- The key to surviving that first room in CSB is to back up quickly
- while casting Light, then getting the hell out of there...
-
- You can always come back and fight the worms (indeed, you do
- return to this room later), but until you get some weapons and
- armor, it's best to leave them alone.. there are some nice
- items in the secret room off the side of the first room, but
- there's a good chance you'd be trapped by worms if you try to
- get in there right away.
-
- Falling IS bad... you just have to try not to do it until you
- build up some health. Also, again knowing where to go, and what
- to avoid is important.. I doubt any single Champion could
- make it the first time anyone played the game.. but then again,
- I used to doubt a single Champion could make it through DM..

- (Oh.. about a "magic only" trip through DM.. MON fireballs will
- "open" doors in CSB, but I never did try it in DM.. the door at the
- "None Shall Pass" area can be ignored (there's nothing much worth
- getting), but the "Don't Let a Closed Door Stop You" door has to go..
- the Champions would have had to have been practicing fireballs for a
- while to get that much power on Level 4.. still, it should be possible)
