Chapter 10: Caverns of Chaos III

Strange smell! This indicates a special item on this floor.

Found a new axe that's better than my shitty old one! This kickass weapon ignores enemy PV completely.

Y
Flesh golem
Threat Level: 3/10
Special: N/A
Corpse: N/A

S
Giant spider
Threat Level: 3/10
Special: Poison
Corpse: Poison, poison resistance

Poison! This would have been a serious problem in the past.

However, now, I know the Slow Poison spell! I can dilute it to the point that it's harmless.

FIREBALL TRAP

My holy symbol!

Found it!

Now, gotta be careful here.

The strange item always spawns on top of a trap, so it's best to kick it out of the way.

The secret door is trapped!

Well... I don't have any way to bypass it... OR DO I?

I have two wands of knocking! Unlock any door, disarm any door trap!

NEXT FLOOR

It's very imperative I reach a certain place, so I'm going on ahead!

...efficiently. In the distance, beautiful stone buildings are scattered throughout the cavern. The workmanship is obviously of dwarven origin.
You seem to have entered an ancient dwarven city!

Dwarftown
An ancient dwarven city
Threat Level: 0/5

General shop! Now I can catch up on my rapidly decaying equipment.

m
Mimic
Threat Level: 4/10
Special: Mimicry, paralysis
Corpse: N/A

Mimics appear to be a random item until you get close to them. There is nearly always one in this shop.

The only real interesting item is this one - the rest is crap and spellbooks for bad spells.

Let's sell stuff!

Selling is simple - I drop an item in the store, and Waldenbrook offers me a price for it.

Looking for more things to sell... wait a minute.

TWO strange items?

Well, I'll sell one for now.

Total earnings from my sold items are a couple grand - I just barely pull a profit after the ring.

For non-chaotics, there is a guaranteed-aligned altar in this town! Time to make use of it.

The dwarven gods are very fond of gold sacrifice. Since gold is already one of the best ways to earn piety, this is a good thing.

I now have Lucky, which should help to lessen the effects of Cursed.

Another use of altars: Turning water into holy water! Now I can bless almost anything.

Now for what I'm really here for!

QUESTS.

Sup, Thrundarr!

GIVE ME QUEST.

This is one of the most potentially annoying quests in the game, as the monster assigned is COMPLETELY RANDOM.

I think I can work with this one, though.

To the surface!

The best way to handle a displacer beast is to not give it the opportunity to dodge.

BRAVE THE SINGLE TILE OF WATER AGAIN

Remember how spells have finite castings? This is a way around it!

You can cast directly from the spellbook, if you are carrying it. This costs more PP and takes more time, but it doesn't reduce castings and it trains mana.
