Introduction
Fifur is a dwarven fighter. She has a pet spider called Nails. Recently she has heard about an evil wizard, who has unleashed devastating magic upon her town, which will kill all the people if it isn't countered soon. The only item capable of restoring peace is held by the evil wizard, who was last seen entering the local dungeons.
Fifur goes to the mayors hall and offers her help to the mayor, but he says that Fifur is too stupid to be of any use. Fifur gets angry and stamps her feet. She decides to ignore him and try to help anyway. She spits on the mayors carpet and walks out.
Fifur has had some basic fighting training and carries leather armour and a club. She visits the merchants in the town and buys a sling for 3 gold pieces, some cherries for 2 gold pieces, some beef jerky for 1 gold piece and a drumstick for 1 gold piece. Fifur likes to eat a lot, so she eats the beef jerky and drumstick immediately. She sells her club and purchases a massive axe to use instead, which pleases her greatly. She equips the axe and puts on her leather armour and enters the dungeons.
She looks round and just sees a long empty corridor. She decides to venture south and sees a giant rat approaching her.
The giant rat squeaks loudly and grinds it's teeth, but it is no match for Fifur's new axe and is killed instantly. Fifur picks up the rat corpse and grins to Nails: "lunch!". Fifur continues along the corridor until she enters a large room. She sees a purple potion, a scroll labelled XYZZY and another giant rat.
Nails and Fifur attack the rat and it is killed before it can even attempt to attack them. Fifur picks up the scroll and potion. She walks a bit further west and finds a scroll labelled RNG and a clear potion. She picks them up as well.
She walks around the rest of the dungeon but doesn't find anything else. Fifur forgets that she is supposed to be saving the people of her town and decides to play hide-and-seek with Nails. Nails runs off and Fifur spends a while trying to find him.
She walks down to the next dungeon and immediately sees a massive red ant, with flames dancing across it's body. Fifur signals to Nails to attack and shouts "Fifur smack you down!!" Before Fifur can reach the ant, Nails quickly crawls over and kills it.
Fifur likes shiny things, so the sparkle of a nearby ruby ring brings a gleam to her eye. She picks it up and puts it on her left finger. Her hand suddenly drops down and she feels like she's carrying boulders. (Burdened). She takes the ring off and throws it on the ground in disgust. She picks up the red ant corpse and continues south. She finds some steps leading down and follows them.
A rat is waiting at the bottom of the steps, so she swings her massive axe in it's direction and shatters it's skull into several large pieces. The massive damage inflicted means the corpse is splattered all over the place. Fifur looks a bit annoyed at the wasted meal, but shrugs and continues on. Fifur finds two bunches of banana's, which she picks up. Fifur also finds lots of scrolls, which she tries to read. Fifur didn't learn to read and write, so she gives up after a while. She decides to drop the other scrolls she had.
Fifur walks around and finds a crossbow, which she shoves in her pack. She finds some more steps down, but decides to look round first. She opens a door and sees a giant rat and something bright in the distance.
She equips her new crossbow and aims at the rat. The arrow completely misses and flies off somewhere. Fifur growls and equips her axe instead. She quickly kills the rat. She looks annoyed and throws the crossbow and her sling onto the dungeon floor. She picks up a candle in a lantern, which allows her to see better (7 squares vision). She finds some coins, but she isn't very good at counting, so can't determine how many there are. She thinks the evil wizard can't be anywhere round here, so looks round for the steps she saw earlier. She gets hopelessly lost, so looks to Nails for help. Nails flicks his front legs up in a "follow me" motion and guides Fifur to the steps. Fifur goes down them and into the next dungeon.
Fifur walks along a long corridor and into a large room with some ruins in the middle. There's no items or creatures around. It's strangely quiet and Fifur begins to get bored.
Fifur continues walking around and sees a giant red ant in the distance. It spits fire towards her, but it misses and only manages to set fire to a load of moss on the dungeon wall. Fifur laughs sarcastically and approaches the ant. It thrusts it's mouth forward and takes a large bite out of Fifur's arm. Fifur is wounded and burnt badly (7/12 health), but Fifur is strong and swings her axe at the ant, killing it in one hit. Fifur continues south and into a long room.
Fifur goes east towards the red trickster. They fight while the red ant approaches.
Fifur kills the trickster, but is badly wounded (5/12 health). She thinks about stopping to eat something and regain her strength, but the ant spits fire in her direction and hits her (2/12 health). She swings her axe at it and it's killed before it can retaliate. She picks up the ant corpse and eats it. She feels like she could touch a burning fire, but would die if she touched an icicle. She sees that the trickster dropped a load of coins, so picks them up and adds them to hers. She eats some banana's to restore her health (5/12 health). She walks around and suddenly the ground opens beneath her and a pit of acid appears, but her reactions are quick and she steps back in time.
She sees a silver ring, but decides to avoid it after she felt so horrible after putting the last ring on. She continues walking around the dungeon and remarks to Nails about how big the dungeon is. After a few minutes Nails sees a red trickster and attacks it. Fifur doesn't want Nails to get hurt, so she pulls him back and attacks the trickster herself. She swings her axe and misses. The trickster hits Fifur and she is killed.
