Experience farming (spoilers)

even though my PC only had the weak ring of reganeration, for some reason in the slave tunnels of Sendai's enclave, he just didn't seem to suffer damage - so I just left him fighting Orogs(?) which appeared in pairs. after I went up a couple of levels, I decided to finish it off, but there was a temptation to just let them spawn time after time and splat them. I had an ac of about -10 and was using the Axe of the Unyielding in the right hand and the +4 longsword in the left - I was usually killing them in about 1 round each - I had +++++ in longsword and just + in axe. even so, I was shocked when I checked my HP level after a number of these creatures were gone and found the PC was still uninjured.

a couple of NPCs had been killed early on, just through sheer numbers and Sarevok was taking some damage in his fights, despite a better AC - he didn't seem to be destroying those that came his was as effectively as the PC (a lvl 18 fighter dualed to then lvl 23 thief). Sarevok was using the vorpal halberd in which he has +++, yet seemed to take more punishment.

anyhow - the bad guys seem to keep re-spawning until you kill the Slavemaster, so it occured to me that it would be possible to rack up a pinball score of xp by staying near the entrance and never going far into the cave. you could leave the rest of the NPCs in the Plane while you did it. should you be inclined or perhaps strip them of their kit and let them perish early while you concentrate on the xp.

anybody know any better ones?

(I flogged 75 suits of +1 full plate, so there must have been a lot of enemies)
