The banshee level is a special level at around D22-D24 (between the Water Temple and the wall of flames). The level can be immediately recognized by a message referring to sorrow and death, and a great amount of corpses located all over the dungeon floor.
Main Features[]
Lots of corpses, which might be of some interest to provide missing intrinsics.
Food items do not rot on this level, but the 'rot counter' keeps on going — thus, all the corpses/food items may decompose rapidly upon leaving the level. This can be counteracted by blessing valuable corpses (for example orb guardians) just before leaving the level. Blood-drinking artifacts behave similarly; they will not decay in power on this level, but do decay based on the number of turns spent on this level as soon as the character leaves it.
Inhabitants[]
Banshee (consult corresponding page for dealing with her) straight on the downstairs in the middle of level. Room with her should be behind hidden doors.
Quests[]
None, but character must pass this level to gain access to lower part of Caverns of Chaos.
