Secret Agent
Secret Agent
Secret Agent is a mini-game that is tailored toward sneaky rogues and mischievous gameplay.
How to Play Secret Agent
Secret Agent games are pre-announced in Discord via the event tools. There may also be spontaneous (unannounced) games to reward people who are active and paying attention in-game. Eventually, we’ll setup a calendar tool that showcases our mini-games with guaranteed timeslots.
Joining Secret Agent
There is a secret warehouse in Britain, not far from the West bank. The coordinates are 1478, 1729, 0.
You’ll find an entrance to the event inside when the game is active. In order to join Secret Agent currently, you must arrive as a ghost. You may only bring newbie (or blessed) clothing and your spellbook to the event. All other items must be left in your bank.
Starting the Game
You will be resurrected (no skill, stat, or fame loss) at the beginning of the game with full hit points. You’re trapped in a house with many other enemy Agents.
The game begins as soon as you’re alive and ends when only one Agent is left. You can use any means necessary to kill each other. This includes activating traps and spawns, using weapons found in the home, using your fists, using potions, using wand effects, and anything your character skills can bring to the fight.
The House
The house is filled with containers, levers, and switches hidden in plain sight (try double-clicking ANYTHING, you never know what might be a switch!). You will find weapons, tools, and supplies spawning in the house (check containers and look around on the floor.)
- Clarification: Stealing skill is not required to take items from containers within the house.
- Pro Tip: Pick up any and all items you can. Each tile or container has a limit on how many items it can hold. If it has items you don’t want in it, you need to take those before a new item can spawn.
Items in the House
The house comes fully stocked with everything you need to murderize the competition!
- Non-magical weapons
- Arrows & bolts
- Shields
- Potions
- Reagents
- Leather
- Ingots
- Boards
- Bandages
- Cloth
- Scissors
- Tongs
- Sewing Kits
- Saws
- Tinkers Tools
- Mortar & Pestles
- Empty Bottles
- Magical Wands
Special Items in the House
Among the standard weapons, tools, and supplies are a few specialty weapons. These are bright color, to make it easy to spot when someone has one equipped.
These special weapons check your Tactics skill instead of their traditional weapon skill. They do not benefit from archery, fencing, mace fighting, or swordsmanship skills.
- The Golden Axe: when it hits, it hurts!
- Shadowbane: comes pre-poisoned with 5 charges of deadly poison
- Shortshot: the fastest crossbow you’ve ever seen…just need to find some bolts!
- The Blowgun: a hollowed out black staff with a range of 4 tiles. Requires no ammo.
The Trickery
You will find switches and levers in the home. There are obvious switches and levers, and some are hidden in plain sight. Activating these have a variety of effects…
- You might poison everyone in the house.
- You might reveal all the hidden players.
- You might activate/spawn a series of traps.
- You might even spawn a dangerous beast.
These levers are shuffled every few so often to keep it fresh, so be careful when pulling those levers, it might cost you your own life.
