In reply to Orum Copsetwinkle (msg # 973):

Those are, of course, cogent objections. Let us say they have been addressed, and continue to be addressed, by the rolling of a d8 rather than a d6 for visitors.

@ Fodor: that is the haunted square.

Ah! In that case…proceed! We ain’t afraid of no ghosts!

Ha!  I'd second that if I didn't runaway the first time

What's to be the next leg of searching? Trapdoors along the spine of the serpent?

I will be traveling Friday through Monday. NPC me as needed. Will post until then.

@DM: keep searching/hugging the wall and rolling for ransoms…

How about going back to room 31 and trying the wall in the corridor opposite... or try again if we failed to find anything before?

We need Víxl’s input. I haven’t been paying attention to the full map. We OBVIOUSLY need to find rooms 32-34 and the main area unexplored is in the middle of this level. I’m just not sure where the swinging pendulum room/hall was. That may be the path to the middle.

Does the hallway we are currently in (going past the King & Queen warnings), lead to stairs down or to a dead end?

I know we found one trap door down already, but did we also finds steps down?

Based on the map, we are probably wasting time looking for secret doors on this current hallway- if 3 elven kin didn’t notice any doors without actively looking, low odds finding any doors while slowly but actively looking. And we’ll perhaps be going back and forth through here again in the future.

Also need to figure a way past the swinging blades if at all possible, and what is coating them.

We need Víxl’s input.

-->Her new city doesn't want her to have internet. I'm not surprised given my time having been a resident there.

-->That's 26.

-->Agreed. I always advise leaving these searches for the very end when you have nowhere else to go.

Alright. Let’s head back to Room 26, the poisoned blade room. Looks like that is the path that leads to the center of this floor. How many Neutralize Poisons do we have? We need to figure out if we can jam or lock the blades. There might be a switch or latch on the other side of the blades…we can send Orum on Friday when he becomes an NPC…

Zero Neutralize Poisons today, sorry.  Next time we decide to go this way, I will pray,

Brute force.

Go grab sarcophagus lids or even a sarcophagus you big strong tallies. Shove it through the blades.

As an engineer, I scoff at perpetual motion (It's MAAAAAAAAAAGICC!!!!!!) and the fact that no wandering hooligan set them off before us (I mean, we are blessed, and certainly the best)

But shove a huge block of stone into said trap and all is negated. Just don't run away in fear again.

Did you trigger the blades when you stepped on a red square? If that’s the trigger, just walk through on the white squares…

In reply to Orum Copsetwinkle (msg # 987):

You reached this section of the tombs through a secret door.

My apologies everyone. That took a lot longer than I thought. If I had realized how much longer it would have taken, I wouldn't have left such a hopeful timeline. The city is everything one has heard, for good or ill.


One good thing- after the ghoul encounter, Víxl made it to 2nd level as a mage and has 12hp now.

In OSRIC...
'the mage will automatically receive one new spell of the highest spell level that he or she may cast upon acquiring a new level of experience.'

If this is what we are doing for leveling, then she will take Comprehend Languages for her spell.

Current spells memorized: Sleep, Protection From Evil.


I'll go catch up and post in the game thread now.

Víxl: did you move or just go on vacation? Which city?

It was a move, to Philadelphia. Now I am all settled, and won't move again for at least another few months. ^_^

I have accepted a Clinical Support and Stabilization (CSS) recovery counselor position at a treatment center. This is a 24/7 facility and I will be working there Sunday through Thursday. I have every reason to expect that I will no longer be updating this game (nearly) on a daily basis.

We'll be here when you're ready/available.  :)

Good luck with the new position!

Congrats!

Understood & congratulations!

Gratulare!

Very much congratulations! Hopefully it is all you had expected!

(Also, this thread is almost full.)
