The two fixed "rooms" shown above are embedded in a Gnomish Mines-style cavern, which may additionally feature a network of maze-like passages. The up and down stairs are located close together at the bottom center of the map, while the magic portal to the branch proper is placed in the marked location at the top center of the map.

Fourteen acid blobs are generated on level creation - random monster generation is biased toward chaotic monsters. There are twelve each of the following traps laid around the level: anti-magic fields, magic traps, teleportation traps, and level teleporters. Fourteen random items are also scattered around the level; both these items and the traps may be generated embedded in the walls of the level.
