Date: Year of the Feathered Death. Lover’s Moon. Day of the Swan
Brief Account: After a 6 day rest in Londolond, The party was joined by three new characters: Winlec the human fighter, Friguse the human magic user, and Evanny the human cleric. Today the “Order of the White Fox & Friends” fought and killed a wandering Ogre with a treasure sack (+100 GP). Heh, some might consider them “Great Americans.” The Ogre slew Winlec and Evanny.
Barrick and the Foxes moved on to explore strange, new areas of the map. Area 15 was a trick: a descending stretch of passage that deposited the party 100 feet down and onto the 3rd level.
Now the group is in a bind. They don't know what level they are on. They don't know that the elevator section will rise to the 1st level in 60 turns (ten hours). They have limited food, water and torches. Do they try to climb back up? Do they look for another way out? Are they all just freakin Doomed? Only time will tell.
Here’s the new map.
Tough decisions! Priority 1 is to find a way back to the surface, but what if this is the only way to level 3? Seems like the best option is to break into two groups, one to scout and one to wait to see if the trap resets. The scout group should have all the food as they risk getting trapped on Level 3 if the floor ascends while they are away.
ReplyDeleteAnother option would be to attempt a climb back up to Level 1 by the most dexterous of the adventurers so they could anchor a rope the rest could climb up. This assumes the group has enough rope to make this feasible.
I look forward to finding out what they do.
Thanks for the options. I’ll need to consult the dice on this one.
