Undead, starting dungeons and a quick exit

So I can get out of the starting dungeon very quickly...
1) Start with an Archmage
2) Go through set up and opening dialogue
3) Go hide behind a pillar
4) Teleport to Angolwen
5) On exiting Angolwen we get transported to the World map on the Trollshaws.
SO I have now thoroughly avoided the starting Undead dungeon.
I don't think that should be allowed. On the other hand why are the undead being penalised? This is discrimination!

zone for themselves with out of depth enemies. I took one step out of the starting room and was 1 shotted by a skeleton mage.

Yes, that's what I found... Really tough!
Made me think about whether I wanted to play a Skeleton at all!

What with the dark rooms, the mages are really pretty bloody fatal. I tried playing a mage because they're strong and got to level 3 or 4, before a skelly mage got me. Haven't even been able to repeat that much success yet.

Not only are the skel mages dangerous, they have (at least) level 3 manathrust, so they can kill you using some other bag of bones as a shield. I was able to make it out with a skel fighter once, but my archers have literally no chance. Between the mages, a skel armored fighter, and not only ghouls but ghasts it's just almost impossible for any character at that level. Especially since they don't even know what a scroll of phase door looks like....

(as posted elsewhere in more detail) Got a shadowblade out, after a ridiculous number of failures. You have to get lucky, and then play perfectly for the first three or four levels of it, but it's just barely doable.

sorry darkgod, but my skeletal mage still has no troubles teleporting out of the halls of the dead. This is probably a good thing though, as when i try to go up a dungeon level i get embedded in rock and time just passes me by. sometimes being the animated dead and not needing to breathe is a curse. i'm using the supposed 11b mac release, which sounds like it may have some issues. haven't come across any vaults either, except for the rooms filled with monsters (with a lv 24 mage).
keep up the good work, though. loving the game.

well, considering that it still isnt fixed in 11b, I would say that it is fine. (he fixed it for 12)
