Monsters

Warning
Monsters appear to scale in difficulty by level. While a level 3 orc will always be easier to kill than a level 1 gargoyle, please note that our measurements are mostly of level 1. Experience points do not scale. Hit point total estimates might be off by as much as 12 hit points. Exercise extra caution in light of this new information on levels 2 and 3. Stay safe out there! -Pundyne

Overview

Monsters are hostile creatures that will attack you in the dungeon, thus starting a battle. There are many different monsters that have different stats and abilities.

There are 2 main types of monsters: Wandering monsters and Stationary monsters. Wandering monsters will have a rare chance to appear in any room or hallway/corridor that does not have a dead monster already in it, while stationary monsters will always appear in a certain room(s). However, there are hybrids between the two types. For example, the Evil Necromancer will randomly choose a large room on the 3rd level of the dungeon, which means that it has the randomness of a wandering monster, but will also have set rooms to spawn in, like a stationary monster.

All monsters will do damage to you if they are able to attack you, although sometimes they will try to steal your gold or run away.

Dealing with Monsters

The most common way to deal with a monster is to attack them.

If you kill a monster, you will earn rewards. You are guaranteed to earn XP and gold, but there is also a rare chance to earn potions or spells.

You can also attempt to charm a monster, and if you succeed by passing a charisma test, they will peacefully leave the room. You earns you XP if you successfully charm a monster, but not as much as the XP you earn by killing the monster.

Instead of attacking a monster, you can also ask to move in a valid direction, and if you succeed by passing a dexterity test, then you can run away.

Others

If you say the command "listen" in the dungeon, and if you succeed by passing a perception test, you will be able to hear the if there are sounds of monsters in the surrounding rooms or passageways.

If you say the command "Ask for Divine Assistance" in the dungeon, and you succeed by passing a wisdom test, you will be given visions from the gods which show you if there is a monster in a nearby room or hallway.

Note: A different effect will occur if you are not in the dungeon.
