Your goal (as a lowly undergraduate) is to gain prestige as a great archaeologist. You'll see your prestige points mounting up in the status window as you explore. You'll gain prestige for covering ground, reaching ever-lower levels, coping successfully with hazards, saving gold, and finding the Sacred Relics of RA.
If you die, you will lose a lot of prestige (though I'm sure you'll be fondly remembered).
If you quit, you will keep all your current prestige (aside from a slight social stigma).
If you escape from the Pyramid with all three relics, you will gain a great bonus in prestige. Your gold will be automatically saved for you, and you'll gain that prestige also.
The top scores are kept in the file named "Dean's List". To erase the list, remove or rename this file.
