Entered the quest goal level and found all prison cells empty.
There were only a few random filler monsters, but not the ones
documented (https://nethackwiki.com/wiki/Necromancer_quest).
Inspected the level above also for cursed gain level escapes,
but it is empty as well. - Is that a Wiki documentation bug or
something else?

dat/Necro.des, the source file for the necromancer quest data
file, has a section preceded by the comment "# Captive Monsters
in the dungeon" and below it are six monsters: rogue named
"Pug", owlbear, wizard named "Next", and three more. However,
they are all commented out so won't appear during play.

That quest--or at least that particular level--is a clone of the
quest for the wizard role. But instead of updating those
prisoners, they just aren't there. It's possible that they were
there in some other version (the sources I'm looking at are
for 0.0.7E7F3).
