[DCSS] In bailey, anyone know if it is possible to get the weapons to the left and right? I'm not even sure how I was able to see them.

The vault for this bailey (bailey_axe_1) has a comment:

# Starting room flavour. You cannot actually get the axes.

If you hit 'x' and hover over the wall, it will probably tell you it's transparent, and that's why you can see them.

A wand of Digging or somesuch wouldn't work?

Digging won't work, but Shatter might.

Thanks for the response. Where can I see these comments, that would be very useful.

Only the south wall is transparent (in tiles all transparent walls have that blue glass look). The walls to the left and right aren't. If you note the difference in lighting, only the south axe is lit up whereas the other two are darker as I can't currently see them. I just thought it was odd.

The comment is in the source that describes the vault: source/dat/des/portals/bailey.des

As for the nontransparent walls...well, I'm not sure how you saw those axes either!

Thanks, I found it.

Check the description of the walls - it will be "Translucent..."

Rock: You can get it with a wand of digging.

Stone: You need high-powered LRD or Shatter

Metal: Never seen a translucent metal wall, but you'd need even higher power on LRD or Shatter

But... if it says "An unnaturally hard translucent rock wall" or something similar, you're out of luck. No way to dig into it, not even with LRD or Shatter.

Knowing the devteam and the above comments, my money's on unnaturally hard.

If you have a lot of Teleportation scrolls, you can just hope. Just make sure if you do to stop once you only have 1 left -- it would suck to land inside and then realize you can't get out.

I've actually had this before and gotten across the water by going into bat form. The other side was covered in teleport traps so I didn't need to do anything special to get out.

There's a flag in some vaults that forbids random teleport in (and another one which forbids all teleport in, iirc). Usually used to prevent the possibility of idiotic deaths, but it means if they don't want you to get in there, you won't.
