Not really surprised by the goblin thing. There are a few gobbos in the lesser caves who really blow the curve for the rest of their goblin buddies!

Re: Which area kills more Arkazians?
I'm guessing the goblins are one of the benchmark dungeons for people. They play a new pc for a bit then get tired of killing the easier things and say to themselves, "I think I'm ready for some goblins". The goblins say, "Noooos yoooos notsss!"
My RP strategy for playing a low wisdom character is to basically just be myself.

*is fairly sure at least 5 of those deaths happend to my PC* doing good, doing good... not doing good, dead. at low levels there isn't much turn around and run away (and actually get away) time.

Hah! Back when I started playing on Arkaz, Goblins WERE the easier things! We didn't have any sissy bees or flying books to play patty-cake with. No Sir! We ate Goblin three times a day, and we LIKED it! We had to walk 12 areas back from the death plane every time we got killed; up hill, no less!

Re: Which area kills more Arkazians?
I've started 3 new char in the time I have playing CoPaP which is going on 9 years now. Each one I started usually begins with me at some point getting eaten by a rat. I have been tinkering around with some new char ideas so I played a few for a bit on some modules I have have, same thing, firebeetles, rats, etc. The quickest way to get dp'ed is to play a new char after playing a high level main for a long time

Re: Which area kills more Arkazians?
Lord,
I forgot all about the rat-caves. Death to noobs everywhere!
(my usual lowbie trip through the rat caves goes something like this. )
Rat! [Dead Rat], Rat! [Dead Rat], Rat! [Dead Rat], Rat! [Dead Rat],
Dire Rat! [Dead Dire Rat], Dire Rat! [Dead Dire Rat], Dire Rat! [Dead Dire Rat], Dire Rat! [Dead Dire Rat],
RAT KING! [Dead PC]
A monster that requires a magic weapon to damage at the end of a 1st level quest that's worth all of 50xp? ouch! The pain... the pain.. It's evil. It's like: van with blacked out windows and a sign that says "free candy!" parked in front of a school, evil.
