Nickropolis

Nickropolis, the Grave Robbing Game, is a medieval jaunt through the graveyard looking for loose jewels and lost magic items. As you explore the forbidden tombs, you'll encounter plenty of undead, who don't appreciate being robbed as they take their final rest. They say you can't take it with you, but they intend to fight for it anyway. You'll also want to hurry, because the Nickropolis locks itself as you play, and you really don't want to be trapped down there forever. However, if you do happen to join the residents, you can still win the game from beyond the grave. Happy stealing!

The Story...

Your buddy Marley motions for you to join him at a dark table crammed in the corner of the bar. You and the other thieves go over and seat yourselves around him. He looks around nervously before he speaks.

"Got a job for you. You know they're planting Ol' Lady Elston tonight? Gonna do some spooky ceremony before they put her in that family necropolis. Listen up. Gatekeeper Willy is in charge of unlocking the mausoleum, and Willy likes his bottle. So I'm gonna make sure he has a nice full one tonight, because that's the kind of guy I am. Once he's hammered, you break in. I'll keep a lookout up top and sort out your loot. Just one thing, you got to be quick. That place has some kind of clockwork mechanism that will seal you down in there with all them dead Elston's, and you don't want that. They say some of them ain't quite as dead as they should be. Now whoever tosses up the most loot items will be known as the king of the thieves around here. You in?"
