The Dungeon flap story to the Appendix in the FAQ!

>Day Five
>I wandered through a sparkling crystal corridor for a couple of days.
>As I

>Day Eleven
>It's hard to believe, but I found a maze even trickier than the one
>leading to the Star Wizard's Guild in The City! After wandering
>around for what seemed like an eternity, I made an exciting find.
>It's called Lucky's Potion Brewery. Here, a traveller can select from
>all
>of the varieties of Potions and get the specific ones he needs.
>Naturally,
>a transfer of funds is required.

>Day Seventeen
>When I entered the Dungeon I had many weapons, strong armor,
>and
>heaps of experience; but my soul was an embarrassment to my
>fellow
>humans. Staying alive in The City had taken away my moral
>sensibility. Ironically, the gloom in The Dungeon lit my awareness:
>I was
>evil and I was sorry for it. Was it too late to redeem myself?
>
>As I reflected on my condition, I stumbled into a doorway. I looked
>around to discover I was inside a small Chapel! Were those tears in
>my eyes?
>
>I took a deep breath and listened to what the chaplain had to say. If
>I
>gave up all my worldly possessions, I could have this black spot
>removed
>from my soul! It wouldn't make me perfect, but would set me back
>on the
>right track. But I was rich! What a choice: My soul or my wealth.
