Gold earned from defeated enemies is a random amount ranging from 1 to 17. Earned experience is a similar random value, too, but experience has no effect in this game.

Overworld enemies[edit | edit source]

An enemy that can drop an item will always drop one item upon defeat.

HP are inversely proportional to the frequency of encounter. E.g. an enemy with few HP will appear very often, while one with lots of HP will appear seldom.

Player-type characters (thief, fighter, wizard) can be met both in the wilderness and in town. In town they are peaceful (exceptions exist). Clerics are met in town only.

Defeating a guard is the only way to earn keys, but guards are one of the strongest opponents in the game. The HP of townsfolk is variable (except for guards), but usually quite high.
