Welcome to The Pit
Winning
There is ONE way to win in The Pit: Be the last wizard alive among all those who have lost or will lose in the mazes in the tournament (including the Championship). This can be done in many ways. You can just survive. You can hunt other players to be sure you are the last one alive. You can try to get stronger with experience by completing quests. You can work with other players to attempt to obtain the Relics or kill the Boss. Whatever you do, Just be the last one alive.
The Pit will do whatever it wants to spur wizards to action. If, for instance, a wizard barricades himself within walls to hide from other wizards and makes no attempt to interact with The Pit, The Pit may decide to fill his enclosure with water, slowly drowning him until he is either dead or has moved.

Player Death and Inactivity
If a player dies they will come back as a Ghost Wizard with the profile below. Ghost wizards will take their turn at the beginning of the monster turn. When initially spawned, they begin in the center square, with The Pit Boss. Players may control their Ghost or allow The Pit to control it (in which case ghosts will always target nearest wizard/monster). Moods for the Ghost Wizards are not public information, are chosen and sent by PM to the HOST, and should not be shared with anyone other than ghosts and/or the Host. Ghosts are not to have any communication with alive players outside of this thread but are encouraged to continue to haunt the living within the thread.
Ghost Wizard (Can pass through any object, wall, or obstacle and their movement can never be blocked. Any damage to the ghost resets the ghost back to the center square. Are not a valid target for bosses or monsters.) | HP: N/A | Move: 3 | Base Damage: N/A |
Moods (chosen by the player, else rolled randomly):
Possessed Wizard ?????
If a player is inactive for two consecutive turns, a replacement will be allowed to control them. If there are no replacements, The Pit Boss takes control of the wizard and he gains profile below. Mind-Controlled Wizards take their turns during their color's turn and are not valid targets for monsters.
Mind-Controlled Wizard (Will cast Shield, reduce damage by 2, on a roll of 4 when attacked. If adjacent to a wizard, will do base damage and still perform their mood) | HP: 20 | Move: 3+D6 | Base Damage: 1 |
Moods:
Good Luck to all in The Pit.
If you don't kill each other. The Pit certainly will.

Rules
Base rules:
The base rules are the same as the base game (with modifications listed below) which can be found here and clarified in the FAQ here.
Modifications to the base rules:
Schools of Magic
Every school of magic will be used as well as both cantrip decks.
Counter-Spells - Because no one wants to have to wait for everyone to say whether or not they will counter any given spell by another player, all players will instead queue up their counter/reaction spells with conditions. For example, if I had a Full Shield (Counter any spell targeting me) in my hand I could queue it up by saying "Cast only if someone targets me with an attack that does damage" or "Cast if someone targets me with any spell" or "Cast if someone targets me with [specific spell]". These conditions can be as specific, multi-tiered, and creative as you want them to be. These should be PM'd to me once you get your starting hand/draw new cards and can be changed whenever and as often as you like. If you don't set anything up for your counter-spells, they just simply won't get played when its not your turn.
Turns - Turns will also be PM'd to me. Your turn will need to be sent in on the assigned/signed up day your turn is supposed to be made. Your PM will contain the exact movement and timing of all the castings of your spells. Because there are counter-spells, however, if something gets countered in the middle of your turn, then it gets countered and your turn will continue on. In order to account for this, you can put conditionals in your turn order. For example, "Move down, Cast Lightning Bolt targeting Red Wizard. If lightning bolt is countered, then transform into Gnome and move Up, Up. If lightning bolt is not countered, then cast Fire Wall on right side of A-4 and move Up, Up." These can be as complicated or as simple as you want/need them to be.
Communication - Try to keep all communication in this thread. PMs are allowed for private communication. Absolutely no sharing direct information about your cards, but loose coordination of turns is allowed.
The base rules are the same as the base game (with modifications listed below) which can be found here and clarified in the FAQ here.
Modifications to the base rules:
Temporary Spells: All temporary spells are now permanent.
Maintaining Spells: Any permanent/temporary spell that does not directly affect you is out of your control after being cast. In other words, there is no maintaining of spells that do not directly affect you and you can not dismiss any previously cast permanent/temporary spells that do not directly affect you. If you create a wall, its staying there until someone Dispels it or destroys it.
Base Energy: The base energy of every card is now 2.
Hand Size: You current hand size does not include maintained spells (transformations, etc). Held Items still count against your hand size.
Drawing: You may now draw as many cards as necessary to reach your maximum hand size.
Health: A player's starting and maximum health is 20.
Attacks: Players may make two attacks per turn.
Doors: After being destroyed, they will re-appear in three turns.
Stuning: If a wizard is stunned, they can either lose half their attacks and move or not move and still do their full attacks. If a monster is stunned, a roll will be made to determine if they attack or move.

The Map and its Relics, Dangers, Monsters, and Boss
Base Map for this version of The Pit:
Relics:
Dangers:
Monsters and Boss:
There are 4 types of monsters in this version of The Pit. Monsters always act after all the players have taken their turns. Monsters can not open doors. If a monster can not trace a path to a wizard, they will instead cause a number cracks equal to the number of players divided by two (rounded up) to the weakest door/wall within movement range that will give them a path. Monsters have "moods" that determine what they do and how they act. After a monster takes its turn, its mood randomly changes based on the roll of a D4. The player will always know what mood a monster will have on its next turn to allow them to plan. When a monster is killed, another one of the same type will spawn immediately in a randomly selected monster starting zone. The more a particular monster spawns, the higher chance a spawning may produce unexpected results. The monsters in this version of The Pit are -
Golem | HP: 15 | Move: 2 | Damage: 4 | All damage taken is reduced by 2, Blocks LOS. | Moods:
Boss: Bosses are the guardians of the Relics. They block LOS and movement. They do not re-spawn once killed. Basic attacks from Bosses can not be avoided, reduced, evaded, or prevented. There is one Boss in this version of The Pit. The Boss in this version of The Pit is -
Relics:
Spellbook of [UNKNOWN] | Location: G7 | It grants [UNKNOWN] to the holder. It can not be destroyed or stolen. If the bearer is killed, it returns to its original location.
[UNKNOWN] Wand | Location : I9 | It grants [UNKNOWN] to the holder. It can not be destroyed or stolen. If the bearer is killed, it returns to its original location.
[UNKNOWN] Wand | Location : I9 | It grants [UNKNOWN] to the holder. It can not be destroyed or stolen. If the bearer is killed, it returns to its original location.
Dangers:
Hellfire Walls: Hellfire Walls can not be dispelled or destroyed, deal 10 damage to any wizard that walks through them, can not be teleported/mistwalked through, and block all LOS. Damage from the Hellfire can not be avoided/reduced/countered/evaded. Players can not be forced to walk through the Hellfire by other players.
Demon Traps: Demon traps can not be dispelled or destroyed. Demon traps are triggered when a wizard enters its square and are subject to one of four effects determined randomly by a roll of D4 -

Players may control their Ghost or allow The Pit to control it (in which case ghosts will always target nearest wizard/monster). Moods for the Ghost Wizards are not public information, are chosen and sent by PM to the HOST, and should not be shared with anyone other than ghosts and/or the Host. Ghosts are not to have any communication with alive players outside of this thread but are encouraged to continue to haunt the living within the thread.

Good Luck to all in The Pit.
If you don't kill each other. The Pit certainly will.
Clarifications:
Can I discard secret quest rewards?
No. If you want to free up hand space, you can drop them in your current square.
What happens if I attack someone on my turn and the target is dead because a wizard of the same color killed the target before I could or my target is out of LOS/not Adjacent when the spell requires it?
Your spell doesn't fire and it stays in your hand. The rest of your turn continues as normal.
So I waste a turn? That's lame
Yup, maybe you should work something out with your fellow wizard to prevent that from happening...
Can you let me know if <insert condition here> happens so I can revise my orders?
No, you can not revise your orders. Orders can only be revised if your movement is impeded during your turn or you draw new cards in the middle of your turn. This is to keep the game flowing and to prevent more downtime than we need.
Do gnomes still get to dodge ghost powers?
any damage from ghosts/monster/cinder are considered attacks and are treated as such for the purposes of evading, reducing, preventing
Do ghosts ignore Big Man rules of "cannot enter or move through the Big Man's square/blocks LOS"
ghosts' movement can never be blocked
Can ghost powers be countered? (I'm guessing not by Wall of Earth, but in any other way)?
damage from ghosts/monsters can be countered, but moods are not spells so they can not be absorbed, negated, etc.

Please read over the rules and let me know of any changes you think should be made or clarifications that need to be made.
Limitedly. Try to keep as much convo in the thread as possible.
But yeah, alliances and stuff will be needed, so PMs are allowed for secret talk.
Does this mean if you stun the slime then the slime is no longer attached? Also, when you move 6+, where does the slime end up (starting square for the move, 5th square, other). And does the wizard's stun status wear off immediately (so that he can run 6+ away from it, then cast a spell) or is it just for the next turn?
Hellfire Walls can not be damaged or destroyed. - clarified in the OP
If you stun the slime then the slime is no longer attached. The slime drop off at the square you started when you moved 6+ spaces. Attached Slimes stun the wizard they are attached to at the start of that wizard's turn. - All now clarified in the OP.
Feels as though if the treasure just sits on the glyph in this one, you can move it away and back, or you and a partner could take turns dragging the same two treasures back and forth between two glyphs.
I had planned to have the treasure disappear and new treasure would appear on the tile where the treasure was taken in one of the two spots, whichever was furthest from a wizard.
If you kill the boss, does it respawn in its original location? Or is it just dead forever? Killing the boss and then having it spring back to life next turn would suck, even to the one who landed the killing blow and was at max level.
Demon Traps: Do they go away if triggered? Given their effects it seems like they would, else if you are immobilized for 4 turns you have to take the trap damage for 4 turns, which on average will immobilize you for 4 turns before you were free.... so you'd basically die (even if you weren't within the hellfire walls with the boss beating on you). Assuming they go away after they are stepped on, do they ever come back?
Demon Traps only trigger the turn a wizard enters the square.
Both now clarified in the OP.
Your move.
EDIT: Never mind, re-read the rules.
And the smell disappears. With a sigh of relief, Gandalf_the_Crazed boosts towards his goal. When he comes across a wall, he transforms into a Big Man (Ogre was apparently trademarked by another wizard academy) and sends his fist directly into the wall. He sees a crack form. Welp, this will take a while, hopefully that Werewolf can't break through the wall.
Actual Orders:
Move left, left
Smell the werewolf to the south
Pee self
Cast "Create Wall" on the border D6/E6
No longer smell the werewolf to the south
Cease peeing self

- If a monster can not trace a path to a wizard, they will instead do one crack to the weakest door/wall within movement range that will give them a path.
Ah, fucknuts.
And he does get a turn before the monsters.
When he reaches a dead end, he laughs and covers himself in a fire cloak. Using his cloak for power he punches the wall and puts a crack in it.
Actual Orders:
Discard handful of tacks for 3 movement,
Move to I3,
play Fire Cloak,
Punch wall @ I2/3 for 1 crack.
Discard 0, Draw 2 cards

Also, as I deal out spells that specifically target hands, cards, etc, I will also try to give it an alternate mode to affect monsters.
The fireball will also destroy all created objects and dropped items damaged by the attack.
Gandalf_the_Crazed, do you want a second punch as well?
Don't push me, and I won't push you. ;-)
And boy does it.
Wow does it ever.
Icing on the cake, he traps himself in with a thornbush.
Actual Orders:
Rotate current sector 90° counter-clockwise.
Because it seems to be a mandatory action in The Pit, I'll punch the wall in front of me twice.
Then say, "this is taking too fucking long" and just melt the damn thing with Universal Solvent.
Cast Thornbush at K3.
Draw 3 cards.

Items/Objects Key
K3 - Thornbush | Neutral | Permanent | Create 1 thornbush in target empty space. Thornbushes block LOS and take 1 crack (or 1 fire damage) to destroy. Wizards who enter the thornbush's square immediately end their turn, take 1 physical damage, and are stunned for one turn. This is not an attack and can not be evaded.

e- ooo Being the last person into the pit means you get to go last before the monsters go. That's going to be a huge advantage... up until someone else lands in the pit and goes after you of course! I LIKE that mechanic.
Good work.
The slime and golem move closer to their targets.
The werewolf is enraged by his enclosure and strikes at the nearby door.
Cinder sends a Fireball at the bottom Green section. Missing everyone.

Which he can't get to. Never mind!
Actual Orders:
Move north.
Cast Lightning Bolt to the south, using Energy (6) to boost it. That should make it hit the gnome twice (Rolls: 3,4), without hitting me. Assuming the gnome doesn't evade it.
Draw however many cards. (6)
