Deathlord Monster List version 1.0.0

This is the monster information for the Apple and should work for the
Commodore as well.
Please do not reproduce this for profit without my permission. However,
if you ask me by name and for a specific FAQ, I should look relatively
favorably at the FAQ. I don't do this for money, and don't want others
unfairly profiting.

================================
INTRODUCTION
This document tells what various monsters in Deathlord do and how tough
they are to kill. It's not easy to remember but even after solving the
game I was still very curious and hopefully old-school RPG fans will
find this useful too.
MONSTER INFO
LV=level(determines spell and special hit abilities)
HP=hit points(scaled)
AC=10 - armor class
##=maximum number found in combat
A = # of attacks
DMG=damage done(1-x, random)
Ex=experience. Each person gets experience in a battle only if he
performs a useful action(i.e. a Shisai can heal or cast a protect
spell.) He only gets the experience for one monster, which is uniquely
defined as there is only one monster type to fight per combat. I am 95%
sure I've seen instances where you even get experience if you flee or
die.
?=I believe this is relative rarity for random combats in dungeons or
outdoors.
Specialties are abbreviated but SPELLS a monster can cast are in CAPS.
Lower case are what they can do with/in lieu of attacks.
poi=poison
ill=give disease.
slay=lethal hit possibility. This is more likely if the monster is a
higher level or you are a lower level.
stone=turn you to stone.
drain=drain you a level
scream=lethal scream
summon=summon new monsters
In general these are less likely to happen if you're at a higher level.
SPELL STUFF(numbers are my best estimate)
MOTU--paralyzes you
TODO--a spell like the Mahotsukai's. The higher level, the more
fireballs.
L1ZAP--24 damage for level 31
L2ZAP--30 damage for level 31
L3ZAP--40 damage for level 31
L4ZAP--54 damage for level 31
L5ZAP--72 damage for level 31
L6ZAP--94 damage for level 31
L7ZAP--120 damage for level 31
Note that the spells do not correspond to any special spells your
players can learn.

* - note that beholders have 5 different properties. They just wouldn't
fit in a table that would be small enough so I slapped it on at the end.
Also some monsters have the same attributed more than once in the file
data but it doesn't seem to make a huge difference in the odds it will
happen. The order doesn't seem to make a difference(i.e. a monster
casts L4 or L7 zap) either.
HOW I DISCOVERED THIS
I didn't work all this out by hand. In fact I have never seen a Doom
Golem or Safir so there was some guesswork here. Trial and error with
the bytes when next to certain monsters(I copied a lot of disk images
and kept backups) helped me isolate what one byte was for. Of course
some character traits were obvious(undead, casts TODO, summons) and some
monsters such as Stonebrows had low armor class so it was easy to look
for anomalies with them. It was also easy to see stuff like maximum
monsters or number of attacks or damage. The tough part was decoding
where the monsters were. For that I used an exclusive-or search program
on strings such as "EHEMOTH"(the first letter is sometimes corrupted)
and realized the names popped up if everything was XOR'ed with 0x65
hexadecimal. Once I had the monster names I was able to pick through
the rest of the information.
