New to this level is "Smoke in your eyes". Once you walk through it, your visibility is greatly impaired, and you might as well light up again with your favorite light spell. So far, mine is Greater Revelation. I can't wait until I find a lightwand, however!

I had a black widow join my party. What an ally! She would gnaw enemies to death - way cool!

The monsters here are just a bit harder than they were in the Sewers, and skeletons and zombies like to travel in large numbers! I found 45 zombies, 66 skeletons, and 9 wightes.

Also, my party encountered its first spinner in the middle of this level. One spinner isn't so bad. The next level will use these spinners much more, I'm sure!

My party is coming along quite well. I have a level 13 monk, hunter, bard, and rogue, a full magician/level 9 conjurer, and a full conjurer/level 9 magician.

My gnome mage is gaining spell points twice as fast as my elf mage, while my elf mage is gaining hit points twice as fast as his gnome counterpart. I'd rather have the spell points myself.



In other news, I mentioned that my website would transfer to a different web server - but it never happened. Oh well. Much ado about nothing...
