Dungeon 9 Turn 5
————
While Ricki and Botanya split up to do other stuff, Kamau covers Botanya from arrow fire while she inspects the two pots on the ground. If she had more cultural context, she would probably assume they were burial urns of some sort, containing remains and perhaps some small valuables intended as an offering to some god. She would further posit that although whatever body parts were stored inside have likely shrivelled away to nothing by now, any precious metals would be just as good as the day they were sealed inside.
But Botanya doesn’t know any of those things. All she knows is that she could totally smash both these pots right now if she felt like it.
Ricki finishes off the last skeleton in the upper room.
Lara takes the pick from the poor dead kobold lying on the ground. She wonders what they might have been trying to do. Mac would probably have a better idea, if only he were here. Lara wonders what he’s doing right now…
(You don’t get to see what she’s imagining.)
Botanya explores a new room to the right. Nothing of note here, as far as she can tell.
Kamau: Stand right below the bats in your room, being the closest person to them. CLEAVE bats that approach with hilt, starting with fire bats.
Lara: Go right. Go down stairs just one level, go left until you are at the gray slab, snipe a fire bat (either third ou fourth bat from left to right) with venomous sting, from as far out as you can.
Ricki: Go down and pull lever after Lara is in position outside the slabs.
Botanya: play the pipes, try to get zombat not to hit you.
Golly: chill.
Flytrap: attack a regular bat that wasn’t hit yet.

Maybe have lara snipe a reg bat. They have+1def roosting and fire bats prob have more that 1 hp . Our melee attacks are big enough to one shot the fire but damaging one won’t help clear them faster
Posted variant A-2.
Plan B: deal with zombat.
Lara goes right and moves lever)
Kamau moves right, attacks zombat and has flytrap attack zombat.
Botanya plays pipes to stop zombat from hitting.
Ricki goes to zombat room and attacks zombat along with pet.

There is a depression in the bottom floor in the new room, just left of the ladder. Could be a trap, could be “thin” floor that we can break through with a pick.
Also the unlocked chest behind the green guy with red eyes (also bottom level of the new room) is a trap, most likely firing crossbow bolts.
Please take this into account for your future plans. 🙂
It is hard to see because it is the same color as the wall but the depression appears to be a pressure plate. If you are correct about the chest, that may be the trigger.
this would be an excellent time to test if we can activate pressure plates with lara poison ray, though maybe have everyone go up the ladder first.
It would be Strange to have the trap hit the ghoul in the back when triggered tho. Maybe it’s just activates when opened and the pressure plate is more of a weakened floor to break through
