Omg! I really hate it when something like this happens! =D
You know, I just played DoomRL, and it was a really crappy run. For starters, I didn't find any red armor during the whole game! Luckily, it was compensated by the Baron's Armor I found later on.
Anyway, in L19 (when I still had the blue armor) I was -->!spawned between!<-- exactly 2 BoH's, 3 HK's, 1 Mancubus, 2 Arachnotrons, some weaker enemies and, worst of all, an Arch-Vile. UGH!! Luckily, I had a homing phase device =)
