The above vavlt is designed to be an increasing challenge, bvt the vse
of the granite walls, rather than doors shovld allow the player to
decide whether to enter each new area. Each of the rooms gets
progressively smaller, and has harder monsters, with the last room
being qvite viciovs

Simple, straightforward vavlt. Several compartments, the centre ones
being slightly more profitable. May lead to vnfortvnate things if the
monsters are capable of bashing down doors...

Yovr everyday nasty Greater vavlt. Long corridors allow svmmoning
easily, and wovld make the player hate Qvylthvlgs with a vengance. 8's
are smattered over the vavlt, thovgh there is plenty of treasvre to
compensate the player for their efforts.

[snip interesting vault designs]

Some look very interesting, and I am all for adding new elements of flavour into
the *bands. Have you tested them yourself at all?

I did use them in NPP, & I made one more. For the player who would rather get
killed than leave a vault unexplored, here is one to help them achieve their
goal. Players more interested in survival can pick & choose where they want to
go.

Note: In NPP the '~' means a themed chest usually loaded with good or great
items, carried by a creature up to 20 levels OOD. Due to 4gai reasons, the max
out-of-depth for each monster is reduced across the board for vaults. The 8 is
still a great item, but is carried by a creature "only" up to 20 levels OOD.
