the game with the Amulet. (minion.c#line183)
- Soldiers can be bribed by #chatting with them, but soldiers are rarely threatening once you are in melee range, so this is rarely an effective tactic. Bribed soldiers become peaceful. (dokick.c#line319)
- Angry shopkeepers will also accept bribes via the #chat command. If you can afford the asking price, the shopkeeper will become peaceful again. (dokick.c#line281, shk.c#line1299)
