Well, if you already hate the jungle for those reasons, you'll hate them
even more when you get there b/c there are soooooooooo many monsters of
all kinds. Those horky spawns are there, flying birds, of course the
big apes that I just love, bats, and these undead guys that just crop up
by the dozens outta nowhere. Although, it also depends on what
creatures you happen to draw because last night before I accidentally
saved my gave and restarted, I had a whole different set of characters
than when I went back in. But eventually you'll come across them all,
at least in the Spider Forest and Flayer Jungle. I did finally find
Flayer. I'm tempted to go into the Pit today. I don't usually bother
with that one since it's not a necessity, but I may give it a try. Oh,
and funny thing. Once I found Flayer, I couldn't remember why I was
there. THAT too much resembles my REAL life, lol. I just couldn't find
the dungeon anywhere and believe me, I looked.
I've been saving the tomes in my shared stash. I have about 6 or 7 of
each. I still pick up scrolls, but not every one that I see anymore
b/c, well you'll see when you get there. It's scroll heaven.
