Introduction

Inside the Pit of Pestilence

I greet you, Healthy One, and bid you enter into the Pit of Pestilence. Here you will find me most welcoming and eager to introduce you to my children. I see the warmth in your body and the tiniest diseases within you waiting to find their way to your surface.

Please permit me to offer you the flavour of my air and the murkiness of my water. Unlike my brothers, I will not try to discourage you or threaten you with dangers. I am an accomodating being and enjoy visitors who stay a while. You must, of course, agree to answer my questions in order to wander my Pit.

The Pit of Pestilence is a living being as you can see, and even the walls and floor are welcoming. Take care to see all the sights I have laid out for you and to visit each of my pets with your company.

Each of the dripping vines that I have grown in my garden will return you to the start should you prefer that place for your entertainment, except the vine that grows in my final chamber which will return you to my brother's Catacomb of Famine. The ladder that you will find in that same room goes deeper into the Stronghold of Security to the Sepulchre of Death, our eldest brother's home.

The Pestilent Beasts

Spider (Level 24)

Ignore not the humblest of my pets, for they are among my most numerous. They give a pleasant sensation as they crawl and swarm and nibble. Though they are small they are beautiful in their size and give me great pleasure.

Catablepon (Level 49/64/68)

This is a pet of my own design and is she not a thing of delight? The catablepon has the powers of a mage and is cased inside a body sturdy and powerful. They are wary of strangers, though, so it is best to take care not to accidentally hurt them if they become aggressive.

Giant spider (Level 50)

As my spiders grow to adulthood they shed their skins many times and when they are finished they become these mighty beasts. They lose much of the charm they had when children, but gain an elegant grace with their long limbs and a bite that draws wonderful disease to the surface.

Scorpion (Level 37/59)

Scorpions are a creature I hold close to my swollen heart, for with a single swift flick they deliver poisons and toxins to the healthy nearby. They are hardy pets, too, but they do not get along well with my other children so I must keep them separated.
