How about summon some : and see what happens. Maybe now that he's ascended Dudly can manage them. (Probably not, though). It would certainly keep the boredom away.

Remember: It's not the destination that's important, it's the journey. So what now? (hmm...) From the makers of Dudley's dungeon, Dion Nicolaas presents Nathan's Nethack! Dudley's back, and more newt(kinds of) small animal, like a lizard, which spends most of its time in the water.

One day in the demigod bar, Dudley became drunk and accepted a stupid chalange, that would return him to the world he hated so much... New adventures! New monsters! New excitment! New dungeons! Dudley's Dungeon 2: ADOM ...or maybe not. I'll just leave now (proceeds to do so).

See license for details. NymphA female creature from Roman and Greek mythology, the nymph occupied rivers, forests, ponds, etc. A nymph's beauty is beyond words: an ever-young woman with sleek figure and long, thick hair, radiant skin and perfect teeth, full lips and gentle eyes. A nymph's scent is delightful, and her long robe glows, hemmed with golden threads and embroidered with rainbow hues of unearthly magnificence. A nymph's demeanour is graceful and charming, her mind quick and witty. "Theseus felt her voice pulling him down into fathoms of sleep. The song was the skeleton of his dream, and the dream was full of terror. Demon girls were after him, and a bull- man was goring him. Everywhere there was blood. There was pain. There was fear. But his head was in the nymph's lap and her musk was about him, her voice weaving the dream. He knew then that she had been sent to tell him of something dreadful that was to happen to him later. Her song was a warning. But she had brought him a new kind of joy, one that made him see everything differently. The boy, who was to become a hero, suddenly knew then what most heroes learn later -- and some too late -- that joy blots suffering and that the road to nymphs is beset by monsters."

And BTW Violist I think ADOM would be more interesting since it has many different features and quests than Nethack (so many more jokes) and I think from memmory Dudley has done some SLASH'EM jokes before.

There are a few things we can do, fellow geeks. Either we can take this like men (or women in a few cases) and resign ourselves to the loss, or we can petition Dion to resume this vital comic, or we can attempt to make our own... I vote we ask Dion nicely to make more, with a second option on make our own.

We are trying to move this to the RGRN forum now. Google for "The end of Dudley?" with a date of "03 Feb 2005". That would leave the rest of this forum free for a long list of simple and plain "Thanks". No good job etc. Just one simple thanks. All 2412 of them.

If this really is the end then I will weep for Dudley. Life is empty without him. But there is a chance that Dion went on vacation and forgot to tell us. Or he could be playing a mean trick on us (My other webcomic did that a few days ago). And there's always a chance that his computer died and he'll be back in a few days. This sort of seems like and extended version of what happened on November 8th, 2004. (You try to read monday's cartoon. You try to read monday's cartoon. You try to read monday's cartoon.)

Thanks, Dion. I never thought anyone could pull off a Nethack comic, but you did it, man... but now... ~cut to Cetra kneeling on a beach, in front of a two-thirds-buried statueThen at last he began to wonder why the lion was standing so still - for it hadn't moved one inch since he first set eyes on it. Edmund now ventured a little nearer, still keeping in the shadow of the arch as much as he could. He now saw from the way the lion was standing that it couldn't have been looking at him at all. ("But supposing it turns its head?" thought Edmund.) In fact it was staring at something else - namely a little dwarf who stood with his back to it about four feet away. "Aha!" thought Edmund. "When it springs at the dwarf then will be my chance to escape." But still the lion never moved, nor did the dwarf. And now at last Edmund remembered what the others had said about the White Witch turning people into stone. Perhaps this was only a stone lion. And as soon as he had thought of that he noticed that the lion's back and the top of its head were covered with snow. Of course it must be only a statue!

I was here from the 2nd month (when the archive links wereIn 1573, the Parliament of Dole published a decree, permitting the inhabitants of the Franche-Comte to pursue and kill a were-wolf or loup-garou, which infested that province, "notwithstanding the existing laws concerning the chase." The people were empowered to "assemble with javelins, halberds, pikes, arquebuses and clubs, to hunt and pursue the said were-wolf in all places where they could find it, and to take, burn, and kill it, without incurring any fine or other penalty." The hunt seems to have been successful, if we may judge from the fact that the same tribunal in the following year condemned to be burned a man named Giles Garnier, who ran on all fours in the forest and fields and devoured little children, "even on Friday." The poor lycanthrope, it appears, had as slight respect for ecclesiastical feasts as the French pig, which was not restrained by any feeling of piety from eating infants on a fast day.

Maybe someone should go report to the authorities that JMesh is an evil newt(kinds of) small animal, like a lizard, which spends most of its time in the water. [ Oxford's Student's Dictionary of Current English ] "Fillet of a fenny snake, In the cauldron boil and bake; Eye of newt and toe of frog, Wool of bat and tongue of dog, Adder's fork and blind-worm's sting, Lizard's leg and howlet's wing, For a charm of powerful trouble, Like a hell-broth boil and bubble."

See license for details.-trollThe troll shambled closer. He was perhaps eight feet tall, perhaps more. His forward stoop, with arms dangling past thick claw-footed legs to the ground, made it hard to tell. The hairless green skin moved upon his body. His head was a gash of a mouth, a yard-long nose, and two eyes which drank the feeble torchlight and never gave back a gleam. [...] Like a huge green spider, the troll's severed hand ran on its fingers. Across the mounded floor, up onto a log with one taloned forefinger to hook it over the bark, down again it scrambled, until it found the cut wrist. And there it grew fast. The troll's smashed head seethed and knit together. He clambered back on his feet and grinned at them. The waning faggot cast red light over his fangs.

You have fought through a mega-Q questMany, possibly most, Tours are organized as a Quest. This is like a large-scale treasure hunt, with clues scattered all over the continent, a few false leads, Mystical Masters as game-show hosts, and the Dark Lord and the Terrain to make the Quest interestingly difficult. [...] In order to be assured of your future custom, the Management has a further Rule: Tourists, far from being rewarded for achieving their Quest Object, must then go on to conquer the Dark Lord or set about Saving the World, or both. And why not? By then you will have had a lot of practice in that sort of thing and, besides, the Quest Object is usually designed to help you do it.

Copyrights dating back to RogueI understand the business, I hear it: to have an open ear, a quick eye, and a nimble hand, is necessary for a cut-purse; a good nose is requisite also, to smell out work for the other senses. I see this is the time that the unjust man doth thrive. <...> The prince himself is about a piece of iniquity, stealing away from his father with his clog at his heels: if I thought it were a piece of honesty to acquaint the king withal, I would not do't: I hold it the more knavery to conceal it; and therein am I constant to my profession.
