Moloch's Sanctum

This level is located on the bottom level (between the 20th and 24th level) of Gehennom (and therefore between DL 45 and DL 53). It can only be reached by performing the invocation ritual on the Vibrating Square.

Moloch's Sanctum is ineligible to leave bones files. The entire level is no-teleport and blocked to magic mapping.

The high priest attending the temple of Moloch has, in addition to his usual priestly accoutrements, the Amulet of Yendor. The courtyard surrounding his temple contains nine priests of Moloch, a horned devil, a barbed devil, an erinys, a marilith, and a nalfeshnee; in addition to the standard undead in the marked graveyard, the level also contains two random L and three random V. The temple is surrounded by fire traps, and a secret door is placed randomly on one wall; there are also two more fire traps, a spiked pit, a magic trap, an anti-magic trap, and a sleeping gas trap randomly elsewhere on the level. Four pieces of armour, two tools, a gem, four potions and five scrolls are randomly located about the level, as well as the usual chests in the graveyard. All walls are undiggable; also, the dividing line between the two halves of the level cannot be phased through by polyself into a xorn or earth elemental.
