You Are the Rogue
Your quest is to fight your way through the Dungeons of Doom and return
with the fabled Amulet of Yendor (or die trying). For protection, you have
been given armor, an enchanted mace, a bow, and a quiver filled with arrows. At the beginning of your journey you have food to last you one meal.
In the dungeons you will find more food and weapons left behind by previous unlucky seekers. As you descend, search out these hidden treasures,
gold pieces, and magical potions to help you in your ultimate search—the
quest for the Amulet. But be prepared for the many monsters that will
make your journey challenging. As you proceed through each journey you
will be ranked on your quest. Return triumphant and enter the highest
ranks of the Guildmaster’s Hall Of Fame.
