~The Town:

~     The top level of the  dungeon is the town.  It is the  starting  and ending
point for most expeditions.  There are several places of interest in the town:

~The Bank:  You must  visit the bank  after your expeditions to change your coins
     and treasure into money.  Depositing money in the bank is wise if you sleep
     in cheap accomodations.
~The Temple:  This is the  place to get  cured.  It is best to  always  have full
     health points when  adventuring in the dungeon,  so frequent  visits to the
     temple are a wise idea.  Wizards can often cure themselves.
~The Inns:  There are several Inns,  and you get what you pay for.  Staying at an
     Inn will heal a small amount of damage,  restore all spell points, and will
     allow you to absorb experience.  This is important  because more experience
     often means higher levels and much greater power and capabilities.
~The Stores:  The stores sell armor and weapons at rather outrageous prices,  but
     they seem to have a monopoly around here.
~The Wizard's Guild:  A place to get information on spells and magic items.  They
     also charge  rather large  amounts of money for their  services,  but it is
     well worth it in the long run to know what these items and spells do.

~     You can cast  preparation  spells in the town,  and you can use  some magic
items as well. Many spells and magical effects wear off when you enter the town.
There are no monsters in the town, so many spells and effects are not needed.
