    Playing a samurai. There is a throne room on DLVL 12. A gnome or

    trying to get back to it and correct the matter.

    There's a couple options. If evading the hole fails a lot, there's
    no boulders (or scrolls of earth) to fill the hole, no jumping or
    levitation item available, no wand of teleport available for self
    teleports, maybe it's an option to find a level with a vault and
    look for a niche with a level-teleport trap to (randomly unless
    having teleport control) locate you to an upper level. There's
    also a chance to wait for (preferable hostile) a digging monster.
    Sometimes there's yet undiscovered alternative paths to the stairs.

    But I'd have thought that evading the hole might have the best odds
    to get a success experience.
