Specifically, this happened with the Quest Nemesis - The Minion of Whatsitsname. Well, it's a major demon, and my arc was #twoweaponing a +7 Grayswandir and a +6 Silver Sabre, so when I went against him in melee I slashed him once and poof, he teleported out of there, without even politely introducing himself to me or taking the Orb of Detection with him, so I promptly walked to that square and picked up the orb. Then the weird thing happened - after the usual text of "you got the quest artifact which looks shiny and powerful and you know you must protect it blah blah blah", a message appeared saying that "the body of the Minion of Whatsisname turned to dust". I put on a towel and sure enough, he ain't at the upstairs or anywhere to be found, and when I went back to the upstairs, the Bell of Opening is right there. So what happened here? Is the Quest nemesis supposed to autodie if you manage to send him packing to the stairs before he gets a chance to pick up the artifact? Or is it something specific to the Minion of Whatsitsname?
