Wight House "Wight lairs are usually cramped, dark places where the wights can pick off enemies one by one, leisurely draining their life energy and turning them against their former comrades as newly reborn wight spawn. Narrow passages hamper weapon-using intruders and favor unarmed wights. These cunning undead use their knowledge of their lair's layout, along with secret doors and passages, to spring close-quarters attacks without having to advance under fire from spellcasters or ranged weapons. Labyrinths of short passages allow a pack of wights to surround intruders and attack from all sides, their Hide and Move Silently skills affording them a high chance of surprising interlopers. Cleverly employed shifting walls and pits dropping to lower levels are also frequently used to confuse and disorient outsiders" (p. 63). Davis, Graeme. "The Ecology of the Wight." Dragon Magazine.
