so I would kill a mob with my spider/chainstuns and then afk for like 7-8 minutes meditating.

sounds familiar, only replace chainstun with root/rot and meditating with manastone+robe of the spring :P

Here I made an interesting discovery: the scarelings really do proc gate. When they procced on my spider they just teleported him back to his spawn point behind the portal and healed him to boot. So once I had the area more or less clear of roamers I didn't have to worry about the scarelings too much (this wouldn't work on the break though; too many mobs path behind the portal).

nice find. i noticed that pets tend to be ported to the same location, but since i was generally charming different roaming shiverbacks the spawn loc pattern wasn't very obvious. knowing that you can probably clear the zone pretty quickly i would think.

I died a few times, mostly from either getting cocky or the fucking toads. As you can see getting a cleric to come rez in fear requires a certain amount of persuading.

how many corpses you pile up at once? think my record was 5 at a time before the first started to rot and I either got rezes or ate some exp. i was often too stubborn to hat out and it wasn't even worth it if i was lom to begin with.

i agree with svenn, go south of the house. also i would just avoid going west at all, even to SW corner. lots of scarelings to deal with and that glare lord. obviously clear the pathers that come to zone in then i'd clear the mobs that path north/south at the bottom of the hill to the east and maybe a few south/southeast of the hill. this will give you a pretty big area to work with if you want to play around. also some of these pathers go east/west in the same area you want to travel, so killing them might be helpful. can't remember if i cleared the house or not, but with harmo its a bit easier [You must be logged in to view images.

I also had to bring a shiverback with me, so going right for SE corner wasn't as much of an option, (and i was also there to kill gorgons for my tunic)

sounds like you're on the right track tho. i figure next time you try you'll speed up your kill rate a lot. gl
