Hehe, my survivor is level 18 and still haven't finished the vampire cave <img src="/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/winkwink.gif" alt="" />. I guess it all depends on your level. If you do everything slowly (finishing all the quests and cleaning out small areas) then you should have enough experience/skills to not need scorpions in a fight. I do use them sometimes when I get swarmed by tough creatures.
