You find yourself in a narrow oubliette. You notice a small shrine to callan.

[altariel]

You find yourself in a moss-covered tunnel. Bones are scattered in the shape of brendan kennelly.

You are walking through a sloping fountain room. Across one wall is a faded fresco of fairport convention.

You find yourself in an enormous library. Dusty bookshelves are dedicated to george smiley, the obsidian order and star cops. Katlinel the fire elemental guards the southern exit.

In the dead hand of an earlier adventurer is the Axe of Chris Boucher.

You quaff the potion marked 'DYSTOPIAS'. It tastes foul.

Oh, I want the Axe of Chris Boucher!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

There was a sign warning about him in another chamber. Also I drank a potion marked 'IAINJCOLEMAN' and it tasted foul.

[iainjcoleman.livejournal.com]

Don't say you weren't warned.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

oooh, it's tasty!

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

I heard the sound of Chris Boucher in the distance. And later I found his wand and zapped most of you with it.

You're right, it's the set that really makes this game. I repeatedly stumbled across the altar to Chickenfeet2003, prayed to Chickenfeet 2003, and nothing happened, except one time when I felt blessed. But how could I not feel blessed when I was surrounded by bones are scattered in the shape of Life on Mars, a wooden sign warning of washing up, a chiselled epitaph to socialism, a mosaic floor showing Thomas Wyatt, a damp laboratory with scrolls about Redemption '07 pinned to the walls, and a faded fresco of Dan Dority?

I eventually got burned up by a scroll of UST. Which was annoying, because I thought that was just the sort of thing the Shield of Doomed Love should have protected me against.

I heard the sound of daleks at one point, so I legged it.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

I was pretty pleased to pick up the Axe of Hunt/Tyler, though!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

LOL!

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

I think it's very good for grinding.

[rcfinch.livejournal.com]

Ah. I was wondering where my axe had gone. But when I entered your Dungeon, I got it back pretty soon.
(BTW, it *is* addictive.)

[altariel.livejournal.com]

;-D I took good care of it.

[kerravonsen]

Hmm, I want to know what the Amulet of Wordcount does! Magically mark progress in fic writing? Or perhaps it aids progress in fic writing!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Hmm, given the amount of time I've spent playing this morning, I think it averts wordcount.

[glitterboy1.livejournal.com]

As soon as I've finished this bit of work, I'm going to go and explore my own dungeon.

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

I went there! You have bones in the shape of chocolate.

[glitterboy1.livejournal.com]

Maybe that's what they mean, when they say, 'You are what you eat.'

[kalypso-v.livejournal.com]

I could understand it if your bones were made of chocolate. But the shape of chocolate? Them's odd bones.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I did quite well looting your dungeon:

I escaped from the Dungeon of Glitterboy1!

I killed Hfnuala the mind flayer, Le Espiegle the gelatinous cube and Seriouspenguin the kobold.

I looted the Shield of Bafleyanne, the Armour of Oddcellist, the Axe of Alicamel, the Crown of Del2, the Crown of Dramaqueen 23, a Figurine of Zoje George, the Axe of Btvs and 120 gold pieces.

You seem to be better at my dungeon than I am!

[altariel.livejournal.com]

I suspect you hold back from hitting your friends list with axes.

[glitterboy1.livejournal.com]

That's true. But the Wand of Hafren seems to make them look healthier; perhaps I should use it more often.

[forodwaith.livejournal.com]

You quaff the potion marked 'DYSTOPIAS'. It tastes foul.

Durr.

I'd like the Axe of Eowyn, though.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I was a bit dim drinking that one.

Lovely icon!

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

I had a quick look in your dungeon before the site got too busy for me to play (waah!) and heard the sound of faramir in the distance, and then there was DOOMED LOVE. Woe!

Katlinel the fire elemental guards the southern exit.

"'Ello, 'ello, ello, where do you think you're going, sunshine?"

Also, this was a better use of time in terms of its ultimate benefit to humanity than anything I did today.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

the sound of faramir in the distance, and then there was DOOMED LOVE. Woe!

But in an angsty, dark-haired and cerebral way!

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

Oh totally!

That was a yayful "Doomed Love. Woe!"

[altariel.livejournal.com]

We're all about the yay-woe!

[katlinel.livejournal.com]

And before I got cookie'd out of your dungeon, there was some graffiti about Eowyn too.

[altariel.livejournal.com]

EOwiNN R0xx!

I can't get thru my dungeon...the !@#!@# altar is behind a trap door, and without that, I can't get the hitpoints needed to wipe out the baddies:(

[altariel.livejournal.com]

:-( You're very welcome to loot my dungeon!

[ithilwen.livejournal.com]

I seem to remember playing this game back when I was in college (but our version certainly didn't have a Dr. Porn figurine, more's the pity...)
