ToME: the Tales of Maj'Eyal

So I'm not sure what exactly controls the spawns for a level, but I'm fairly sure a Greater Multi-hued Wyrm on Dreadfall lvl 2 might be a bit much. I opened the wall scrolled over it and just uttered, "Well thats the game." Then, like I'm a psychic, I got Smashed.

Was this in a vault? Monsters spawn at out-of-depth levels in a vault; that's why there's a prompt asking if you really want to open the door.

When you are sure you will get smashed on the next turn, best thing to do is use one of your means of escape (teleport rune, psychoport torque, etc).

I guess I didn't know the vaults were so known for lvl 50 enemies. I also didn't connect the door message with a place i dug to later. I did try and phase rune but i ended up still in range.
