Dungeon 11 Turn 12
————
The party gathers where the golem used to stand and organizes their gear. They leave behind most of their imperial items to make room for the regular stuff they can resell later. Macadamia also drops the birthday cake on the floor again before healing Kamau for 1 HP with the wand of mending.
Amadeusz puts away his unwieldy weapon and checks the room to the left.
He doesn’t see any sign of roaming guards, despite the fact that Ricki has been insisting there are some in here. So where are they?
Amadeusz returns to the room on the right.
Basic plan (just so we don’t have none, extremely open to improvement).
Mac: Mend Kamau further.
Kamau: pick up cake (to avoid accidentally wasting the Mend)
Ricki, throw a fallen imperial sword at the imperial flag.
Amadeusz: scout left and up one screen
Discord thinks the guards may have either gone up or left the dungeon for some inscrutable reason.
The facts remain that Amadeusz can handle them if he encounters them, Kamau still needs mending and eating cake, and we do want to figure out throwing mechanics.
Guards and rats have either killed each other, or the guards moved up to centipedes.
Plan: Heal and move back up before going to basement later.
Mac: Heal Kamau with Wand again.
Kamau: wait until after mended, then Eat cake off ground (5 turn rule!) and move left.
Ricki: Move left and throw axe at set of keys. avoid falling axe.
Amad: Move left to Chandelier and then Up ladder to centipede room.
This should confirm guard location and hopefully get us another set of keys that mac can scoop up with the axe next turn. Kamau will have HP again and we will be ready to move on.
Wouldn’t rats appear at the tables again right now? And we need the axe as weapon and value for the dungeon goal.
The rats appear to show up every five turns, and even if they do, they won’t attack upon respawn.
I would specify that Kamau should wait until mended before eating. Just in case.
I’ve made the change.
Although Healing happens all at once so I think as long as Kamau was 3 or less on the current turn then it should still work. Similar to how all attacks happen at once.
I agree it should… But you never really know …. Thanks.
It just occured to me that rats probably did not kill guards, as there would be imperial swords/armor on the ground if true.
Oh, I am 100% sure the guards didn’t die. As a note:
If the rats respawn every five turns.
And
If we need four blood rats on screen to open the chest.
Then we need at least 6-11 turns of no patrols passing through that table and disrupting our jackpot attempts.
Kamau is at 2hp, and can be mended to up to 4hp before eating the cake. Let us not waste cake or mends or hit points.
