Dungeon 6 Turn 21
————
Macadamia sets his collection of keys down next to the candy and debris, then attempts to climb up the portrait. However, it isn’t the fancy carved kind with lots of handholds, and also it wobbles a lot even from the weight of a kobold. He’ll probably need something sturdier to climb on.
Ricki goes back upstairs and wades into the group of skeletons. She attacks the one wielding a rusty sword, dealing moderate damage. She takes no damage even from all four of them ganging up. It seems the strange spooky aura has indeed fled.
Lara and Lohk go to the kitchen and eat food off the floor. Lara recovers 2 HP and Lohk recovers 1. Also, although Lara is a little grossed out by eating a perfectly delicious steak that’s been sitting on the floor, Lohk is perfectly happy eating mold-encrusted cheese no matter where she finds it. That’s a goblin delicacy, that is.
Lohk then rides Daisy around the dungeon in search for what might have changed when she moved that bookcase.
She also checks the crawlspace.
Ricki keep attacking
Lara attack dog skeleton group (with Lohk joining in attacking at range)
Mac investigate another bookshelf
Lara would need to double move to get up there.
Lohk: Head back up to the kitchen and eat the remaining floor cheese.
Lara: Head over to the entryway and eat your inventory steak.
Ricki: Finish off the rusty sword skeleton.
Macadamia: Search the last bookshelf on the first level of the library.
This gets everybody fully healed up and ready to start moving on. I think having Lara grab the candy and keys next turn is smart, then we can have grab the keys in the library while we keep working on killing enemies. Once we are healed and clear the inventory group we can tackle the rats and dire wolf.
Upvoted, but: Should we have Lohk dismantle that dog skeleton while she’s there? Once that’s done there will be no need to ever come back to the crawlspace.
And just to state it for the record: I don’t see that anything has changed in any of the rooms we visited this turn. So the click did something in either the tomb room or the couch room, or else it did something we can’t see. Or maybe it’s a red herring and did nothing.
Honest question, is there any reason we don’t go for the owlbear to help clear this room? That assumes the keys in this room unlock this door though. Granted, the big bat and the kidney pincher will likely count for the big skulls I admit. But we know how the owlbear works and we know we can safely attack it with our current crew.
We know we can beat the owlbear and will be at max strength right now. I think the owlbear can be beaten at any time so it’s better to focus on the more difficult fights it seems like we will have to tackle in any case. It’s definitely an option though. I just sorta assume the keys won’t work.
(never mind)
This should read library group not inventory group, but I’m a dumb dumb.
Do you think Lara, or anyone, really can simply “grab” the whole pile of loose candies? For me it looks like we may need a bucket here. It’s halloween, right? Kids don’t run around without some bag or basket 😉
Lara needs to double move to get to those skellies if she’s in bottom of kitchen
Does anyone else think the click from the bookcase was for the big safe? Can we get Lara to lift lohk to try to open it?
Yup. Me. I think it would be a bit too easy, but who knows.
I’d also see the note pinned by dagger, maybe the combo is on the underside 🙂
Ricki: finish off rust sword Skelly.
Lara. Move to main room and lift lohk up to open safe. Eat steak in Inventory after if possible.
Mac: go up to library and search bookcase
lhok: go to main entrance and try to open safe with Lara’s help. If still locked, try to see what it needs to open.
We’ve checked the rooms and no obvious cause of the click sound. We never actually tried opening the safe yet and I don’t want us feeling dumb later for not trying.
Lohk: move through tunnel, then go left and take a look at the sarcophagus chamber.
Ricki: Attack the same Skeleton to unbreak your weapon.
Lara: Go left. Eat more Meat.
Maca: Attack a different Skeleton.
Lohk: Pick up and eat more Cheese from the Kitchen and eat it in the Entrance room.
Wolf Spider: Attack the Skeleton Maca is attacking.
This is thisnameismeta’s plan with Maca and the Wolf Spider attacking instead of Maca searching a bookcase. Maca and the Wolf Spider together can kill a Skeleton and, if the attacks are truly random, I think there’s only about a 10% chance for the Sword Skeleton and another Skeleton to both attack the Wolf Spider. With our luck though, 10% is more like 50%.
Lohk: Destroy that dog skeleton before you leave
