[Too Darkpark]

i've noticed that almost all monsters won't come near the entrances to towns and even archways such as the one in arindale and ulm/fathien keep.

i normally avoid using cheesy tactics but the pausing when i get immobilized i do use. for example, sometimes you meet that witch roaming the wilderness that casts gripping vines on you and she usually has about a half-dozen undead with her. if i hadn't paused the game than i would have been shredded by those undead.
