 If you [[chat]] to Mike Stephenson, he will ask [[you]] to find three [[Scroll of missing code|scrolls of missing code]] scattered around the [[Dungeons of Doom]]. These scrolls have the non-randomized label of 'PLZ RETURN TO DEVTEAM' and can generate in any open space, including corridors and shops; you can encounter them before finding the DevTeam Office itself. Chatting with Mike again will provide a hint for which level a scroll is hidden on; chatting to him while carrying the scroll in open inventory or [[throw]]ing them to him will safely return the scrolls and change the hint given. Giving him all of the scrolls rewards you with the [[Really Cool Shirt]], an artifact [[T-shirt]], provided you did not personally kill [[Izchak]].<ref>https://github.com/tnnt-devteam/tnnt/commit/a5c32f85914f68e31c4eed661efea9a9a41e3a62</ref>
-Like all other scrolls, the missing code scrolls are susceptible to fire and water. Hiding them in a container is advised. Also, be very careful not to anger the [[Devteam member]]s; they are extremely powerful and can displace monsters like the [[Riders]] do. In addition, if a devteam member dies, [[Instadeath|the game immediately ends]], and [[life saving]] will not protect you.
