[net.games.rogue] Advanced Rogue 5.5 - level 0

dys@homxa.UUCP (D.SZE) (08/12/85)

Regarding Advanced Rogue 5.5:

A player here got the quested item and made it up to level 1.
Upon going up a level, there appeared a screen full of ."/ and
monsters.  There was day (when all was visible) and night
(like a dark room).  Although there were borders around the
screen, you could pass through them into another screen
full of ."/ and monsters.

Anyone know how to get out and finish the game?
Are there an unlimited number of these rooms?
Is this a map, with (blank) = lakes, . = prarie, etc.?

The player found a % doorway, but was told
"this doorway only goes down".

Appreciate any help.

This is the forest.

	bl : NON-passable

You DO NOT need the artifact to go into this level (you don't
need it to go up).

The borders divide the forest into SEGMENTS.  You can go into
the forest via a caret (^) in the dungeon or UP the first
level staircase (%).  Anyone can do it.

Don't forget that there ARE treasure up there too.

It not really like a dark room at night either, if you go around it
you will not see the monsters sleeping or treasures.

>Anyone know how to get out and finish the game?

Sure, you get the artifact and climb out.

>Are there an unlimited number of these rooms?

Close enough.

>Is this a map, with (blank) = lakes, . = prarie, etc.?

It is a map, but the guesses to what they stand for are wrong.
The correct ones are above.  (also, you can ask rogue)

>The player found a % doorway, but was told
>"this doorway only goes down".

This means that he didn't have the amulet  (the fool).

  hey dont call the guy a fool cause the stairway doesnt go up even with
 the artifact if your in the forest.  The forest is the highest level. ie. 0
 i've had the artifact and come back up.  You just make it to the forest with
the artifact.
