Catacomb of the Ancients
« on: August 18, 2013, 04:18:46 am »

Finally, you had made it. Ahead of you was the Catacomb of the Ancients, a test of skill, intelligence, bravery, and luck.  You open the door, and walk inside. You think to yourself that it's incredible inside, and you can't wait to see what kind of treasure is further in. You WERE thinking that, that is, since a little bit into "treasure" you feel a sharp stab in your foot and the world turns black. You come to some time later, in an odd stone room. On the ground near you is a small satchel, and to the west is a small pile of bones. In the eastern direction, you see a small, stone door.

The basic gimmick of the game is similar to that of Corin's Mystery Massacre, in that you have no idea what the stats do. It's up to you to figure out what they are, and new stats may come into play later.

First things first. Can we feel our class points, and do they manifest as some kind of protrusion on our body?

Secondly, what's in the satchel?

Thirdly, feel the walls for secret doors.

You begin feeling yourself for any Class Points you may have, but turn up empty.
Disappointed by your lack of class-based protrusions, you open the satchel, and find a Class Analyzifier.
Finally, you begin searching for any other door. None, but you do find a dagger. Well, "dagger" is a generous term. It's really just a blunt letter opener.
