The Annoy-o-Tron 5000

The Annoy-o-Tron 5000

As you approach the strange machine, Gnorman hobbles out of his hut and addresses you.

"Hello, Tall One! This is my greatest invegntion -- the Annoy-O-Tron 5000! When the dial is turned, it emits low-frequency waves that permeate the egntire Kingdom, causing all of the mognsters to become enraged!"

The device is currently set to level X.

Set the dial to: Level {0 to 10}. Touch that dial!

Notes

• Located in the Gnomish Gnomads' Camp, an area only accessible to players who have ascended with a Moxie zodiac sign, this device has a dial which supposedly controls all the monsters in the Kingdom. The dial goes from 0 to 10.
• Setting the dial adds that number to the level of every monster you fight.
• Setting the dial to 0 yields the following message:

You switch the dial. All of the monsters in the Kingdom breathe a sigh of relief and settle back into their normal routines.

• Setting the dial to a number 1 to 10 yields the following message:

You switch the dial. All of the monsters in the kingdom suddenly wince, as though they were being bombarded with waves of concentrated annoyance.

• In a Zombie Slayer run, the message is changed:

You approach the Annoy-O-Tron 5000, which appears to be none the worse for wear. Gnorman doesn't seem to be around to tell you how to operate it, but since the only control is a dial numbered from 0 to 10, you can probably figure it out on your own.

• Attempting (through possibly unscrupulous means) to set the dial to a number that is out of the valid range yields the following message:

Invalid dial setting. You invalid dial setter, you. Hey, we just got a new dog! It's an Invalid Dial Setter!

• You can also receive special rewards if you defeat certain bosses with the dial at certain settings, as detailed below. Click through the individual rewards for more details.
