### Hints & Tips: The Wisdom of Gunthro Budkin

I write these words for those who would pursue the honorable profession of dungeon exterminator.

When roaches approach in a line, assess the width of their progression:
If it is but one roach wide, advance with confidence.
If it is two roaches wide, hold your ground.
If it is three roaches wide, a retreat will be necessary.

A sword may be wielded against enemies in two ways. You may prefer swinging or stepping, but mastery of both is necessary.

A pair of roaches should be no match for a master swordsman, even if they flank him on either side. Should they attack from the rear, advance and seek cover.

Only an efficient swordsman will prevail against the roach queen. Move swiftly to the queen, paying as little attention to her offspring as safety permits.

Fools forget that they can move in eight directions.

Orbs are entirely predictable and simple to understand. I have never found an orb to contain complex instructions.

Fear not the most devilish hordes when you stand upon the force arrows correctly.

Evil eyes would rather sleep, so let them.

The fleet-footed may move easily among a nest of serpents. They cannot move in the same ways you can, and their predatory eyes will not find you well if you do not stand in their view.

Some stairways lead to unexpected places.
