Dungeon 15 Turn 20
————
Ricki, Lara, and Amadeusz quickly defeat the remaining two spiders without taking any damage. Sue and Ricki then pick up the loot from the battle: a venom blade, silk armour, and an arachnomancer helm. Sue then looks at the poison brazier, checks her notes that she DEFINITELY SHOULDN’T HAVE ACCESS TO, and explains what it does.
“This is a poison brazier! It makes poison spells cast nearby more powerful, but only if you’re loyal to the Goddess of Spiders.”
“It can also serve as destination for a specific kind of teleportation spell. So somebody who knows one could pop over to one of these at any time!”
“We don’t NEED to do anything with them, but any brazier we destroy means one less hallway we might have to check out later!”
“It can also be used as a destination for a summoning spell, which means that respawning spiders are gonna appear next to one!”
*poof*
“Like that!”
“Each brazier has 10 HP and 8 Def, and deals 5 poison damage to anyone who damages it.”
As Sue finishes explaining, the brazier flares up and two more spiders appear! Also, the defeated arachnomancer turns into a drider and stands back up, but fortunately, it doesn’t have any of its gear since the party stole it all.
Spoiler is op.
I am very satisfied with the results.
Plan: extermination
Lara: one shot spider 1 with siegesword
Amad: attack spider 2 with claws.
Sue. Throw shocktail at spider 2.
Ricki: equip both attack rings. Attack drider.
Golly: kick drider
Daisy: bite drider.
This should clear all 3. Ricki does 12, golly does 4, daisy does 4 (wolf buff). That’s 20 dmg vs it’s 18 dmg to one shot. Ricky is still the smallest character so drider will focus her while spider focus their attacks on attackers (like widow and drider did in main chamber.
Oh so no one wanted to use the spoiler ability on the braziers when I suggested it on turn 8 but now on turn 20 it’s the cool thing to do.
Considering your name and history, I think “we” might have taken your suggestion at turn 8 the wrong way 😀 TBH I think it was a fair suggestion. Didn’t downvote 😉
I was sure about summoning spiders and some other things, like, braziers being involved in the boss fight, but my, this surprised me. It’s not that the boss can summon reinforcements from the braziers – it can teleport to a random brazier ad we’ve gotta do the benny hill run after it each time guessing where to go to. Geesh. Brillant idea LSN!
The drider is like “WTF MAN! I was only taking a nap!”
