Level "feelings" if there is an artifact present

[bricks]

While ToME doesn't really ask the player to skip through encounters or run for the stairs to avoid dangerous monsters, there are some levels where it is really easy to miss artifacts that are either equipped by monsters or are on the ground. A message on entering the level, if an artifact is present, would be very nice. While this may sound like giving the player guaranteed artifacts, the only time this is a serious issue is levels like the Maze or Ardhungol, where fully exploring the zone is exceedingly tedious. The truly dangerous areas, such as vaults, would still be, well, dangerous.

Might also be nice to notify the player if there is a severely out of depth monster on the level - "You sense the presence of something truly foreboding" or some such line.

I think it'd be useful for the Farportal levels too. Right now I basically just try and head as quickly as I can to the stairs so that I can get to the next level and fight the boss. While I'm generally doing the Farportals for the boss' artifact, it would be nice to know if I might be missing something on floor (especially in the Maze-style levels).

I actually think I suggested something like this ages ago, connected to the Orb of Scrying(or equivalent talents, for Undead/Yeek).

I'd have had it trigger while leaving the zone, but making it work when you enter would be even better.

Also liking the OOD idea, again I'd tie it to the Orb/equivalent talents.

If you want idea's for level messages, just look at ADOM:

Vaults could give a message too
tension room might also work
