 ==Useful Info==
 '''Maurice the Thief''' is a [[unique]] [[vine stalker]] thief who is perfectly happy to separate you from your hard-earned loot. He likes nothing more than sneaking up on you while invisible to pick your pockets as he attacks you, dealing damage and taking a random item (or gold) from your inventory. Thankfully, he drops whatever gear he stole upon death, assuming he hasn't used it yet. He generates with a [[cloak]] and [[dagger]] or [[short sword]], some [[gold]], and often a decent [[wand]].

 Since gold contributed to [[score]] in these versions, this exploit could lead to a theoretically infinite amount of points. This was only limited by the hard cap of 99,999,999 points, also present in these versions. In the above game, the death was intentional (like any good mummy, killed by fire), as was the exact score gotten.
