A'gone, @, is a unique monster that appears in the Drow Noble quest of dNetHack and notdNetHack. She is a drow that "guards" the Drow Noble's quest artifact, the Web of the Chosen.
A'gone was the rival of the Drow Noble player character, selected by Lolth to be her Chosen priestess - she was originally sent by a rival to the character's quest leader and mother to discover the cause of sudden silence within a life-cavern colony previously used for food production. A'gone failed and was captured by the mind flayers that had taken over; her mind was subsequently destroyed, and she was imprisoned in a cell near the dwelling of the colony's elder brain.
Generation
A'gone is imprisoned within one of the cells on the edge of the Drow Noble quest's goal level, with unbreakable iron bars blocking off access.
Strategy
As the umber hulks around the level cannot dig into the cells, characters will need a force bolt spell or a wand of striking to break the iron bars of A'gone's cell; this may be best to do after disposing of the elder brain guarding the Bell of Opening. A'gone herself is not only mindless, but completely harmless as well - her sole "attack" in the code is a 0d0 grabbing attack which cannot be used, and her only defenses are her 60 MR and sleep resistance. Once the more pressing threats are dealt with, there is little else to do beyond quickly putting A'gone out of her misery and retrieving the artifact.
