Can't find Sigmund anymore

I know it's a stupid question, but i'm new to the game. First i've see Sigmund on D:4, avoid to fight him. Now i return to D:4 from D:6, but i can't find him anymore: maybe he's moved on another level ?
I put also my work in progress, if someone have some advice... :mrgreen:

Re: Can't find Sigmund anymore

He could have hit a shaft trap, which would send him down to a lower level. He won't use stairs or escape hatches unless he's following immediately behind you, so if he's not on his starting level a shaft trap is the only possibility. He could also have hit a teleport trap and ended up in an isolated room, perhaps blocked off by a secret door.

More likely, though, Sigmund is simply on the move. If you're making a large circuit around the level, looking for him, and he's making that same large circuit around the level, looking for you, then you're simply not going to run across each other. If you search more systematically and use the shout command a lot, you'll find him eventually.

I don't know that there's much advice I can offer at the moment, other than to keep heading carefully down looking for Lair. Do pick up Ozocubu's Armor eventually; it's very good even if you can't cast it effectively yet. It might not be worth the time it takes to hunt down Sigmund because he isn't worth that much xp. The off-chance that he has a branded robe is really the only thing worth looking at.

Or make some noise. Find a loud spell and blast it a few times. Just make sure you have enough in the tank to deal with Siggy.
