Void idea, was Re: [CF-Devel] town portal (RE: CVS commit: maps/city/misc)

[Rick Tanner]

Using this post and the discussion (on IRC) on what kind of monster and
room layout the void should consist of (if this idea is implemented..)

What about the a map similar to the final gate in the Gates of Hell quest
(the Palace in Britany/Brest) ?

You have the Balrog (Jessy?) demon in a room blasting you with spells and
you have to either kill the demon or out maneuver it to pull the levers to
get the key and then get out.

      What this caused, was that players used portals more gingerly.  Only when they
