Hmm, he only takes living sacrifices? Any god out there take sacrifices of
animated weapons? I recall Vehumet wasn't too picky, but even he would refuse
to take a few things.

I suppose you could call the special-walled treasure-closets unusual features
as well. They, however, are not called "green crystal" by the game.

On it (but with "it" being the level, not the wall).

I think it's mentioned in the 'x'-description for the wall tiles. If I made a
backup during the games where I encountered the thing that I'm warning you
about, I can check.
I should note, though, that random factors (being randomly teleported into
the thick of a problem that would not have been as big without the
teleportation) made my experience with the level with this feature worse than
it would have been otherwise.
Hmm... other D:foo special level features:
Kobold rooms
Orc rooms
Bee rooms
Treasure closets
City levels (normal and octagonal)
Guardian Naga treasure rooms
Mini-temples
1-Altar rooms (maybe only in branches, not in D:foo)
The Rare Feature I'm Warning About Above
I wonder if there are others that I've forgotten / failed to encounter?
