Dungeon 3 Turn 31
————
Kamau one again strikes down a skeleton at full health, while Ricki fires an experimental holy bolt at one that has a grave flower growing out of it. The beflowered skeleton crumbles instantly at the lightest touch. The flower on its head withers immediately upon the skeleton’s destruction.
Ricki beams with pride at having finally oneshot a skeleton.
Ricki: Zap the remaining flowered skeleton.
Kamau: Borrow Ricki’s throwing dagger and try to knock down that skeleton hanging off the ledge above.
Food for thought: If you use the throwing dagger to try and get the skeleton down, you might get the dagger stuck up there (either instead of the skeleton or WITH it – the skeleton not moving at all and us having to retrieve the dagger).
I would rather try to knock down the skeleton with Ricki’s holy shot (while Kamau can still one-shot the beflowered skeleton super easily). It might not work, but at least we wouldn’t have to play fetch with the missle…
Abstract of Gatheringingredients’ and CommonMarble’s suggestions:
Kamau: one-shot the beflowered skeleton – maybe this way saves the flower.
Ricki: Move somewhat to the left (to not get hit from anything from above) and then zap the skeleton hanging off the ledge above.
One thing to keep in mind if we do try this (or any variation on “throw the dagger at the skeleton”):
RICKI FOR [insert relevant god(ess) from the setting]‘S SAKE DO NOT STAND DIRECTLY UNDERNEATH THE OVERHANG. WHAT COMES UP COMES STRAIGHT DOWN.
Ricki: move left two rooms
Kamau: move left and climb over chandelier. Move left again
When we head back, I’d like to try barricading the path under the chandelier with the lectern.
Aw flower’s gone. No burying skulls with flowers.
..or hey, we have one free unused skull left. Up there on balcony. Maybe flower would attach to that and allow us continue this experiment (oh science!). But we have no more free flowers left. So, this means the experiment is halted for now? I wouldnt touch the last flower unless we’re diggin that grave for treasures or special effects
Kamau: carefully separate skeleton’s head from the body.
