- I got a deck of Cards, the Deck of Power.... Is it useful?

- 3 runes... i cna get to Zot now...Is it a one-way trip? When I am in Zot,
can I go back to the main dungeon?

- 4 Hells... Which one should I try to tackle?

- The Tomb & the Crypt... Reached lvl 3 of the Crypt e stopped on the first
one of Tomb... Is it a good idea to get inside?

- Pandemonium & Abyss ... should a make a trip there?

Possibly, i havn't gotten that deck. However, decks can and do send you
to the abyss. Beware!

Yes, the Orb is in Zot, and you have to bring it back to the surface.

No, tackling hells are not for the faint of heart. I've been there with
a cheat character, and despite my substantial HP value, i was killed
several times. Take artifacts only if you are daring to go, to ensure
some chance of survival!

Possibly. The Tomb and Crypt are, as their names suggest, filled with
undead. Get draining resistances, some artifacts, and spells that can
hurt undead (ice does didly squat) before venturing forth.

No. Never. You can get runes in Abyss, but you should never purposely
go to either place, as there are many, MANY monsters that can kill
almost any character outright. How? Summoning. Often, the summoned can
summon as well. Thus, the entire play area can - theoretically - be
completly filled with demons.

If I remember right, your stats were pretty balanced. One or more of
the decks has cards in it that can (temporarily?) sap up to 10 from
your str, dex, or int, instakill if the hit stat is low. Note that you
will not be sent to the Abyss or Pandemonium-- so I've read, and so I
believe-- from a Labyrinth.

MMh... I do not fear the Abyss.

Yes, but after I enter the Realm of Zot, can I go back to the main dungeon?

I take notes.

Got reasy Crystal Spear & Bolt of fire...

Yes. Some nice cards inside.
The Deck of Wonder is extremely dangerous and the Deck of Power too is
not free from risk, though.

You can go back from the Realm of Zot.
But don't drop the runes there, or you may not allowed to enter again!

> - 4 Hells... Which one should I try to tackle?
None of them, maybe.

> - The Tomb & the Crypt... Reached lvl 3 of the Crypt e stopped on the

> one of Tomb... Is it a good idea to get inside?
No, for mortal beings the Tomb is probably more dangerous than Abyss...
so just don't go there. the Crypt is nice place to travel in.

> - Pandemonium & Abyss ... should a make a trip there?
First, try the Abyss if you dare!
And, if you survive in the Abyss, learn the Banishment spell,
go there and be terrified to death!
