RE: (TFT) Death test first encounter: spider probs....

Re the bears if you are Melee only it's not so good.  Pole weapons charge
bonus is the only way I have found to have a chance (sort of like actual
medieval bear hunting...).  With Wizard, illusions are your friend. 

Hmmm - should dig out and see how 4 unarmored halberd-users do.  It's been a
loooong time since I sent a party through DT(I)

Best,

Eric

The spiders, what a pain!  A year or 2 ago, I was working on a javascript
app to play out DT1 in a browser (haven't touched it lately).  I remember
having to code in a bunch of special cases just to handle exceptions for the
spiders.  In testing the spider room, the fights just ended up being tedious
and I decided it would be easier and more fun to just reduce the whole
encounter to a single roll with results based upon armor worn.  Usually I
just skipped the chest as I didn't want the gold bars anyway.  I never did
find a good way to defeat the bears without taking serious casualties.
