Very easy to kill at lvl 5. They occationally drops Thick Black Cape. If you are a non twink player its a good way of making money. They sell for around 3gp and some change. They also drop some minor items and rusty weapons. I havent seen any faction. Some would yell for help to the guards but dont worry about that : )
I'm a troll SK who's probobly gonna end up killing this guy simply because I can - what's his faction before I chop him up and toss him into the sewer?
I got no faction changes from toasting this fella. He did run toward a big nasty spectre on the other side of a secret door once hurt, though, so watch out if spectres don't like you.
The level is wrong because he conned yellow to your level 5 monk - indicating that he was 1 or 2 levels above you - as in the 6 to 7 range that is indicated?
I camped this mob with my level 6 Magician and he conned blue to me; this means he can be below level 6. The Thick Black Cape is nice for low levels (3 AC)...but casters can't wear it. :(
