Lol, are we still going for that? do players actually do:
See maurice
Run back upstairs
Drop resources that you are carrying because you need those to survive
Go back down and search for Maurice without those resources
OR
Kite maurice, who has invisibility, swiftness, and blink
Hope he doesnt get adjacent before you get to the stairs
OR
Drop everything on spot
Fight maurice
Hope no other threats come into sight while maurice blinks around invisible
Hope maurice doesnt teleport and go actually find resources to waste on you
I guess there may be the case that you are so down on your luck that all you have is a iceblast or slow or confuse or 2 of these that you can just drop them before engaging without it being a big deal because you dont really need them...
