ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

I didn't know it was possible for hordes of snakes to appear like this. I counted 36 snakes on 1 screen.

And that is a level 26 elder vampire over there. I know enemies can appear in random dungeons now... but still!
Edit: There's also a few Fire drake hatchlings right below that.

Oh my you are a lucky one

Yummy!

It gets worse in other places! Thankfully the dungeon tends to be a little more persistent and so you can disappear upstairs, rest and come back for a second helping!

I think the most random monster I've found out of place so far is a honey tree in amon sul.

Now that I've pulled me head away from the Chronomancy threads and have given myself some play time with my hobbit berserker I have to say...

MONSTER PITS ARE FRICKING AWESOME!!

Found a wolf pit and had a blast clearing it!

Hehe

Not that I'm complaining but I just hit my third monster pit in less then twice as many dungeon levels. Are they meant to be this common? (I am a hobbit, not sure if that would matter)

*edited* Should be less then twice as many dungeon levels. I think I found three out of five dungeon levels with pits and was diving rather then clearing.

They should be rarer than money vaults (in places where there are money vaults)

I love those snake and wolf pits, it's a great way for fighters to level up. My last fighter had zero physical damage from all those snakes and wolves and just had to worry about poison.

I just came across my first Skeleton/Vampire pit...

And they won ?

No, although it did take a number of efforts to clear! I came down some stairs and they were in the room I entered...

There were 5 master archers and several spell casters!

yeah, I ran into an undead pit when I was doing my lvl-1-straight-into-tol-falas, fortunately it was not in my starting room, and I was able to clear it without really any problems with LOS carefulness.

really all that is needed for these is care...
