Dungeon 17 Turn 7
————
Mac passes through the room Ricki is in while she reads the text of the blue-covered books. They seem to include, among other things, the continuing history of the kobolds who lived here, and some figure Ricki assumes to be the dragon that ruled them.
“All is not well. The Glorious One has taken to consuming the writings of the library. She dictates that we must record our history of exile that She will ever have more to devour. We have no hope for survival but to indulge her whims.”
So far this is sounding pretty close to the stories Macadamia told her before. She was hoping she’d find… well, something different. But there are still a lot more books. She’s not ready to give up just yet.
Ricki has gained the Well Read II ability.
Mac throws his javelin at another one of the flying books, but misses as it flaps through the air.
MAC!
Throw with your eyes OPEN! lol
Plan: caution
Ricki: point out the trapdoor to Mac. Avoid it and move right. Attack one of the red books
Mac: avoid the trap and move right.
Reason why I’m not reading blue book: worm would attack and with the green books parting attack that’s a lot of dmg since Mac has a scroll on him.
Reason why we’re not using dig: that may make noise and the blue book may animate. Ruining macs chance at well read.
Also don’t want Mac to get near the red books. 3 of them attacking him would be fatal, or set us back a few rounds
Next turn we blue.
There is no risk to Mac but this plan gets Ricki attacked by 3 books cuz she is more literate than Mac now and lens said books will attack the more literate.
But it didn’t attack her last turn. She’s also not engaged like Mac is And she can tank and attack of 15 if I’m wrong.
Plan: Don’t rush, we can clean up this side first
Ricki: Point ladder trap to Mac. Move up. Point floor trap then read red books. Go back to ladder, pointing floor trap again.
Mac: Follow Ricki up, avoiding traps. Offer your enchanted scroll as food(and distraction) to worm. Go back to ladder, avoiding floor trap again.
This read the last book on this side safely, so next turn we can grab the chest and clear the green flying book we just missed. This way, Ricki only has to tank the 2 red books when we go for bottom right room afterwards.
The only drawback to getting red first this way is that the Red book for Mac will be top right room, so either Ricki will need to follow Mac to point out traps or he takes the hole (via Dig) and Ricki walks him back to the gate (or past a worm). Either way theres going to be downtime turns with few actions. Although that probably will happen no matter the order we do…
