==Quest==
{{main|Tourist quest}}
The Tourist's quest sees them fighting the [[Master of Thieves]] for [[The Platinum Yendorian Express Card]], an artifact credit card. The Platinum Yendorian Express Card grants [[magic resistance]], [[telepathy]] and [[half spell damage]] while carried. [[Invoking]] the Card can charge objects like a scroll of charging, with an effect partly dependent on the Card's beatitude: Tourists can invoke the blessed Platinum Yendorian Express Card to charge objects in the same way as a blessed scroll of charging, and otherwise the artifact only charges as an uncursed scroll does.

==Strategy==
{{todo|Structure and fill out similar to other SLASH'EM role strategy sections, and differentiate accordingly.}}
