Mall
The Mall is a special level that appears in SLASH'EM and SlashTHEM. It contains many shops and various animals as well as a watch, much like Minetown.
Generation
The Mall has a 3⁄4 chance to be generated, and will be located on levels 5 or 6 of the Dungeons of Doom.
The floor consists of a normal room-and-corridor level with four normal rooms and a large shopping-area room.
Maps
There are two possible maps for the layout of the main shopping area.[1][2] Both versions populate the mall with four watchmen, three watch captains, four muggers, and two sewer rats; the first variant will also have a kitten, while the second will have a little dog.
Both maps for the main room have the same chance to generated each type of shop:
- 100% chance of a general store
- 20% chance of a tool shop
- 40% chance of a food shop
- 20% chance of a scroll shop
- 30% chance of a potion shop
- 12% chance of a ring shop
- 33% chance of a lighting shop
- 12% chance of a book shop
- 17% chance of a wand shop
- 20% chance of a weapon shop
- 22% chance of an armor shop
