Today we mourn the passing of Jimmy, another brave soul lost to the Dungeons of Doom. A noble Tourist, merely seeking a good time, and maybe a few quality photo opportunities, roped into an ill-thought quest on behalf of a careless deity. Oh, woe unto these poor adventurers! Player character after player character has been fed into this meat grinder over the years. Only one, a Valkyrie of uncommon strength, luck, and ability to wish for Artifacts, has ever escaped alive. Stories like Jimmy's have been told time and time again, always ending in Yet Another Stupid Death, and they are no less tragic for the repetition. His easily preventable death at the hands of a priestess of Blind Io, while helpless, will serve as a reminder for generations of Tourists to come.
Join me, fellow hackers, as we commend Jimmy's soul to The Lady, and pray to deity of choice that someday, these tragedies will end.
