Basically, either you ninja'd the orb and the existing opponents are already a threat, or your steamrollered through Zot, and only the Pan Lords and 1s are a threat. It's hard to balance for both.

Re: Mercenaries: are they worth anything?

Mercs are "durably summoned" vs. permanent allies. I believe it was done so that you wouldn't theoretically stab them in the back and steal their equipment. Not that I've ever heard of a situation where a merc's equipment was nice enough to make this worthwhile...

That should definitely not be happening for Fannar - he's got his staff specified as his 'signature' weapon - he's only supposed to pick up another staff of cold or a (quarter)staff of freezing. If you've got a save with this happening, you should submit it on Mantis.

Actually, it would be nice if the game automatically limited firing/throwing ammo to the target distance (i.e. it behaved as if you had used '.' on the target) and it was instead an override to fire beyond the target. This seems like it would better fit the game's goals (because using "." ...
