Line 19:
* There are lots of "used armor" shops scattered throughout the dungeons. Sometimes these shops contain cursed armor, which can't be removed, except by uncursing it or if the original owner dies wearing it. Now [[Fridge Horror|where do you think they got their inventory from?]]
** Dying while in a shop confirms it outright - the shopkeeper takes all your possessions in that event (which amounts to making them part of the shop's inventory). Seems reasonable enough... but if you directly steal from the shop (e.g. teleporting out with unpaid items, digging out...), the shop owner will try their damnedest to chase you down. If you should die after that point, guess who comes for the loot?
==Characters==
* '''You.''' Yes, you, the [[Horror Hunger|corpse-eating]], gold-stealing, magic-abusing [[One-Man Army|One-@ Army]]! With the blessings of your god, you'll be wreaking havoc upon the dungeon and its denizens. Sure, [[Everything Trying to Kill You|most of them are trying to kill you]], but what of the ones who aren't - did that peaceful dwarf deserve to be robbed and killed just because you ''really'' wanted to borrow their pick-axe? Even without leaning heavily on moral angles, the sheer amount of killing and eating (usually involving the things you just killed) that you have to do would be thoroughly off-putting in any other context.
