... I still believe torches should be 1d2 maces which inflict burning on your enemies.
also: look into backpack and pouch. then characterscreen.

[Zecro_The_Scourge]

Collect the rust (iron oxide) from the sword, if we get alumium powder we can make thermite to burn through a door or something.

[Tarran]

How the heck are we going to collect the rust?

[Blade Master Model 42]

How the heck are we going to collect the rust?

Add to Quest Log: Find sandpaper.

[Zecro_The_Scourge]

^Yes

[Tarran]

Sneak north until something interesting appears.

[hachnslay]

search the borders of the room for secret doors.
This wouldn't be bay 12 if we didn't spend an abnormally long time in the starting room. (who knows what game i am talking about?)

then look at our combat preferences.

[Tarran]

I presume Nethack.

And you've got a point. Do check the borders as long as it doesn't take too long.

Spoiler: Author's Note (click to show/hide)

Updated one of the previous pictures, forgot the lit torch in hand. Also, thoughts on this so far? You like it? Want more descriptive text with each update or is it fine this way?

Spoiler: Command Log (click to show/hide)

You descend the ancient stairs and behold a room lit by four torches. On the far wall you see a door made of stone.

>i

You take inventory of your belongings.

>Drop Letter

>Take Torches

>Put 3 torches in backpack

>Burn Mysterious Letter

The Mysterious Letter which led you here lights easily and burns quickl-

>No wait read the letter!

You attempt to put out the letter but it burns out and leaves only ashes.

>Drop Iron Sword

>Wield Torch

You can only wield weapons.

>Get Sword

>Wield Sword

You hold the sword firmly by the familiar leather grip.

>Go to door

>Look Door

It is a sturdy stone door with recessed hinges. It would be difficult to destroy or force open. Fortunately it does not appear to be locked.

>Look Keyhole

You find no keyhole.

>Go through door

You push on the door, which swings easily open. The hallway beyond is dark and gloomy. The smell reminds you of musty tomes and ancient crypts.

>Remember the words from the letter.

You attempt to recall what the letter said... (Roll 1d20 -> 19)

You're not sure you got every detail exactly correct, but you think most of it is right.

>Think about using torches as a weapon.

You suppose you could swing a torch in combat but it isn't balanced for combat and the flaming end is just burning pitch, not tar or oilcloth. You doubt it would stay lit while swinging it around like that and it would just end up flinging embers and soot all over you.

>Look in backpack and pouch.

>Character Screen

You are a level 1 human fighter with 10hp, 1mp, and 0xp. Your skills are as follows: Fighting 1, Dodging 1, Swords 1, Armor 1, Shields 1.

>Collect rust

You have no way to do that.

>Add quest: Locate sandpaper

Quest Log: 1. Retrieve items of incredible power.
      2. Locate Sandpaper

>Sneak north unt-No actually go search the previous room thoroughly.

Taking several hours you-

>But don't take too long

You take 10 minutes to make a cursory search of the walls and find nothing.

>List combat preferences

Well you prefer using your sword to slice monsters open if that's what you mean... Hey wait, what's that? You find a secret door.

[Tarran]

Open it quickly, hopefully surprising anything inside, but be ready to jump back in case of a trap.

[forsaken1111]

They don't look terribly surprised.

[uubucks1]

Attempt to cut the abdomen off of the closest spider.

[Tarran]

Nah, close the door. We're not equipped well enough or have enough health to deal with giant spiders. In addition we have no anti-venom. Go north instead, maybe we'll find something easier. Those spiders likely aren't going anywhere.
