Fighting elves RET a Imagine yourself in a cave fighting gargoyles, elves, and dwarves, while escaping peril by leaping over an acid pit. Crazy? To some it might seem strange, but to many students, including freshman Paul Tra- bosh and Sam Mustafa it is a challenge worth taking. Adventures and conflicts of the third kind are exactly what the game, Dungeons. and Dragons, is all about. The game of fantasy consists of a dungeon master and charac- ters who battle through con- flicts with intelligence, imagi- nation, and luck. The dungeon master sets up a stage and presents situations to the Characters who must find ways of overcoming their ob- stacles. Whether they suc- ceed or not is decided by a roll of the dice. The game, which first started on college cam- puses, has gained amazing popularity at Monacan High School. The characters include cler- ics, fighters, magicians, and thieves, all of whom have unique skills which enable them to conquer monsters and adversaries.

All the other char- acters, except one, ran off. This solitary brave soul won the battle by one number with his role of the dice. While many people have the impression that the fun of play- ing Dungeons and Dragons is limited to the ‘‘brains’”’ of the school, Sam Mustafa disa- grees. He feels that the main requirement to the game is not intelligence, but rather a vivid imagination. Sam stated that the creativity of the dungeon master and the players is what gives the game its special fla- vor. While Paul and Sam might disagree on some aspects of the game, both agree that Dungeons and Dragons is Original and exciting. The game’s flexible structure has few limitations and prevents it from getting boring or repeti- tious. With the combination of imagination, skill, and luck, Dungeons and Dragons just might replace Monopoly as a rainy day pasttime.
