How am I standing on level 100 of Angband?

[sephiroth2906]

Sauron is still very much alive, and as yet unseen. But I found a down staircase on 99 and went down. The ring is toast. I have had an Angband winner before, but this is my first ToME character to make it this far. Is this normal? Did I screw something up?

Thanks in advance

IIRC, Morgoth will not appear until you've destroyed (or worn) the One Ring.

I did destroy the ring, but I thought that the staircase to 100 would not appear until Sauron was killed. I did go back up to 99, found Sauron and pumped him full of manathrust until he burst after I made the first post, I guess I just misunderstood how it worked. Looking for Morgy now.

yeah, all levels of angband are accessible after lvl 33... however, Morgoth should not be generated until after you have killed Sauron.
