Ishtar's actually a real goddess, by the way. She's a figure in Sumerian mythology known for trying to seduce Gilgamesh, making her one of the oldest known mythological figures in history.

I can't stress this enough. Nethack's unofficial motto is "The devs thought of everything." The amount of obscure mechanics is just :psyduck:. Crawl is the complete opposite - if a mechanic doesn't create meaningful choices or isn't self-explanatory, it's usually scrapped.

But until then, :munch:

Edit: (Not saying what the spoiler is, but pointing one out, so tagging just in case). I'm surprised the options menu has such a big spoiler in it. It both says what it does AND has a shortcut for performing the action.

Are you talking about Elbereth? That's obscure enough I doubt s/he'd pick up on that just from the menu.

Are you going to go back up a level and try the other staircase? You only lose if you exit the dungeon entirely, you can go back up safely.
