Add a new subrule to rule 2.6 “Dungeon”, “Retreating”:
As a daily action, an @ whose Dungeon Level is at least 2 may Retreat. This causes their Dungeon Level to reduce by 1 if their Dungeon Level is less than that of the Amulet of Yendor, or increase by 1 if their Dungeon Level is the same as or greater than that of the Amulet of Yendor.
You have to Find the Stairs to go in the direction you “want” to go in, plotwise. It would add interesting tactics, though, as well as speeding up the game, if you could go in the “other” direction more or less for free; for instance, being currently on dungeon level 2, I can’t now move back to dungeon level 1 via any game mechanic other than grabbing the Amulet or waiting for it to turn up. The action’s disallowed on dlvl 1 because we already have a rule about Escaping.
due to retreating downwards being exploitable.
How is retreating downwards exploitable? You can only go down if the amulet is above you, so what purpose could it possibly serve?
