New pre-level message!

I was strolling through level 2 after hearing "You smell blood in thy air!" and "You sence a passage to a place beond". Of course the 2nd one means I'm going to find hell's arena, but the 1st one affected the game really weirdly.

It went like this:
1. Go down stairs to level 2, see funny blood message.
2. Kill unusually large ammount of humans, find the stairs to hell's arena behind them.
3. Check out the rest of the map, find even more humans and a few imps.
4. Go back to hell's arena staircase. I find to my surprise the huge amount of blood has turned in to 2 chainguns! Man that makes the cacos in HA a lot easier.

EDIT: Good thing I found them, HA's being a bi*** surrounding me with 4 enemies as I start.
EDIT THE SECOND: Just finished HA, I haven't used a medpack, I have a large medpack thanks to the blood item message, and I just hit level 3 in both distance and XP. Man this game's going well. (This is the last edit, because after this everything will not be related to this and I may as well post my post-mortem.)

The blood turned to chainguns? wow..

But  are you sure they weren't just dropped by something that picked them up? They can get randomly generated on level 2.

If a rocket launcher can get generated on level two, A chaingun sure as heck can...

I'd not be surprised though if strange things happened to the map when you were not looking..

Say, There is a suggestion for a hell level..

O_O Don't even joke about that. Don'y listen to him! He's crazy! :P

Actually, that would be pretty nice, just in moderation.

I would love a hell level. Be even cooler if there was a Spider Mastermind or even the real Satan himself; just like an overpowered Baron of Hell or something.

A demon named "Satan" would be kind of lame, Y'know, Cliche'd and all.

Now the Gatekeeper/Icon of Sin/Baazelbub would be a really good boss at the end of a game.

I like Icon of Sin. That'd be pretty cool, but it's hard to display wall textures with a top down game... hm...

Thats an easy one, Have the symbols aranged in a pattern

Perhaps "ICONOFSIN" is a bit too much, But "IIIIWIIII" where W is the weak spot could work.

Also perhaps a bit of ASCII movie magic could be produced and having a scene depicting the IOS from a first/third person perspective before fighting it would be in order.
