[QUOTE="MarkB, post: 7540570, member: 40176"] [B]The Early Birds[/B] Ever notice how dungeons come well stocked with useful magic items, and how everything in the dungeon still works even though there were stories of heroes who tried to get through it before? You are those guys, and it's your job to make sure everything's in place for when the real heroes come through. You start out with loads of magic items and an entire apothecary store's worth of potions. However, consuming any expendable resource carries serious XP penatlies. You gain XP for: [LIST] [*]Bypassing traps without triggering or otherwise marking them, or for resetting them after you pass. [*]Dropping or discarding magical items or potions, especially in obscure locations. [*]Sneaking past groups of enemies without killing them. [*]Having a party member die, and then leaving them in place without looting the corpse. [/LIST] The end goal is to reach the final dungeon boss, confront them, and be slaughtered like chumps. Preferably as close to the entrance as possible so that your corpses are visible from outside the door. [/QUOTE]
