Imp Games (Hidden Imp) — SoD

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Imp Games is a large Shadow of Death map of 108 by 108 with no underground level. Four human players face off without teams, each starting with a random faction. Half the terrain is water and half is snow. Players win by building a Grail structure before the 112-day limit expires, which is also the loss condition. The map contains seven towns, 32 mines, 40 monoliths and portals, and 71 random monster stacks, with notable finds including the Boots of Speed, the Shackles of War, and the Grail itself. The author's cryptic, rhyming text reflects on rules and choice.

Who wanted to be one of them? Who wanted to be one of us? Who wared down the law and then Wrote once this strange devise? I don`t know and don`t want to know, It makes no odds who makes rules. Stilly falling first snow, Colour it, don`t refuse... (Imp Lull, fourth part, bloody song)
