Dungeons of Doom (recruiting)

[Kyrian]

Alright then. Hmm...

Items:

1)Renegade (previous mentioned sword)
2)Marauders Map (is this allowed? :P )
3)Shades of Nightvision. (Sunglasses, give Drow-like nightvision)

[pingcode20]

Meh. I anticipate my death by loss of my ring of teleport control.

That, or in a blaze of glory by Blessed Genocide of all '@' (Human or Elf). And promptly get whomped in the afterlife.

[Aegeus]

You're in the wrong Dungeons of Doom there, pal. These dungeons are considerably more doom-filled, and there's no Amulet of Yendor.

[pingcode20]

Bleh - I took my gear from Nethack. I figure blessed genocide will serve as good leverage should I need to use it.

[Altharis]

Any room?

Items:
1. Regal Scepter of Walrus Summoning and Controlling! (Functions as a +5 Frost Burst Clouting Heavy mace as well!)
2. Jarlsberg, Awesome Walrus steed of Awesomeness! (Spews up as a Robe of Useful ((yet vaguely walrus-related)) Items)
3. Crown of Final Walrification! (When he dies, a few minor, walrus related, changes to the game will take effect. ((Just cosmetic changes, nothing too big.)) )

any problems?

[HyramGraff]

Let's see what we got...

Hyram Graff: Same as for Rumda. And I am not familiar with it, so I would need explanation what the si is.

This snippet explaining the orgin of the si is taken from http://www.adom.de/adom/readme1st.php3

V.F. What's a 'si'?
===================

No comment on the details. But it rhymes with "see" when pronounced.

If you are interested in how it got into the game, here we go:
Quite a number of years ago (that must have been around 1985 or so)
I played a lot of AD&D with a friend. We had two characters,
dwarven fighter/thieves of LN alignment named Gorko Galgenstrick and
Groron Garman respectively, who lived through many many adventures.
One day my friend looked at the character sheet of his character,
Groron Garman, and discovered garbled writing in his list of normal
items stating that he owned a "Si". We had no idea what that could
be and how it got there and we were pretty puzzled but left it that way,
making occasional comments about Groron's mighty artifact, the Si.
Months later my friend again was revising the list of normal items
his character lugged around and noticed the word "Si" in a second
place on the equipment list. Now we were really puzzled and declared
this item to be an artifact with unknown powers. The 'Si' in ADOM
is just a kind of insider joke on my behalf to celebrate those great
old days :-)

ADOM is a rougelike game. In the game the Si (strange item before identification) is an artifact that replicates but is otherwise fairly useless. Because it is an artifact it cannot be destroyed. Any Si that is left on the ground will be returned to your inventory before you leave a dungeon level. Eventually you will accumulate so many that your character will be burdened, even to the point of becoming unable to walk. The only way to be rid of a Si is to sell it to a merchant or to sacrafice it on an altar. (You might be able to give them away but I've never tried that.) It can be used as a weapon (+0 to hit 1d4 damage) but then everything in ADOM can be used as a weapon, even gold coins.

[pingcode20]

Well, seeing as how the power creep is increasing, I combined my last two items and added a new one.

Go exceptionally thorough version of Mord's Disjunction!

[Silkenfist]

Kyrian: Works for me. But why would you want a map of Hogwarts? Anyway, the Marauder's Map for the Dungeons of Doom will be banned.

Altharis: Walrus-flavor is OK, but I must urge you to state the function of your items before the start of the game. What exactly are the walrus-related items and what exactly are the walrus-related changed to happen after your demise?

Hyram Graff: Si is approved.

pingcode: *Shrug* Approved

[Altharis]

The walrus realated items are just like a Robe of Useful Item's items, except walrus flavored. Example: 50 foot of walrus-whisker rope, a ten foot walrus tusk pole etc.etc.

The changes I will think about, and PM you with them. Example: The next 10 rooms must feature a walrus, all the players are walruses for a room etc. etc.

[Kyrian]

Because....I got to know where Hermione is at.... ;P

[Jazzman]

Because....I got to know where Hermione is at.... ;P

I'm.....not sure how to respond to that.....

[Akaziel]

Because....I got to know where Hermione is at.... ;P

Uh....... 'kay...

[pingcode20]

Because....I got to know where Hermione is at.... ;P

...

...

...

...Oooookay... moving on then...

[Castaras]

Because....I got to know where Hermione is at.... ;P

I think someone's got a crush...

[Silkenfist]

Very...disturbing. Later today I will compile your lists and rewrite critical items to be appropriate for the dungeon. Tomorrow the dying will begin.

[DarkLightDragon]

*makes a last-minute change*

[Kyrian]

w00t! Five replies to that comment.

[Thes Hunter]

I'm IN!


My Items:

- Ultra great big huge sword of extra damage ++ (I gotta play my character) (( Bah, fighters can deal without their weapons ))
- A Towel (Large, thick and embrassingly brightly coloured)
- A Swiss army knife (with standard set of tools found here. )
- an empty bucket

[Kyrian]

Fine...I'll remove the map...for bracers of Strength +5

[Castaras]

- A Towel (Large, thick and embrassingly brightly coloured)

Yay! Someone who knows where their towel is!

[Silkenfist]

- A Swiss army knife (with standard set of tools found here. )

Okay...but you know that the lifetime warranty doesn't refer to you, right?

Kyrian: OK. Since there are no numbers, the gauntlets will grant you a lot of leverage if you attempt solutions based on strength.

[Kyrian]

Yay, that works.

[Deckmaster]

I changed my mind again. Back to the scimitar. I'll use a big sword next time you do one of these.

[MaggieTheCat]

Okay...let's see. I will take...

A tanglefoot bag
A smokestick
An everburning torch

... I played D&D for the first time in over a year recently, and re-discovered some of the cool stuff alchemy can do. Check here for details...

[Case]

Alright I changed mine a bit. Traded off the mallet for a shovel.

[Akaziel]

In an anti-magic room, can wands/staffs be used as melee weapons? If they can, expect a lot of eye-poking.

[Castaras]

I've just noticed...Has anyone chosen clothing as one of their three items?

Or is clothing an item you automatically get?

[Kyrian]

Nope, I'm going total commando....

[pendell]

I want in (though I may back out if the time committment is too large)

My items:

1) A ten-foot pole.
C'mon! Every party should have a ten-foot pole!
2) A set of thieves' tools such as picklocks.
3) A tame housecat as familiar which can be used as a scout.

I think I wanna be the party trap-monkey. Lord knows we've got enough anti-monster firepower already at our disposal.

We haven't discussed skills .. but if we had them I would want my character to be maxed out in Rogue-type skills, with maybe a rank in fighter and magic-user to allow basic abilities in those classes.

Respectfully,

Brian P.

[Gnome Barbarian]

If I can still get in..Im in

1. Staff of Greater Mirror Image(Unlimited Usage)
2. Cloak of Displacement
3. Decanter of Endless Water
