I assume you are familiar with this: http://mochakimono.chipx86.com/agen2.html

Welcome to the Mansion of Magic!
Well, here's how it will work. You are all fledgling mazes, and it is time for you to pass your entrance exam and become proper initiates.

The task is simple - simply survive the night in Colonels house (where he lives), and come morning you will be full fledged initiates!

There are 8 mages, and the house is composed of nine rooms, 8 smaller rooms arrayed around a larger central hall. Some of the rooms lead into other rooms, some do not, many contain special items or terrible traps.
The rooms will be numbered 1-8 for the peripheral rooms, and the main room will simply be called the central hallway.

But wait - there's more!

To help you survive the night, each of you have been given a basic wand and a Power Ring. Since you've got no magical skill of your own yet, the Power Rings you collect will boost your spell casting ability, while the wands will provide you with a spell. You will get to choose your wand.

To cast a spell from a wand, we'll simply roll 1d6, and add the number of rings you're wearing. If you beat a six, you win! The spell goes off. If you /don't/, you get a random magic effect! (Note, there may be other ways to get random magic effects through the mansion).

Your starting status is:
One magical wand (your choice)
One Ring of Power
6/6 health
A simple robe, your choice of colour.
A trinket from the Shiny Thing Generator: http://mochakimono.chipx86.com/AGENgemV2.html (I'll trust you on this one, since the effect will be up to me anyway, if it has one)

There are 8 wands available to you, and they will be distributed on a first come, first serve basis. The wands are:
Wand of Fireball : Sets everyone in this or an adjacent room on fire. Fire deals two damage per turn until it is put out, which takes a turn to do. Things in the room may continue burning for longer.
Wand of Enchantment : Lets you apply any found enchantments to a Shiny Thing, or move enchantments from one Shiny Thing to another, or permanently attach a wand spell as an enchantment for a Shiny Thing (effects may be different than the effects of the wand)
Wand of Mad Healz : Fully heal a player.
Wand of Shrink : Make target small. May not work against all targets. Temporary.
Wand of Teleport : Immediately move to another room of your choice.
Wand of Surprises : It's a surprise!
Wand of Killing : Deals three damage to target.
Wand of Magical Miscasts : Target suffers (or benefits from) the effects of the random magic generator.

You can cast spells against those in the same room, or those in an adjacent room when the doors between the rooms are open.

But you will learn more of the layout when you get inside... for now, make your doods and claim your wands!

Wand of Mad Healz
One Ring of Power
6/6 health
A simple robe, your choice of colour: White
A trinket from the Shiny Thing Generator: A katana made of white metal. (serious)

>That is horrible and disgusting. It will no doubt set you apart and create fear in your team mates. So of course.

Someone already has a white robe and other person has the Wand of Surprises.

The only one available is the Wand of Fireball.

The eight of you step into the mansion. As you do, the lights dim, and a voice crackles through the air.

"Hey there, kids! This is Brock Richards speaking. The Colonel is currently away, so he's volunteered his dwelling for this challenge. But beware! It is not the safest place to spend the night. The only thing you need to do is survive until morning. That shouldn't be too hard, right? Good luck!

Just to note - leave the mansion early, and you will be immediately disqualified. And perhaps liquefied. I can't make any promises."

And then the voice is silent.

If you survive for 30 turns, you will be victorious, gaining membership in the mages guild. You will also be allowed to keep any of the loot you collect in the process. The only rule is that you do not leave the premises.

Behind you are the massive doors you entered through. Each of the several doors has an icon on a plaque hanging on the door. To your left is a door with a bag of salt on it, to your right a jar of oil. In the center of the room is a large stairway ascending to the second story, and to the right and left of it (on the same floor), two more doors - one with haunch of meat, one with a piece of broccoli. The stairs go up until they reach the wall, where there's an enormous painting of the Colonel, resplendant in his silver armor, the sun shining behind him, in a lush jungle scene. The stairs then split and climb to the left and right, and it looks like there's a door against the same wall at the top of each. There's balconys that double back, creating a walkway surrounding the entire room above your head, and you assume there are two more doors up there as well.

What do you do?
