[x] FIGHT

 

[samdamandias]

You draw your sword and meet the dogs' charge with your own.

You and your skeletons lay into the hounds with a flurry of blows, hacking and slashing until your thrust severs the spine and animating energies of the final zombie. This was not so much a fight as some very energetic taxidermy. The undead dogs did not land a single scratch on you or your skeletons. You normally have a slightly tougher time of things, but this was not so much heating the butter knife as loosing a PYROMANCER in a creamery.

You gain +1 STR and 1 MINOR HEALTH POTION. Your STR MOD has increased!

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

Since HPs don't come back naturally, there is no point in hoarding potions.

Click to shrink...

Certain skill trees, like AVID SCHOLAR, DEMONOLOGY, or RESTORATION have ways to restore HP. So it's not that there isn't, it's just that you, a solo mapper, don't have a way to gain HP in the dungeon outside of chugging potions.

You already looted the room, that is how you got the health potion.

You head WEST. This room is empty, but a quick search turns up a MINOR STAMINA POTION.

The door to the SOUTH is a sturdy hardwood, with runes of endurance and security formed by the pattern of the iron nails. You may attempt COUNTERSPELL, SMASH the door, or BACKTRACK. If you fail to COUNTERSPELL or SMASH the door, you will need to BACKTRACK and will do so automatically.

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

 

[silentorphan]

[x] COUNTERSPELL the DOOR

Dregan has counter-spelling abilities? I mean, as a spellcaster, he should, but it never occurred to me that he does.

 

[ThatGazzer]

[x] COUNTERSPELL the DOOR

 

[nonrev]

[x] COUNTERSPELL the DOOR

Click to shrink...

If you can think of a better one-word action to indicate "Use ARCANE to bypass the magical lock in the same way that LOCKPICK works on physical locks" I am all ears.

You study the door, and direct small sparks of magic into certain key runes.

SKILL CHECK-ARCANE-PASSED

You gain +1 INT!

With the door unlocked, you and your skeletal entourage head SOUTH.

The room is mostly empty, but some searching does turn up a SCROLL OF IDENTIFY. Which would be quite handy if m͖̼͚̘̯̙̥͍͝a̴̼̱̤̹͙̫͈̖n̷̡̖̻͉a̴͈̕g̸͉͚̩̜͞ͅe̡̝̺̝̫͉̰̹̭m̷̗̗͕̤͓͉e̢͓̻̫̜̟n̮̜͈̳̲̘͘͢t had provided the tables for magic items, but you'll probably want to hang on to this for later.

It is not possible to SEARCH for secret doors right now. You must BACKTRACK to JI, II, or ML.

 

[TheBiggerFish]

why is it not possible to search for secret doors right now?

 

[Nevill]

[x] BACKTRACK to II

[x] BACKTRACK to II

 

[samdamandias]

why is it not possible to search for secret doors right now?

Click to shrink...

You can only hunt for secret doors if you've explored everything you can reach and haven't found the stairs (or boss, if you are unlucky). It requires a room with at least one side free that does not have a door, but is automatically successful in that case, though it does take STAMINA

You turn and head back through the dungeon, your loyal skeletons and ZERO by your side.

It is yet another dead end. One might think that the builders of this place would have used a more sensible layout, but no, they just had to go with a maze of twisty little passages all alike.

The sole exit is to the WEST.

There are two packs of zombie dogs that start to untangle themselves as you enter the room. Will you FIGHT or RUN?

I'm going back to school, because screw doing tech support as a temp for the rest of my life, and classes have just started. Updates will likely get more sporadic, but we will get through at least the first floor.

SKILL CHECK-ESCAPE-PASSED

Nope! You are not dealing with this right now! You turn tail and book it, BONEYGUARD hauling the door shut just before the first of the undead hounds slams into it.

You successfully fled an encounter! You gain +1 DEX!

There are currently two rooms you know must exist in this dungeon, but have not explored yet. Do you want to BACKTRACK to JI or ML?
