Roguesmith

The last thing you see is the sneer on Yendor's face as the archmage flicks a dismissive banishing spell in your direction. So this is his thanks for the amulet you forged him...

You awake to find yourself on the floor of a hostile dungeon teeming with legendary monsters – and legendary items. This must be where the so-called archmage sends the things he doesn't feel like dealing with. 

As a smith – a rogue smith – you know what you have to do. Craft powerful weapons, fight your way to freedom, and avenge yourself upon the foolish archmage who dared to earn your ire.
