The Ratman Fortress

The ratman fortress is a nice area. There are a mixture of different things to try yourself against, from the lowly miners to the Ratman High Priest. As a rule I'd consider each mob before you try to kill it. The hardest one I came across was the Ratman General in the Office of the General (Og). He was about a 130k kill. There are several keys and locked doors to play with too, but I won't tell you and spoil the fun.

The strangest thing here is the Circular Room (Cr). If you wait long enough it changes to a different circular room with different exits. To return to the original, just wait in the replacement and it'll swap over again.
