ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

The 4 that see you when you open the door followed me into the main hall and stopped chasing me at that point. I could easily take them down by applying disp shield and taking a single step, letting them breathe some, then stepping back, rest up, rinse and repeat.

Of the other 3, 2 never found a path to me despite having me as target. I killed them via fireblast, standing in my own blast zone with DP for more speed. Still didn't move to me despite getting damage.

The only regular kill was the final one .

I doubt i (or anyone, at that) could have survived those guys without broken pathfinding.

What I don't understand is that I've never encountered these in that room, up to b35, and I've gone plenty of times. It is either empty or once, a boss was in there.

I think it just spawns normal mobs if you go in at a low level.

That would epxlain a lot.

Can't confirm the low level, but what i found was that if you leave the level and reenter, the contents of that room are cleared and randomly filled. That was back in b18, though.
