No idea has anyone made a discussion out of this yet, but I just stumbled upon a medium lesser vault of demons that was on a river.

It's a pretty fun sight, all those demon hounds separated by water squares. Happened to anyone else here?

Yes. Kobold lesser vault on a river level. I was an archer, and you can tell I was pretty happy with my arrow collection.

Must be pretty rare, though... I've played ADoM since what, the second grade and I'm in high school now, and this is the first time it's happened to me. Hehe. Poor little hellhounds.

Well, the only dungeons (I think) vaults can be generated in are the UD and CoC...
Anyway, what is the chance of randomly generating a river on a level? I've actually had it happen 3 times to me in my ADoM career... Once that, another one with spawners, and another greater vault of white wyrms, all of them having rivers.

And Puppy cave :)

Happened a fair few times to me though. Must be (un?)lucky.

It happens. I've also had tension rooms and threat rooms with rivers running through them. Funniest was I could see a square up about 4 spaces on a non-swimming character on a river so I used on demand teleport to reach it. Turns out I teleported directly into a threat room of ancient blue dragons. I blame the assholes for not stepping on the one visible square I had of the room to let me know what I was about to do was a really bad idea.

And right now, on the very same character, the RNG decides to dump a Ki-rin on me, one of the most rarest monsters in the game. Exceptional.

Oh, and Hateful Eternium Longsword of Devastation (+0, 6d8+15). Hehe. This thing beats my crowning gift in damage, and is only one-handed...

EDIT: A few hours later, a SECOND Ki-rin. What the hell is going on?

No idea why the RNG is so kind to me on this try. I think it's a conspiracy, but I'm rolling with it for a while.
