Also for comparison, there is a chance of anaconda skeletons and simulacra showing up in the Abyss, as well as ancient liches: the first are extremely fast and hit like a steam train, while the latter spam fiends and crystal spear. The chances of survival for running into one of these is impossibly low except for very powerful characters. -Jude ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ Increase Visibility of Your 3D Game App & Earn a Chance To Win $500!
