Got in two games of testing the dungeon crawl today. We started our first game...and were ambushed on the staircase. Luckily it was a troll who we bribed so he'd leave us alone. Entering the room we encountered a pack of ghouls, backed up by a slowly growing horde of zombies.
The danger here was that zombies generate each turn - so if you're not hacking them down, the horde grows...endlessly. We had to fight single-file through the ghoul pack. Eventually we slowly hacked our way into the zombies - with the Dwarf leading the way.
Eventually, after maybe thirty minutes of game play, we finally cleared the room of the zombies. In the end we slew perhaps 35-40 zombies (from an original number of seven!). A thoroughly difficult first Chamber!
Sorry I didn't get to play at Coastal Con
