With an MSN tie breaker, your first hero is a GNOLL UTILITY MAGE

You picked Gnoll as your race, leaving you warm on cold dungeon nights.

You picked Mage as your profession. As a utility mage, you can perform all sorts of useful spells.

You picked the Sound talent. While your Gnoll can hear well, his extra sensitivity can damage him when attacked with sonic attacks.

Name entry commence!
>I'm Gnoll
Or he can name himself.


Would you like to keep this character, or generate another hero from the remaining characteristics?

Size, hunting, arcane

While Gnollage probably does refer to his AGE as a GNOLL, I am declaring it that it no loner shall be, instead being a stat representing how badass of a gnoll he is. I AM 100% GNOLLAGE

hrm, lets roll with it.

His name is Shot.

So I'm Gnoll. I'm a wizard, and everyone takes me without seriousness since I haven't conquered a dungeon yet. This one is pretty good, people come out of it all the time. Unless they try to go to the bottom. But I don't need the bottom right?

Gnoll is always ahead of himself! Here is Gnoll's inventory!

As you can see, I have a couple spells, my robe and staff thingy, some rope, and breads.

I also have some healing and magics potions, even an antidotes (Cuz Gnoll is smart!) But no monies, some little thing stole my wallet. I need to get a new wallet while I'm here.

Gnoll needs to stop confusing his third person. There's nothing at the bottom of the stairs but left or right. You tell Gnoll what to find, and Gnoll will look for it.

>>261016
What does the first spell do? the one with the broom and the phallic symbol? The other is fire, right?

Anyway, get down the stair and try to find a door or some phat leut or something... Try to avoid any Deadly Monster.

>>261153
I think those spells are 'escape' and 'fire'.

In any case, go left.
You need to learn at least one more spell before you go down.

Those are Gnoll's spell categories. He only has one in each so far. The first one is my utility mage spells, and I know a good Polish spell. The other is my fire magics, and I can do a flame puff from my hands. Its really cool and Gnoll will show you some time!

Gnoll underestimated the smell of dead peoples in the dungeon. There's a room that might have the obese instruments required, but it smells like even more dead people. But that might be the dead guf right next to the entryway.

This sounds better. Gnoll picks up the corpse, which doesn't seem so smelly, and Gnoll shakes everything of use out of it. It even had a new wallet!

Gnoll gains:
A wallet with a 50 piece dragon bone!, and some copper and silver coins.

Food to go with. Delicious breadwiches

Gnoll is so happy, he got a new wallet, a big dragon bone, and some of his favorite food ever! Gnoll decides not to get an exorcism after the adventure, and will instead treat the voices out to breadwiches!

Huzzah.

Now, get on with it and enter the dungeon proper.

...Come to think of it, better peek inside first. Make sure that whatever killed that guy isn't there anymore.

Theres a table or something in the room. Take a peek, if there is anything to get, get it.

I have a feeling the entire encounter was a silly thing indeed. The weird person is invisible, and on fire. I manage to get a couple things of metal off of whoever it is.

Gnoll has no clue what the first thing is, it looks like some kind of primitive can opener. The second thing is some kind of gold disc. Gnoll will hold on to both possibly.

Use your rope to tie the lid closed! If it's anything like an alligator, its jaws muscles are only designed for closing quickly, and are relatively weak when it comes to opening them.

Gnoll's inventory is less cluttered, and look at all the new room! Gnoll can see his level now!

"See now? It's alot better to have an extra screen to keep track of instead of trying to compress it to the point you can't see anything half of what 'ja got."

"But why do you help Gnoll in this way?"

"Because the Rat King finds it better when people come out alive, so he can swindle them"

Clever. How will Gnoll thank this royalty?

By offering your services for the purpose of his further swindling of yourself or others. Though without knowing the manner of his swindles it would be difficult to offer anything specific. I'm sure he has a better idea about how to exploit you.

Oh and there is that small bit of coinage I'm sure he'd like. But I think he'd enjoy it more if you bought something from him that is overpriced in his swindling manner than if you just gave it to him.

Offer your utility services. If you could do some magical tidying up I bet he would be happy.

Chat with him in the meantime.

The Rat King sure was happy when Gnoll cleaned up his house-shop-tower-room for him. Gnoll even talked to him and learned all sorts of neat things. Did you know he has a bag with infinite rats in it? Its cool!

Anyways the Rat King let Gnoll go down the left side. He said that by the time heroes are coming up they are in such a hurry they don't bother with all of the treasure around here, so there's plenty to find!

He had a staff almost just like Gnoll's! It was sad tho because that means one of Gnoll's magic class buddies was down there. But the Rat King said that it was found WWAAYY far so it's not so bad!

Sorry Gnoll took so long to clean, he had a lot of dirty things!

Gnoll found some kind of huge bee nest in the wall. There's no bees tho. And there's a TON of honey inside!

Gnoll must ask, why are you so lucky? Are you eating his brains?

That is an amazingly obvious trap. Zap the opening.

Honey and no bees? An opportunity BEGGING to be taken!

Uh. Well. You have a stick. Do what you did with the beehive, but a lot harder on them. And whatever you do, don't not have the heal spell ready.

wait, are they actually fire powered or does there venom just feel like fire? if the latter then flame on actually would work. if not then run.

Even if they aren't actually fire resistant, I'd recommend using melee to conserve mana. If we used spells on everything, we'd run out too soon.
