Escaping the dungeon
There are three ways to escape the dungeon. The easiest and most obvious is simply to climb the staircase on level 1 without the Amulet. Alternatively, you can put on a ring of levitation (or acquire the flying intrinsic) and teleport to any level from -1 to -9. Finally, you can reach the Astral Plane and sacrifice the Amulet of Yendor to the wrong god, which results in "escaping the dungeon in celestial disgrace".
In explore mode, you can offer the Amulet of Yendor to Moloch, and refuse to die to both of his attempts to kill you. If you do, you will then be ejected from the dungeon in 'a cloud of black smoke'.
