Role-Player's Vault
'''''Murkon's Refuge''''' is a ''[[Wizardry]]'' clone played on the [[Internet]] via a [[web browser]]. It was written by Samuel Stoddard and is hosted on the [[RinkWorks]] web site.

==History==
<i>This is a brief synopsis of the '''Making of Murkon's Refuge''' page on RinkWorks.</i>

(contracted; show full)

Various [[monster]]s inhabit the dungeon. These range from lowly [[orc]]s to powerful [[dragon]]s. There are also four "boss" monsters which are amazingly powerful and hold vital key objects. The last of these is Murkon himself, holding the magic diadem.

A notable feature of ''Murkon's Refuge'' is that when a character dies, he/she is not deleted from the game
. Instead he/she, but remains in the party, in an unusable state. In town, a dead character can be resurrected, but at a great cost. Even if the entire party dies, they are taken back to the town they last visited, and can be resurrected if the player can afford it. If he/she can'; if not, he/she has lost the game.

==Sequels==
[[As of 2005]], ''Murkon's Refuge'' is the only game of its kind. Stoddard has promised a new game using the same engine, but this will not be a direct sequel, but instead set in a different story. Stoddard has not made any announcements when this game is to appear.

==Notes==
[[As of 2005]], hundreds of players have completed ''Murkon's Refuge'', many of them several times. This has led to fans of the game trying several different challenges, such as:
* Completing the game with only one character.
* Completing the game without ever visiting any other town than the first one.
* Completing the game without ever using magic.
* Completing the game by only using magic.
* Completing the game without ever changing a character's class.
* Completing the game without any character dying.
Some of these challenges have already been accomplished, while some are just too difficult.
