Yeah, sorry, I wanted to say dungeon HELL is safer than hell in 
nightmare. I always get confused by all those different terms :)

I drop my money in town. Normally I only play games with people I know 
(with password protection), but if someone else would take it: it really 
maskes no difference if you can amass so much money in dungeon HELL mode.
Believe me, it´s like robbing fort knox :)

Golem gets his butt kicked against the butcher, that´s right, but against 
 normal monsters he will rock. He kills them all, except when he is 
surrounded by too many or when there are monsters witch ranged attacks.
But he needs only one blow against those skeletons and scavengers and 
what else creeps around. This surely is funny, since he only does 11-17 
damage (according to the spellbook) and the skeletons have more than 200 
in HELL mode, but this is the way it is.

Again: What I wanted to say: dungeon HELL mode is easier than hell 
NIGHTMARE mode. Sorry about that mistake. It surely confused the readers.
