a rogue's tale
I've been playing this game since ... I never got the amulet, I don't
know if I've ever been under level 20. Seeing people rack up relatively
infinite scores recently inspired me to new heights. It had to be convincing
a nymph to steal a cursed ring and becoming immortal. It took forever to pick
up a ring. Cursed rings were more scarce than three handed swords. And trying
to find a willing nymph. Meanwhile I'm getting killed on level 5 by
hobgoblins. Tonite I finally put it all together. I was on level 15, I had
a -1 ring of dexterity in my pack. I entered a dark room and there in front
of me was the nymph. I quickly ran back into the tunnel. Slowly I dropped
each possession as I walked towards the temple that would bestow immorality
upon me. Saving my sword and armor least I be ambushed at the threshold I
entered the room. Two squares lay between me and the nymph. I dropped my
armor and stepped forward, Soon I would know for sure. I placed my mace
carefully on the floor. I stood naked but for the cursed ring. Immortality?!
I moved forward to attack the nymph. CRASH!! I had fallen through a trapdoor...
