I decided to keep the ring and it's helped me out a lot against poison
breathing monsters, like dragons and wyvern and also against arachnids
like
mirkwood spiders and scorpions.

The dungeon wasn't a square one, just a kind of round one. IT's one of the
wooden floored dungeons and the animals were mainly humanoid, and animals,
with a few other oddities like moon beasts.

I'm currently ambling around at about 1650 feet and running into the odd
out
of epth monster, none of which have been a real bother to me yet. I'm

start
looking for vaults.
