The caverns
of the Giant Ants will provide you with a moderate challenge. If
you can defeat all the Norkers, you can easily move on to the Ants.
There are a few hallways with large numbers of them, especially at the
end, so remember to box in your spellcasters and just keep stepping on
the Ants. Haste spells work well here, to speed the destruction of
the pests.
Encounter Key
There is
only one scripted encounter here, and it is in the big room at the end
of hte tunnels. There are three groups of ants here. Two of
the groups are 36 ants strong, while the last consists of 38 ants.
Be careful when ahuling the treasure horde back to the outpost, as you
will be weighed down and unable to move adequately during combat.
For the same reason, make sure you clear out all three groups of ants before
you start picking up the treasure horde that they guard.
