Converting Old MERP scale

Heya! I'm a massive fan of reading the Old MERP books, and especially look to their amazing maps for inspiration and guidelines for making my own maps.
I've recently building a tower based on a old MERP map, and it occurs to me, I don't know how the scales compare to the more currently popular 5ft square grid.

The scale bar has two segments are is marked as 15' which I assume is inches. I'm not sure how that compares in gaming feet.

Insane Luck, Now how to Prepare for Cursed City and Tower?

In my recent surge of activity in Raid, I've managed to get what I assuming is mathematically insane luck as I've recently nabbed Rector Drath, Geomancer & Uugo, who I understand are pretty great champions and have been my focus.

I've recently done a purge after expending my Ancient Shards for Uugo (shockly only 20 shards) but now I request guidance on what to do. I just unlocked Cursed City and its kicking my arse hard, and am now trying to get some real set teams together for Doom Tower and Hydra outside of just running my tops.

I'm unfamiliar with set builds, so any advise would be helpful.

Random Thoughts on Rewatch

Im watching Iron Lung for the second (of what i can tell will be many) time and been casually browsing comments on it along with my own thought.

I like the idea that the Eye, or this Outside God, looked into our reality and due to its limited scope Into it unintentionally reshaped it to be as limited as it's own understanding (The Quiet Rapture)

On my first watch i remember being curious why when Simon sees it, the pendant (which i know fully realise is a seed) was holding him back.

I think the Eye became curious at seeing Simon, and more importantly the Seed, as it didn't know Life was a thing.

Now it knows there more there to know, and it's curiosity is doubled (Imagine an Ant with a lighter, enough to get you to pay attention)

I think it's pushing to learn more, and maybe widen it's scope of understanding but as seen in the ending, there is a discount as Simon and the Seed becomes one- maybe it can't distinguish them as separate life.

I think there is hope that the Eye will fully observe reality (maybe able to view what it before it's open limiting) and return it properly. I don't think it's evil, just ignorant and too big.

There's the hope, but more likely even if it does return life, and the stars, itll be like Simon- something fundamental new.

P.S I was really wondering why it says "Agreed" and I wonder if it's agree to keep Simon alive (in a new form) in exchange for seeing more

This are my random thoughts, might be completely nonsense or spelled out in the movie.
