One of the quickest things that people learn while dungeon crawling
is that the doors and walls are quite thin (regardless of how think
they appear). If you need to go into a room that you know has a
lot of monsters in it, you can stand outside the room and cast "Ring
of Fire" and it will pass right through the door and walls to hit
whatever monsters are around on the other side. Although the spell
isn't all that strong and won't kill them easily they will become
"active" and try to get to you. Now if you stand near the door you
can usually shoot arrows through the doors killing the monsters
on the other side without getting hit. If you do it right, you can
even hit them with your melee weapons and still not take damage.
This is an easy way to clear out monsters that may just be a little
too difficult for you at that time. Also use wizards eye to see
the effects of your spell and how many monsters are left on the
other side of the door (remember you can zoom in and out on the
wizards eye view!) |
