   * If you don't get rescued, you need to either pop a Chronosphere or wait for a New Day. If you're on an Outpost level, you'll get spat out there. If you're not, it'll pop you one floor up instead, and you'll need to wait or use a Chronosphere again, & rinse and repeat until you reach an Outpost level and get ejected there.
-  * Apologies to hermits, but if you intend to hang out Down Below for more than short periods, a full Clan Buff is really useful - it gives you automatic healing, along with other things. Starting a Clan of your own is an option, but a serious undertaking that costs a //serious// amount of cigs.((I thought it was a few thousand, but have since been informed it's maybe as much as 14,875 cigarettes for a full Clan Buff. Make your choices accordingly.)) Joining an established Clan for the buff is pretty normal, though some have social or story requirements, or want players to donate cigarettes towards the buff or Membership Cap. Feel free to ask about open Clans in Banter, or check the list of established Clans to try to find an active one.

   * Standard advice applies: watch your Stamina so you're not fighting or travelling while exhausted. Using Monster Repellent Spray on yourself before you go makes FoeBots hit less hard, as does using a scary weapon like a Dentist's Drill - though you don't unlock that until a certain number of DKs. Carrying Medkits or Smile Drops (which are more useful for those with higher HP) lets you heal once you're down there. Targeted fighting is your friend. Jokers, mind your day's stats!

 If you have any questions beyond this, please go ahead and ask them in Banter - or if that doesn't net you an answer, tack them on the end here and you might get lucky. Good luck down there!
