reappear after 30 seconds, killing yourself subtracts from your score, and negative scores are
possible.

level.
Respawn Monsters: Monsters will remain dead for around eight seconds, then return with a
vengeance. This is standard behavior for the Nightmare skill level.

monsters can be an unwanted distraction.
