Dungeon 18 Turn 1
————
Amadeusz uses a magic lens to identify one of the guards, while Ricki runs past a group of rats to reach a suspicious looking giant wingnut. She evades the two dire rats, taking no damage. She turns the nut as the group of four disguised Guards walk past, causing the chandelier to drop on the floor below and deal minor damage to all of them. She then sees them (yes, all four) attack the solar guardian, dealing some damage but taking a powerful attack in response. The lead guard’s disguise is shed.
Ricki then runs up the ladder to the room above.

GUARD, DISGUISED
HP: 8
Atk: 1
Def: 1
Ability: transforms into a Guard at end of turn when reduced to 0 HP
A member of the Imperial Guard disguised as private security. When injured, they will drop the charade and fight in their full uniform, which is enough to give them a burst of stamina sufficient to ignore any wounds they’ve sustained. Their tactics are the same regardless of the colour of their armour.
Plan: Keep the path clear
Ricki: Flip the lever by the hole. Go through the hole after.
Amad: Sneak up the 2 ladders and lens the revealed imperial guard. Move back down to the bottom after.
We want to make sure the guards have an open path to continue the ascent and it looks like that door is barred on Ricki’s side. We need to find the correct lever before they finish the Solar fight or we’re juts wasting turns.
We also want to lens the guards so Amad gets a big buff vs them later and also frees up more space in case that chest has 2 items (so we wont waste actions there either).
Careful, there’s a roach of some sort between Ricki and that lever. Or do we think it will only attack if someone tries to open the chest?
There’s also a trap on the next level up in front of the dire rats, directly above the ladder.
Should we ask Ricky to steal a glance at the red poster?
maybe not, its probably for Amadeusz if Ricki dint feel a change in strength
We don’t have many turns to test it, but the +^^ talisman/banner/charm looks like the bottom is loose and not secured to the wall. It may be possible to tear them off the wall. Both have been on Ricki’s side, while there’s a red wanted poster in reach for both. I suspect the charm does something for the solar guardian, and maybe for any holy elementals/spells the guards bring.
The visible holes are not in line with each other, which is good news for how Ricki would otherwise have no other exits. We may need some backtracking to explore the first hole, though.
Presumably the lever over the chest and gate will open that gate, but it’s not clear what the lever by the chest will do; perhaps to open whatever gate is closed as part of opening the first gate. They’re only supposed to meet at the top.
I’ve missed dungeons so much
wait why do we have the nunchucoli
is that how the correct spelling of nunchocoli
I don’t know how to play anymore! Not that I ever actually knew, but now I’m completely lost.
Anyway, lets get all the loot, I guess.
