Summary 0011232: Zot decor, and entries for Swamp and Vaults
Description skrybe_zot_glass:
A few attempts to make some odd but harmless decor vaults using colored glass. I know that recoloring features is generally discouraged, but I figure that by the time players make it to Zot, they're familiar enough with the game that colored glass won't be confusing.

skrybe_swamp_entry_bodies:
A Swamp entry that places a bog body, or occasionally two of them. I was surprised by how tough these could be in Lair. In particular, their cold melee, which is mostly a nuisance in Swamp, hits very hard in Lair. That plus hexes and undead resists should make an interesting challenge when this pops up. Swamp entries that place creatures seem to be weighted low, and this one is on the difficult side, so I weighted it 5. Feel free to adjust as needed.

skrybe_vaults_entry_preservation:
A Vaults entry that places an early ironheart preserver. Between the monsters placed by the vault, and the fact that it's open to the rest of the level, it's entirely possible to get swarmed here.

 I like the idea of coloured glass pillars in Zot decoratively. Definitely fits the weird vibe. Others on the devteam might disagree and prefer a more magenta zot experience. Currently these are in my mantis archaeology work for consideration.

No comments yet on the entry vaults, though I used bog bodies on refreshing an extant swamp entry, so it's a sound concept in my opinion.

 Looking at the entries: they're overall a bit too tough (placing more than one preserver, placing 0 bands with the bog bodies). I've toned them down a little in my editing.

 Thanks for the feedback on this and my other old vault submissions.

I'm unsure why you're saying the Vaults entry places more than one preserver. My intention was for there to just be one preserver, which should place on top of the stairs to Vaults. From my testing, it seems to work as intended.

 I've been reading a lot of vaults, I went a little cross eyed and thought the MONS line was preservers, not guards. Oops!
