    Use:  As a logical puzzle (or combat - the Lorax), the same monster has to
be killed so many times before another event happens.  As Drizzt says, its not
real complicated, but the variations are almost endless.

    Setup:  The regenerating monster is type 200 with the monster ability of
Death Calls Scenario Special (100 in this case).  SDF 1,0 controls the
regenerating process (if 1 it stops).  Select three places for the regenerated
monsters to appear - X1,Y1, X2,Y2, and X3,Y3.

    Scenario node sequence:

100  Stuff Done Equal? - 1,0, 1A= 1 goto 109
101  Play a Sound - 1A= 25 Cast mage spell (or whatever sound you like)
102  Display Small Message - "Another XXXXX appears."
103  Random Number? - < 1A= 33 goto 104, else jump to 105
104    Place a Monster - 1A= X1, 1B= Y1, 2A= 200, 2B= 1 force, jump to 108
105    Random Number? - < 1A= 50 goto 106, else jump to 107
106      Place a Monster - 1A= X2, 1B= Y2, 2A= 200, 2B= 1 force, jump to 108
107      Place a Monster - 1A= X3, 1B= Y3, 2A= 200, 2B= 1 force, jump to 108
108  One Time Text Message - "As soon as you kill the XXXXX, another appears
       in the room to take its place.  This could be a long battle.", -1
109  One Time Text Message - "This time, when the XXXXX dies, nothing happens.", -1

    What it does:  When one of these creatures, monster #200, is killed, a new
one is placed in equally weighted random locations X1,Y1, X2,Y2, or X3,Y3.
This could go on indefinately, until SDF 1,0 is set to 1, then the creature
will simply die and won't be replaced.

    There are many ways the SDF could be set, like killing a certain boss
creature (whose life SDF (SDF 1,0) is set to 1), using a special item, after a
town timer expires, going through a certain passage, etc.
