A Balrog encounter.

tsk, tsk, tsk.

Option EXPLORE is ok, if you're a stealthy agent
Option GATHER is unwise.
Option "Monster Summoning 1/2" aka "HEY BALROG!!" I think no one tried.
	(If anyone did, please post it here, I am curious)
Option SEEK is ok if you're really tough (chall 150+, even then I won't
risk a high chall to a balrog)
Option SEARCH is as unwise as option GATHER
I like the last one personnally
