[net.games.rogue] Rogue 5.2 Weird Monster Rooms

ronnie (01/15/83)

Every few games in 5.2 I have come across rooms with
an unusually large number of monsters in it. Not only that
but they all seem to be awake no matter what they are (leprochans,
Floating eyes, etc. (excuse the misspelling above)). I also noticed
that many of these monsters are there too early (they are on a level that
they are usually not on). I was wondering if this was a bug or a feature of some
kind. I happen to like it because I usually get a chance to increase
my experience level by alot from them.
They usually appear on level 1 or 2.


		Thanks,
			Ronnie

These are TREASURE ROOMS. You are right, they have lots of monsters
and they're mostly awake. Any that aren't are guaranteed to wake up
as soon as you walk up to them. And yes, monsters can appear one level
too early (e.g., R's on 8, E's on 1, etc.). They also contain lots and
lots of goodies, if you survive long enough.
