The Ranger has good survival skills. They are agile and can shoot well to attack enemies from a distance. But any character might have abilities outside their class's usual skill set. https://cyningstan.itch.io/the-chambers-beneath #ChambersBeneath #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Ice flows are icy rivers partially melted by volcanic activity under the surface. They can only be crossed by Combat Droids on foot, and by Hoverbugs and Air Fighters that can pass freely over them. Ground vehicles need to find a way around them. #barrenplanet #ibmpc #msdos #cga

I made it to level 22, finding a banish scroll along the way. But I'm not in a good place here, sandwiched between daemons. I hope I'm lucky and this banish scroll lasts... #ossuary #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Ridges are formed both from tectonic forces and from crater impacts. THey slow some units down, but also provide a protective advantage due to the high ground, and the ability for smaller units to hide behind the crest. #barrenplanet #ibmpc #msdos #cga

On level 21 my last banish scroll crumbles to dust, so I'm reduced to zapping the daemons with my wand and my distinctly average intelligence. Will I survive to level 22? #ossuary #ibmpc #msdos #cga
