A sniper's worst nightmare (and a question) (lemmy.world)

My sniper was dominating level 23 with a tomahawk +8 and a speed-enhanced bow. Facing off three or four death eyes and scorpios (playing with swarm intelligence on), suddenly the tomahawk went spiraling down into the abyss! I think the sniper had lost line of sight to her target, and the tomahawk bounced off a wall and down it went. I thought the run was lost!

Fortunately, the tomahawk was somewhere in level 24! After sacrificing a few seeds to the gods of the forest in thanks, she went on to close Yog-Dzewa's eye forever.

Now my question: is it always the case that items that fall into the abyss will be found in the level below?

Yes, I sometimes drop items I want to sell in the next shop deliberately down a chasm. If you push enemies down a chasm (e.g. wand if blast) then you kill them as well and their dropped items can be found on the next level as well. There may be sone limitations I never experienced. However, if you kill an enemy by pushing it down a chasm you receive less XP.

With enemies you also have to be careful with the potions they drop. They shatter on a floor below. Especially funny at every level before a boss because everything lands by the stairs. I once entered into a whirlwind of ice, poison gas and paralytic gas.

Oh, that's a good idea! I used to just leave a pile of items somewhere on the level and then I have to return for them. Dropping them down a chasm is much more convenient.

It is definitely more convenient. You can't throw potions obviously. And I wouldn't risk throwing scrolls because they can get burned by accident. Just toss down unneeded armor and weapons, or even food, thrown weapons, or wands.
