Lvl 25? Do you use mods?
*20, sorry. No, I do not.
What I gather from everyone’s (helpful, thank you) responses is that once a purge spawns at such a close radius, defense mobs enter the picture and it’s all over from there. And no, I can not/do not want to imagine what this would look like with a lvl 10 purge 
I am reconsidering build locations, construct and size based on all of this information and plan to come more prepared next time.
So make sure to give your own distance for personal defense with just one thrall…
Do I understand correctly that this means you can place a thrall at a certain distance from your purge base to determine how far away the camp will spawn? I.e., the further away that thrall is, the further the camp will spawn (within limitations)?
