This was inspired by recent frustrations in an otherwise awesome game of Nethack; namely, I had my brain eaten. Twice. So twice I remapped the dungeon from below the Castle on up to level 1, twice I re-identified my inventory and stashes, and twice I cursed every last mind flayer alive.

Note for those who don't play Nethack: each monster is represented by a coloured letter or symbol. The magenta "h" represents both gnome kings and (master) mind flayers. So, if you aren't paying attention, you can run straight into a mind flayer, thinking it is a harmless gnome. Which I did. Twice.
