The fourth floor tosses a few wrinkles into the encounter mix. Back are the Rakshasas and Soldiers, but the other two common encounters are new. First is one or two Neochus, who can still be a moderate threat to your lightly-armored characters, but shouldn't slow you down at this point. Groups of Aeroses are just as nasty as the other elementals you've fought up to this point, but you can actually run from them. They have too much HP for magic to be a viable option, but their Evasion is immense so no matter how you take them down it's going to take a while. The other new encounter is Clay Golems with Mindflayers. Mindflayers may actually start running from you by this point, but they are as dangerous as ever if they decide to hit you with a few rounds of Mind Blast. Ignore the Clay Golems until the Mindflayers have been taken out, and just hope they don't Haste any of them, since it makes their instant KO attack that much nastier.
