What method do I use to get past the first dozen eyes? No sword direction, nor travel direction, has worked yet. (I thought about a scheme to fill the room up with roaches, but realized that wouldn't work either.)

Thanks -

Incidentally, you can also kill them one row at a time.

Thanks to both of you -

This was the approach I thought would be most promising, except I couldn't figure that out either. No place to hide . . .

A simple trick. (secreted to save space)

Actually, the way I solved this part was to do it like this!

1. Face West and go here.

2. Continue forward, swing counter-clockwise to kill an eye, and duck here.

The eyes then can't get you because they can't move through that eye.

I got killed trying to do that. Are you sure about this?

Well, it might just work - if there weren't any brains, which there are...

Ack, I'm sorry, no, that doesn't work, and in fact, that's not what I did. Sorry about that.

Huh. Seems this room is slightly less evil than I thought. I used some roach eggs to help me get safely back by the orb, and it wasn't easy.

I've dealt with the eyes, but I keep getting blown up trying NOT to get blown up by he bomb.

Waiting one turn gets me blown up, ducking out sooner extinguishes the fuse.

Any suggestions welcome.

thanks,

Waiting a turn is necessary. But look where you're standing when you get blown up.
