~Objectives:
~ Like life itself, this game has no single simple object. It could be said
that survival is the objective, but even that is not always the case. More often
than not, you will set out on an expedition with the intent to reach a certain
level of the dungeon and then return to the town. This would be the object for
that expedition. Perhaps when you are level-drained by a wraith, you will set
out on a wraith killing mission. That is an objective.
~ Experience makes a character more powerful. This means more spells points,
more health points, and other good things. The quest for experience is a key
part of this game. Experience is obtained by killing monsters, but only takes
effect after you stay at an Inn.
~ The game involves a process of equipping, fighting, exploring, and healing.
New characters have only a knife and no money, so equipping is not yet possible.
A good start is to find the stairs down and go kill some monsters (piece of
cake!). Then, with the treasure you find, you might be able to buy a cure, or
maybe even a sword or some armor.
~ You must keep an eye on your health points. When your Health Points drop
below zero, your character dies, and that doesn't feel good. Each time a
monster hits you, your health points will go down. There are several ways that
you can regain your health points:
MORE (Hit any key)
~Ways to get cured:
~ Get a cure or a heal at the temple (Expensive)
~ Throw a cure or a heal on yourself (Wizards or very experienced fighters)
~ Stay at an Inn (Very slow healing)
~ Find rings of regeneration (Great if you can find one)
~ A typical expedition goes as follows:
~1) Enter the Dungeon and kill monsters.
~2) Leave the Dungeon and cash in treasure at the bank.
~3) Sleep at an inn to regain spell points and see if your character becomes
higher level (you must have about 250 experience points to become 1'st
level).
~4) Get cured at the temple.
~5) Buy new weapons with any extra money.
~6) Go back in and try out your new stuff on some more powerful monsters.
~ The most exciting goal is to find the fountain of youth on the 70'th level.
This fountain will regenerate your character, allowing him to become more
powerful than ever before. Reaching the fountain will be no easy task and may
take months of play. But if you are very clever, you will find a way.
