Scavenger Hunt — AB

Overview

Written from the facts in this map's file

Scavenger Hunt is a large 108 by 108 map with an underground level, built for six players, only one of whom can be human, and with no teams. The premise is that a dragon has seized Armageddon's Blade, and the player must recover it and bring it back to the keep. Rock covers about two-fifths of the terrain and water about a quarter, with dirt and swamp making up most of the rest. Red and Blue play Dungeon, Tan and Purple play Necropolis, Green plays Stronghold, and Orange plays Castle. Victory requires transporting the specified artifact, and a player loses by losing all towns and heroes. Scattered across the map are 37 mines, 26 creature banks, six seer huts, and wandering skeletons, gnolls, and minotaurs. Six other named artifacts, including the Shield of the Dwarven Lords, are also placed by hand.

Author's description

A scavenger dragon has taken the mighty Armegeddon Blade from a battle field and dribbles his dragon drool all over it as he preens his scales and flaunts the weapon at your front door. It is up to you to relieve him of his prize and restore it to the great halls of Armegeddon's Keep!
