Dungeon 15 Turn 26
————
The entire party reconvenes long enough to trade their items around. Lara ends up with a new combat kit, Ricki changes clothes, and Amadeusz gets rid of the idol that he’s pretty sure is trying to kill him.
While that’s happening, Princess idly chews on the scenery and ends up stepping on a trick ladder rung. He falls and bonks him widdle head, taking 2 unblockable damage.
After trading, Lara carries Princess back to the entrance room.
Ricki: Head down, then right. Point out the ladder rung trap to Lara and check to see if you can get over the ramp in the middle of the room. Then go back and stand by the Drider. Finally, head left back to the entrance and go Case the Puzzle Chest, avoiding the ladder rung trap along the way.
Sue: Head right. Lens the itsby bitsy Gargantula
Wolf: Eat more meat.
Lara: Head right. Crawl around the room through the Drider (avoid the ladder rung trap) and the Purple Widows and loot the upsidedown chest. If you need more space for whatever’s inside, ditch the Venom Blade. Then return to the entrance room.
–
Ricki is potentially getting hit by the Drider so we can see if they would prioritize her over Lara who has the Idol. Casing the Puzzle Chest for some insight into the requirements to open it, and if its a Weapon/Armor/Shield, then Sue gets +1 Defense.
Should you specify that Lara carries princess?
Do we think Princess is going to jump to their death if we don’t specify Lara carries them?
Jing might be thinking of T7, when Princess got left behind. Probably that happened because Lara was carrying Ricki and Daisy, but I don’t think that was ever stated explicitly.
Awww man I wanted Princess to be riding Lara when biting exactly to save him from falling >.<
It was a good idea, but it seems like there’s no way to disarm a trap without paying some kind of price, whether it’s using up a set of thieves’ tools or taking damage.
ookay.. I guess that a false ladder rung uses fall damage, depends on height, so on a *tall* ladder may be one of the most deadliest traps (oO)
Abandon dungeon, take princess to the reptilianarian.
