threat rooms (?) in cavernous levels

[manseman]

I just had to deal with a section of the blue dragon caves generated filled to the brim with (not sure how many, I killed over 30) very experienced quickling queens. Not sure if this stuff is by design, but it's at least borderline silly. This is R59. Anybody see this before?

[JellySlayer]

I've seen this lots of these before. I'm not sure if it is a bug or not. Honestly, I think open threat rooms are a nice feature and it would be a shame if they disappeared.

[Blasphemous]

I second JellySlayer in this. Those threat rooms have been around since I can remember and they are a nice feature.
Ask _Ln_ about his quickling kings on the cavernous level in CoC.
I'm sure he'll be more than forthcoming about his excitement at that time.

I seemed to get these below casino in coc cavernous.
Black unicorns was very grindy hade a nasty with titans that i tried to tackle but died.
Quickling queen/king room was scary.
All with different chars.

[manseman]

titans would suck too, but the thing that really annoyed me now was that the misery was generated in the dragon caves, so no way of skipping or coming back later without giving up my ultra attempt

Sharad does say the task is extremely dangerous . Had "rooms" of balors, werewolf kings and emperor liches (right next to the stairs too) in BDC.

[manseman]

Yeah, well, I still think it's excessive . Anyway, I guess next time I will play it as safely as possible by checking out the caves before talking to Sharad-Waador. Assuming that is allowed.

I got a threaten room of greater titans on D:50. Just throwing this out here.

I've been mostly lucky, I've only ever encountered one such room in a cavernous level, on the downside it was filled with hostile white unicorns and I was crowned lawful. I died.

Threat room of pretty much anything on D50 is no fun but it happens.
I just wanna say, I had balors on D50 and I had white unicorns as L+ char or greater earth elementals and quickling queens so there is nothing that could surprise me and prevent me from getting through.
It happens, and you just have to go through or not finish the game at all, that's how fucked up D50 (and around that) could be.
It's the final of the levels after all. If you can beat it, you can beat the game, even if happens ten levels before, on R40 or so, then so be it.
Move on and complete the game.
