Over the coming weeks I'll be describing the various creatures that will cross your path in Ossuary, with occasional tips on how to deal with them. You can download and play Ossuary at http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/6/ossuary

Bats are weak but with high agility, so they cause little damage but may be difficult to hit..

Vermin are giant rats which are not difficult to kill but can give a weakly-armed character a nasty bite in the mean time.

Arachnids are giant spiders that can deliver a fierce bite to a hero who is not protected by a shield.

Serpents are giant snakes whose scaly hide gives them great defensive ability. A decent blade helps dispatch them quickly.

Cadavers are decomposing bodies that are still dangerous foes. They are sometimes carrying loot, which they will drop when killed.

Skeletons are the animated bleached bones of centuries-old warriors, whose strength lies in their sword and shield.

Daemons are spirits of the underworld, the strongest monster in the game. Blades bounce off them, so defeat them with scrolls or the magic wand.

The Necromancer is the final enemy in Ossuary. He is the cause of all the chaos you've battled through. If you kill him, then you will keep your gold... and your life! If you want to beat him, check out Ossuary on its web page: http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/downloads/6/ossuary

The VOD from my Ossuary stream last week is now available for the long term on YouTube. If you want to see me play through the game a couple of times, and witness a dramatic camera collapse, go to https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qxC71UR6wac #ossuary #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Ossuary continues to be popular, according to my download stats. So here's a tutorial to get you started in the game. Ossuary: Your First Descent. http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/37/ossuary-your-first-descent #ossuary #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Ossuary is a very simple roguelike. Magic is much simpler than in other roguelikes, but also very different. This article describes how to make use of magic in the game. Ossuary: the Role of Magic. http://dos.cyningstan.org.uk/post/38/ossuary-the-role-of-magic #ossuary #ibmpc #msdos #cga

Ossuary has support for dual-wielding blades, giving you the accumulated benefit of two weapons - if you're strong enough to go without a shield. Read more about dual-wielding in this article.

It's about time I posted some more Ossuary content, don't you think? Let's have a playthrough. Over the coming weeks I'll play through the game, posting one toot per level. Here goes! Here we have an obvious warrior character, high attack strength and a bit dim.

Unlucky! With our last scroll gone, we're reduced to waving this wand at the horde of spectres and it doesn't go well. We took two down before the third one ended our dungeon run. We got 520 gold, but gold counts for nothing when you're dead! #ossuary #ibmpc #msdos #cga
