Reaching a bend in a corridor, I took a step up and had the position # @ UU## whereupon the newly-visible U confused me, allowing the first one to do me in. In another game I found that U's can confuse across rooms (I lit the room with a staff of light). I managed to zap it with a 'slow monster' and walk randomly (spacing wouldn't have been enough -- it was only 8 spaces away or so). Fortunately, I tended *away* from the beastie, and recovered just in time.
