I recruited him and named him Mephansteras. He has a sack, three candles, a prentice wand, a gray robe, a tunic, shoes, and a magic potion. Pretty standard gear.

[Mephansteras]

Cool. Hopefully I'll be useful before I die!

[zchris13]

Swap out his crap for the better crap that we picked up.

[Mephansteras]

What does the magic potion do? Restore magic points or something?

[inaluct]

We only picked up a better wand. Duke and Meph can have a WIZZARD BATTLE over it, I guess. I don't think you can actually have characters fight each other in this game, though. It'll have to be some sort of forum wizard battle.

Also, yep. That's exactly what the magic potion does.

[Mephansteras]

Nah, Duke was there to get the wand so it should be his. I'll just call dips on the next mage stuff we find.

[deadlycairn]

Oooh, ooh this looks good. I'll even get the game so I have some idea of what's going on.
I'll go on the waiting list as the next priest (seems to be less of those)
Also, how do I get the dudes to pick stuff up? Do I have to do it manually, or will they nab anything worthwhile they see?

[inaluct]

You have to do it manually, with g. < is to remove something from a container, > is to put something in. O is to order your comrades, Y to yell orders, and W to whisper them (I've never really used that. My main file is a group of guys who stomps into dungeons wearing heavy boots and screaming, smashing everything in sight). Tab is to change characters.

[Archangel]

Can I join as a male warrior?

[Xotes]

I can have a rogue, sah? This is a fun game and it's great to see someone LP it.

[inaluct]

Okay, heading back to the dungeon. Also, Meph talked the wizard into teaching us the Blink spell, which requires a magic score of 15 to cast. Meph has a magic score of 14. Duke can learn it, though. Okenido got the priest/gods to teach him a Disarm Traps prayer.

Mages have the advantage of having a group spell library that they can learn spells from. Priests have their own set, none of which can be swapped out.

Okay, the dive:

Killed a carrion crawler:

:I

Also, we found a dead warrior. Emp took his clothes.


And then this happened:

Oh god

Emp, who was leader at the time, yelled for everyone to get out of the level at all costs:

Which they totally did. Leaving him behind.

The spiders caught up to him in the darkness and he killed a few before making it to the stairs with about 40% HP.

Everyone else got like 10 exp:

Emp is a hero, etc

And he gets 2 stat increases!

If he doesn't pick them within a few hours, I'll just take suggestions.

Go with strength and perception.

Also, can you put me on the waiting list for a warrior?

Edit: also, does anybody know where I can get a mac port for this? Or if they could port it or something.
That would be really awesome.

What does each do?

[inaluct]

- A high Strength score gives the character more HP. They do much more
damage with melee weapons, and a bit more damage with missile weapons. They
can also carry heavier loads while still moving at a reasonable speed.

- A high Dexterity score makes the character more likely to hit enemies,
and they do more damage with missile weapons. It also helps them to move
faster and to dodge enemy attacks.

- A high Magic score is essential for Mages and Priests as it gives them
more MP and allows them to cast the more difficult spells. It is also
useful for all characters as it protects them from magical attacks.

- A high Charm score is very useful in town, where it helps you to get good
prices in shops, to recruit new characters, and to get favors from your
friends and teachers.

- A high Stealth score makes it less likely that monsters will notice you.
It is especially helpful if you want to use 'stealth mode' to sneak around
the dungeon.

- A high Perception score is useful for noticing traps, secret doors, and
stealthy monsters in the dungeon. It also lets you see further and even see
a short distance in the dark. Essential for archery at long range, too.

Bring dex up.
Hitting enemies is good.
