  • It depends on your distance. He won’t let you get within a few spaces of him so if you’re close enough he will burn a turn to move further away and won’t shoot at you. When he follows you back through the door you get a free hit because he will use his turn to escape back through the door and won’t attack. You still get to hit him first because it’s a surprise attack when he comes through the door. Follow him as soon as he retreats and he’ll still be close enough that he’ll run and won’t attack. Then you retreat without attacking and he’ll follow to find out where you went.

    Sometimes he won’t follow back through but he does more often than not.

    Nope. He won’t shoot you when you come through a door after him. He’ll use a turn to move away. Then when you retreat he’ll pursue you back through the door most of the time. It does help if you’re pretty close when following him. He might shoot at you if he’s far enough away, but that’s part of managing the fight.

    Done properly you can kill him without taking a hit.

    Follow him to a door then retreat back behind the door after peaking through. The trickster will probably follow you back through the door and you can surprise attack. Repeat.

    If the trickster doesn’t follow you after however many turns it would take him to get back to the door then persue to the next door. He should not attack as long as he has to run away so he might get a couple of hits in if you lag too far behind.

    This works with scorpions in the demon halls as well. Does not work with bandits.
