You sometimes meet some creatures that do not show up often. I wonder if any of you have similar stories.

Ran into 2 Flesh Rippers, lev 13, about 180 HP, they have paralyze and possess and ?

This was on the Arnika-Trynton road. I don't recall seeing them before. (They look like mummies/ghouls).

Feel free to add your most infrequent enemies...

Wow, they're new to me. What level were you? Was this a regular party, or were the characters edited?

Still with the two-party. Using the RFS non-magic Monk and Faerie Bishop (formerly Ninja).

She is now 15, he's about 11 but would have to check. Coming out of the Swamp at night to the road. This party of one and a consort is working.

cool one, zig!

because of the way the auto-leveller works, you'll find that if you take different size parties to certain areas, or take your usual party around in a new order, you'll run into monsters you've never seen before.

i would guess that in your case, zig, you were on the road at night, which makes a difference as well.

Yah, if you want to experience a vast variety of Undead, go to the graveyard at night.

Hi,

I once met Umpani Renegades (Lvl 5) with my Lvl 9 party in the Northern Wilderness. I've never seen them again in my games ( maybe because my party-level is usual higher in this area ).

Greetings

Although I like the idea of going to the graveyard at night, I have met some bad_a** critters there. I think there were three sorceresses, perhaps Geomancers with an Elemental. Magic Screen and Element Shield weren't enough. A real challenge. I think there were others, some Trynnie spirits, not the first easy ones, these were much harder. Would like to see their stats.

I also wonder if you stop all monster gen in that area when you neutralize the cursed critter caught by a spell in the Crypt. The message you get implies you removed a curse or something.

Edit: Hi, Loudhy, tackling the Northern Wilderness at lev 9 sounds like a real challenge itself!

yeah, my wife and i refuse to travel almost anywhere at night now after our bad experiences on the arnika road. undead and sorceresses are bad near the cemetery, but other roads pop up some "more nasty than usuals" at the wee hours.

i only just discovered you can uncurse that fellow in the cemetery, so havent had a chance to test the spawning. if anyone's noticed, i'd like to hear.

edit: actually, that beginning sounds like it belongs in the other thread about "you know you're addicted to wiz 8 when..." [img]tongue.gif[/img]

In a couple of games - so it's pretty rare - I've come across Trynnie outcasts and renegades. Not in Trynton, but on the Arnika-Trynton road.

In my current game, i met succubus slimes and oozing slimes (both level 8). Can't remember seeing them before.

Killer Kubes are quite rare too (they show up sometimes in a retro dungeon)

Yesterday I met a group of Rogue Picus ( Lvl 13 ) the first time . Do they have special abilities ?? ( Because of their name I avoid them ).

I've met plenty of Trynnie renegades/ outcasts, and a fair few rogue picuses. They blind and I think they also paralyse or poison.
I've only ever met a couple of adamantium slimes and a few black metallic slimes, but people seem to think these are common.
Vampire bats seem to be rare, which is annoying, because I can't get any wings for Ferro.

I've found them several times in the swamp or under the trynton tree. They are just stronger picuses with some extra abilities.

In the umpani caves you have a rather high chance of running into vampire bats, or even bat vampires (they don't drop wings).

I just seem to meet bat vampires all the time.
I've also run into lesser demons in the mountain wilderness. They had paralyse and possess and fiery magic.

I once ran into them with a lvl 8 party and they just wasted us.

Wow, dplax, that's some bad rolling, eh!

I did want to get some items from Bla really early, but then I got stuck in between two lesser demons and about 8 fire ants, and I could only fightr throuh the ants, so put off Bela for another few levels.

I don't know if these guys are rare, but I came across 3 lvl 10ish Tomb Reapers in the cemetery, decided not to fight them coz my lvl 7 party was in pretty bad shape at the time. Maybe I should have, I've never encountered them before, I may never again. :(

Flesh Rippers sounds familiar... what did they look like?
Has anyone come across Merchant Rapax? They dress like Antone and Ferro, it didn't hit me to check their stats until after I killed them about five seconds after I found them. (Mindflay)

Once I encounted a furry beastie called a "Jugganaut" lvl 11 on the Arnika-Trynton road. Another time I ran into an insect known as a Swarming Wasp. And I think in one of my previous parties I even managed to spot some kind of red plant, Crimson Poppy I think it was called. ;) LOL. (No, I'm not being serious)

Flesh Rippers look just like the mummy near the crypt in the cemetary.

The first time I played I ran intq the mother of all bats ("giant bat") in Trynton. Actually it was just hovering around minding it's own business until we got too close. Haven't seen it since.

If you leave the monastery at a low level (2-3), you'll fight little wimpy redweeds and spore plants.

Crimson Poppies aren't rare if you were serious...
Yes, I remember seeing a flesh ripper with 6 Piercer Modais.

That Giant Bat appears now and again just off the Tree, i've managed to kill it a couple times, but it almost never lets itself in for combat.

Ran into some Brain Borers in the swamp yesterday.
