You can befriend a bee (it will follow you around and even go between floors with you) if you throw an elixir of honeyed healing. I thing Yog-Dzewa is an otherworldly demon that got the Yendor amulet and it uses it to grow in power with it. As the dwarf king says, it's power over this world is limited. Maybe it wants the amulet to conquer this dimension; is what I thing an otherworldly god that has limited power but can gain more with the amulet would try to do. Also, the dwarf king's mission as of right now is to stop Yog-Dzewa's minions from arising. And it's not like the king wants the amulet for just that, keeping Yog-Dzewa at bay, he uses it to controll the minds of the whole city. Probably they sent you down there to stop the dark magic from below, aka return the amulet of Yendor to the surface, as if not, its dark magic would probably start leaking onto the surface, and that'd be bad. I think that the amulet isn't the one that's resisting to be freed, I think it's Yog controlling the amulet the one that empowers the enemies and beckons them to you. But that's just my theory...
Thx for the tip on using honeyed healing. It never ceases to amaze me how there's always something new to learn in this game even after years of playing SPD.
As for the backstory, it can be interpreted in a number of ways and is really just a carry-over from the original dev logically creating some good vs bad guys. The stories were then added as other versions grew.
However, it might be time to start thinking like a dungeon master that has more tricks in their bag than, "OK what should I give the players to kill next?" and reward them with more than, "Yay, I killed everyone I met!"... lol.
There's also the matter of the Hero corrupting, enchanting, and conjuring other unwilling creatures to be fodder to kill for them which doesn't make the Hero much different than the Dwarve King. They appear to be two sides of the same coin if the Hero isn't actually helping, saving, or freeing anyone.
Finally, my other wish is that Lemmy would recognize paragraph spacing so posts don't look like a wall of text which is why I add dashes between them.
Leave an empty line.
That way you get separate paragraphs. Lemmy uses Markdown (and so does reddit, actually, but you may be used to the fancy-pants editor)
I did, like Reddit, but the spacing is almost non-existent
