...so there I was on level 8 with all the good powers bestowed on me by
having eaten a floating eye, a leprechaun, and a killer bee.  Having
thoroughly raided whatchamacallit's shop, I possessed many good things
including a ring of conflict, a wand of digging, etc.  Eventually, I killed
off all the monsters on the level, even a cockatrice.  But no way could I
leave the level, even by digging holes in the floor.  At every hole and
staircase, a "mysterious force" kept me from descending or ascending.

Does anyone know how to overcome the force?  I was not able to correlate it
with anything that I was carrying.
