What you need to know to figure it out is that it is really three different rooms with the same configuration and teleporters to move you between them. Using the magic footprints spell and the see through walls spell, you can usually tell where you are in the sequence. I found it best to use magic footprints, then walk *backwards*. That way, I could see when I got teleported.

Clockwise room spoiler follows: Well, I don't know if you can call it "figuring it out", but I manage to get through it by: Starting IMMEDIATELY when I enter the room, I walk counter-clockwise. I also walk facing backwards. This is somewhat awkward, and you will run into a couple of wasps or bees or whatever those things are, and a good number of walls, but you'll be sure to not miss some of the goodies that are left for you. The exit from the corridor is in the room where you find the chest. After you encounter the "chest room" a second time, enter it and you'll find the corridor leading forth into the rest of the level. I haven't continued on in the room since "solving" it, so I don't know if it continues to produce treasures for you or not. Ob. plea for DM help: Can someone tell me how to kill the water puddles?

I used to try to time my spells for when they rose up, but I've found that the spells work at either stage.......It does seem that they are more effective when the creatures are at maximum height, however....but a steady barrage is the best defense. Also, a vorpal blade is fantastic against them.

I think there are three possible methods 1. Lead them over a grate: they drain away ! 2. Use vorpal blades (disrupt) 3. Use Des Ew spell to weaken non-material beings Thats all I can think of so far.
