[samdamandias]

You head NORTH.

You enter a round room. Exits are SOUTH and WEST.

There are two CORRUPT PRIEST standing by the WEST door, their vestments tattered and faded. They stride towards you.

Will you FIGHT or RUN?

Now, purely hypothetically, because you seem to be a tad belligerent and will probably pick FIGHT if the last three monsters were any indication, if you choose to run, again, purely hypothetically, you would need to make an ESCAPE check, and, if successful would count as resolving the encounter using the ancient method of GTFO. If you failed the check, combat would happen anyway.

 

[silentorphan]

In the time-worn tradition of "being too lazy to backtrack"...

[x] FIGHT

The way I see it we can't map this thing properly unless we explore everything, which means only RUNNING if we hit a dead end. We have hit a dead end so far but ended up trying to muck about with controlling undead instead so didn't run there, although we maybe should have.

We'll see what happens when we hit the next dead end, yes?

 

[samdamandias]

The monsters rush toward you, clubs a-glow with foul energies.

You toss out a quick hex before summoning a pair of Skeletons with which to defend yourself.

The CORRUPT PRIESTs continue their advance, and you meet it with one of your own, sword thrusting out and catching one of them through the ribs. On a normal human, such a blow would almost invariably be fatal, and so to it is with the creature as it slumps off your blade.

BONEYGUARD steps forward, and with some deft footwork and skillful feints, cleaves the foes head from their shoulders, allowing the once-again-lifeless corpse to fall to the ground.

Folded in the belt of one of the corpses is a pair of sturdy GLOVES. You are not currently wearing anything on your ARMS, so you equip the GLOVES.

You gain +1 WIS.

Given that you keep choosing to push further into the dungeon, instead of backtracking, you head WEST.

A group of SKELETON ARCHERS begin stringing up their bows as you enter.

You are in a room with exits to the NORTH, SOUTH, and EAST. Will you FIGHT or RUN?

[samdamandias]

Alright, looks like you'll be trying to run. If you fail, you can still try escaping during combat. Give me 1d20 for the ESCAPE check, please.

 

[silentorphan]

🎲

silentorphan threw 1 20-faced dice. Total: 9

 

[ThatGazzer]

That...

that doesn't feel great

 

[EternalStruggle]

That...

that doesn't feel great

Click to shrink...

It's an almost perfectly average result. A mere single point below average. Not great, no, but not terrible either.

 

[samdamandias]

ESCAPE check Failed!

You turn and try to run, but the archers are faster. Pain lances along your leg as the arrow hits home, making you stumble. That puts you in line or the second arrow to catch you in the ribs. It feels like it bounced off of the bone, which is good because it means it won't get lodged, but is also bad because it hurts. You struggle to bring your shield up to block the final arrow.

There is nothing for it. You turn and lunge, shadow flickering around your blade as you hack and stab.

Whoever put these together must have skipped on the reinforcement, because once you get your blade on them, they just kind of fall apart.

You gain +1STR! You find a SHORT SWORD. You currently have a BUCKLER in your OFF HAND.

Exits are NORTH, SOUTH, and EAST. You have already explored EAST.

[EternalStruggle]

Thank god they decided to try and get closer to us or we could have been in serious trouble.

[X] Go SOUTH

Room already looted, we found a short sword. Not sure what to use it for but we have it.

 

[samdamandias]

You head SOUTH.

The corridor turns to the right, leading you to a wooden door. A search turns up nothing else in the room. Testing the door reveals that it is locked. The door does not look to be especially sturdy, and does not look to have any sort of traps or magical wards.

You may attempt BURN, LOCKPICK, or SMASH the door or BACKTRACK. If you fail to BURN, LOCKPICK, or SMASH the door, you will need to BACKTRACK and will do so automatically.

Exits are NORTH and WEST. You have already explored NORTH.

 

[Nevill]

[x] BURN the door.

 

[POTDL]

[X] LOCKPICK The Door.

 

[silentorphan]

[x] SMASH the DOOR with BONEYGUARD
