I suppose that the lack of a good word for "dungeon" might be due to the lack of a tendency to imprison in the middle ages in Russia rather than just roughly dismembering.

Ah, as much as the hongstick amuses me, THIS is a worthy quote. :)
 

New words-

Archer, Spell, Fireball, Mount (the noun, not the verb), Dwarf, Elf, Halfling, Orc, Armor.

This is cool, thanks. :)

In German

Dungeon: Gewölbe / Dungeon
Dragon: Drache
Fighter: Kämpfer
Wizard: Zauberer
Rogue: Schurke
Cleric: Kleriker
Evil: Böse
Good: Gutl
Combat: Nahkampf
Sword: Schert

"Dungeon" seems to be imported, because "Verlies" and "Kerker" are more for "Prison". Also, for "Wizard" the term "Magier", the German equivalent to "Mage", is possible. Otherwise, there are two spelling errors: "Gutl" is correctly spelled "Gut", like "Schert" is actually "Schwert". "Nahkampf" is probably more "Melee" than "Combat".

I don't remember "Dungeon" being a German word, but if you say so...
"Gewölbe" is fine by me, but still: "Verlies" or "Kerker" is what the dictionary says (IIRC).

Good: Gutl
You're Bavarian, right? ;)


Combat: Nahkampf
"Melee" is "Nahkampf". "Combat" is a general term.


Sword: Schert
We agree here, typo not withstanding ;)
