==Notes==
*The monsters you encounter here are solely determined by your total [[Monster Level]] increasers.
**The extra ML caused by the rain depth during the [[Heavy Rains]] challenge path is '''not''' taken into account to determine the monsters you encounter in this zone.
*To finish the [[Orc Chasm Quest|quest]] on this peak, you must reduce oil pressure by defeating the monsters.  The pressure starts at 310.66 µB/Hg (microbowies per Mercury).
*Wearing [[dress pants]] increases the pressure reduction of each kill by 6.34 µB/Hg.

*When [[Banishing]] a monster in this zone, you will encounter a [[Tumbleweed]] when attempting to fight the Banished monster. However, you can still fight regular monsters if your ML changes to meet a different threshold during the Banish.

==History==
*The revamped [[Orc Chasm Quest|level 9 council quest]], which includes this zone, was introduced on November 14, 2012.
*Prior to [http://forums.kingdomofloathing.com/vb/showpost.php?p=4364834&postcount=29 January 12, 2013], [[Monster Aggravation Devices]] did not affect the types of monsters encountered.
*Initially, the Rabid Dogwood from the [[The Florist Friar's Cottage|Florist Friar]] did not affect which monster was encountered.  This was fixed during May 2013.
