Hi folks:

I was playing on Nightmare in the caves and ran across some nasties that I had never seen
before.  They are yellow cave creatures of some sort that come out of the ground right
next to you!  Even though I was a level 32 sorcerer with an amulet of harmony and a good
size mana shield up, they killed me because I couldn't get a spell off with that many of
them attacking me at once in close quarters.  Has anyone seen these things before, and how
do you get rid of them?  

I didn't get a chance this time because I was so suprised by the first one that I didn't
try to attack until they were all around me, which was too late.  I figure that the three
choices are chain lightning, stone cursing them as they appear, or flash.  I've been
pretty disappointed with the flash spell so far.  Even though the damage potential at
level 17 or 18 is listed as somewhere between 400 and 700, I've never actually had it work
on bad guys that got close to me.  I normally teleport away if I get swamped.
