There are several ways to get out of the treasure vaults.  Innate teleportation
will get you out eventually.  A scroll of teleportation is real handy.  Also,
the wand of digging will make a permanent passage.  However,
if these are unavailable I know of three ways to get out.  They all require that
you wait for the guard to come.

1) [This one doesn't work on our version of hack].  Rumor has it that if you  
  answer with the name "Croesus", you will be escorted out.

2) Drop ALL your gold and follow the guy [Goodbye AU].

3) Drop your gold, and step towards the Guard once.  The Guard now moves away
  by one step.  Step back and ge the gold, step forward and drop it.  Repeat
  ad infinitum.  Eventually you get away.  [Caveat:  this works on our version,
  it may not work on yours].

Of course, you could attack the guard.  I haven't bothered, I assume I'll get
trounced unless I'm 20th level or extremely lucky.
