Yeah! There were some after me when I went "foraging around" a cave I came across in which I found to be the Stout Mines and I didn't have the writ so that's why I headed for the Boogre Prison.
I KILLED BOTH AMAZONI MANTRAPS!!!! YEEEHAW!

Used four Elemental Spells and 2 Face of Death spells and it wiped out each of them. I now found a freeze spellbook and can't use it with ANY of my characters. Any ideas here pals?
This game gets better and better the more you travel around. Oh, I did find the Griffon and killed it too! What a toughie he was blocking the Stout Mines! GEESH!
It takes quite awhile for my chars to get up in levels so off to the wild blue yonder I go to raise them up! See you all soon again!!!
PS: Yes, the Amazoni Mantraps can't get down ANY of the smaller tunnels which is a BIG plus. If you're in the Boogre Prision and they follow you (I just avoided them at first as someone asked how I missed them; they are EASY to outrun) then head into that tunnel pronto! It works since they can't fit! Just watch for the smaller versions of them; not as tough but can cause EXTREME damage if you don't watch for them and they can travel in water!!!
DW Bradley really had his work cut out for himself on this wonderful game!!!
