Spent 20 minutes trying to catch these fuckers
There were 2-3 more off screen for, plus 2-3 evil eyes. Swarm challenge goes brrr.
I had level 7 plate armour with a stone enchantment, a level 8 vampiric great shield, and a runic blade.
While I could smash them if I caught them, I didn't have much to charge up runic blade on so the process was slow. Couldn't bait them to the doors because the room beyond was huge and they would run off.
Wand of fire works well.
Mixing potions of Paralysis and Toxic holds and poisons them.
A stone of Aggression to make them attack each other.
It's tough when they don't come to the door.
One strategy of mine lately has been to stockpile potions of mind vision and scrolls of psionic blast for the lower demon halls depths for times when the scorpions and evil eyes are being oppressive.
I try to save a couple for the ascent too.
