Your Fame

Unlocks

Rising in fame level will unlock more game features. Here is what awaits the dedicated dungeoneer.

• 

  Haste Scrolls

  1

  When the village scribe was told to make haste, he took it literally.

  Haste scrolls allow you to take an extra action on your turn.
• 

  Feats

  2

  A minstrel haplessly wandered into the village. He sang of fantastic feats of combat. It was inspiring.

  When you trigger a feat, you get a free turn that includes an extra move and attack bonuses. Feats are triggered by exceptionally high dice rolls or strong attacks.
• 

  Flame Scrolls

  3

  In an effort to reduce village combustibility, flasks of oil have been outlawed. Fortunately there's a magical alternative.

  Flame scrolls allow you to block an empty space with magical fire and can be used offensively against certain monsters.
• 

  Vanish Scrolls

  4

  "Where did I put that parchment?" muttered the village mage. "I don't see it anywhere."

  Use vanish scrolls to enter a magically enhanced stealth mode.
• 

  Cavern Crawlers

  5

  Little Billy had to release his pet caterpillar. His father explained, "That thing never stopped eating ... or growing."

  Cavern crawlers roam the caverns, randomly entering rooms. Their goal is to reach the other side, but will attack anything along the way.
• 

  Throne of the Lich Queen

  6

  A bard sings a tale of adventurers entering horror-filled tomb, driving off an evil lich. No one knows where the lich went.

  The Lich Queen is a powerful undead sorceress. She sits on her throne deep in the ruins, guarding an exceptional weapon.
• 

  Bolt Scrolls

  7

  "Careful where you point that," warns the village mage.

  Cast a bolt of lightning, a d10+10 attack against everything along a straight line of tiles.
• 

  Caverns Tunnel

  8

  A village boy asks if you ever get to slide down steep tunnels.

  A one-way tunnel will lead from the caverns to an unknown location in the mines below.
• 

  Shamblers

  9

  The village engineers succeed in draining the nearby swamp. "Those pesky swamp creatures will have to go somewhere else!"

  Shamblers lurk in the water-filled pits of the Caverns. They will only go after you if you attack or loot something in their room.
• 

  Undo

  10

  Every Dungeoneer is entitled to a misstep. Once.

  Undo the previous turn so you can take a different action (if you do the exact same thing, expect the same result). You can Undo Turn once per game.
• 

  Reapers

  11

  Farmer Ben enters the tavern, saying: "Hey, has anyone seen my scythe? It's almost harvest, and I can't find it for the life of me."

  Reapers slay anything in their path. And their path will be to you.
• 

  Ropers

  12

  Villager 1: "What's the difference between a stalagmite and a stalactite?" Villager 2: "Oh, I know that one! A stalagmite *might* be a roper!" Villagers 1 & 2: "Hahahaha!"

  Ropers do not move, but use their tentacles as long range whips.
• 

  Chamber of the Pharaoh

  13

  Curses! After centuries of collecting dust (and rot, and disease) the Mummy Pharaoh has arisen.

  An ancient Mummy Pharaoh has returned to lay claim to one of the rooms in the ruins. It guards an exceptional weapon.
• 

  Dragon Mages

  20

  Dragons have nerds too.

  One out of five dragons will now be a dragon mage. They are not so good at common dragon stuff, but they ... cast spells!
• 

  Haunt of the Specters

  35

  You hear horror stories of teenage villagers going missing.

  Two Specters now haunt a room in the ruins, guarding an exceptional weapon. Specters are invisible until next to you.
• 

  Mines Tunnel

  40

  A traveling archaelogist explains how to find a tunnel to the ruins. Who knew?

  A one-way tunnel can be found in the mines leading to a random location in the ruins below.
• 

  Golden Chest

  45

  The dragons realize that they need treasure more befitting magnificent creatures such as themselves.

  The dragon lair will now contain a golden chest containing an exceptional sword, shield or bow.
• 

  The Altar

  50

  Scary underground ruins would not be scary underground ruins without an altar.

  Use the altar once per game to upgrade a weapon. The highest upgrades require a health potion sacrifice.

Trinkets and Titles

As you rise in fame, the villagers will give you trinkets for a little extra luck. If you have at least one trinket and you roll a 1 on defense, the roll is changed to the maximum roll, and one of your trinkets gets used up. The villagers will give you one trinket for each of your first 5 fame levels, plus another trinket for every 5 fame levels after that.

With more fame, you will find the villagers referring to you with more respect.
