Unattended Game: Velrath

He was doing fine without you.

Velrath is a blue wizard who can look after himself. He wanders through the woods, throws spells at orcs, and lets his lanterns pick up the loot. I usually leave him to it until I spot a chest with three guards around it. Then I click on it and make it his problem.

Please keep the house in one piece.

Grab WASD whenever you want to steer, or click a spot and let Velrath find his way. If you come across a village under attack, stick around for a fight. The villagers pay you if their main house is still standing when it’s over. Suddenly you care quite a lot about somebody else’s roof.

The wizard gets paid for breaking things.

Get another lantern to help carry the loot. Whatever you bring back goes into the grinder at the end of the run, and out comes the gold. There’s a skip button, but I like watching it work.

Go make a coffee. He’s got this.

Switch on Streamer Mode and Velrath picks his own upgrades, steps through portals, and heads straight back out when a run ends. By the time you get back, he might already be halfway through a run you didn’t even start.
