Dungeon 11 Turn 39
————
After helping Kamau navigate the trap-filled room, Ricki returns to the workshop/prison and uses the gathered items to assemble a bomb. It looks pretty powerful, but as an improvised device it’ll either need some advanced setup or cooperation from someone else in order to use it effectively. Ricki picks up the bomb, as well as the battlesmith’s hammer and the recipe, leaving her two spare rings of aggression on the ground to make sure she has room. The golem core, rope, and one box of parts were used up crafting the bomb.
After leaving his wand behind in the kennels and picking up the stray arrows from the golem room, Mac joins Ricki.
Amadeusz unlocks the bedroom using the keys nearby on the floor. Kamau joins him shortly after.

GOLEM CORE BOMB
Tool
Can be dropped somewhere and then detonated with fire, dealing 10 holy damage to anything near it. Can destroy various dungeon elements, but not walls or floors.
Weight 1, Value 30
Ricki: Head right, then right again. Point out the ladder rung trap to Mac while avoiding it. Grab the Wand of Mending on the ground and head up to join Kamau and Amadeusz.
Mac: Pick up the Bow and two Silver Rings of Atk. Head right, then right again. Avoid traps as you end your turn by the rat tunnel in the Kennel.
Kamau: Investigate what’s under Bed #1. If it’s loot you can’t carry, drop the Longsword to make room.
Amadeusz: Investigate what’s under Bed #2. If it’s loot you can’t carry, drop the Battleaxe to make room.

Turn 40 is here, which means our time is coming to an end. Time to finish up lootin and get to scootin.
It is very slightly inconvenient to blow up the bomb now. I say we save it for future terroristic exploits. I would not be opposed to sending Ricki on a run to grab a torch so we can blow this thing up on the Kobold door though.
Mac stores the bow in Golly’s packs and stacks the two rings in his own inventory. (Just in case this is not obvious.)
Kamau: “If it’s possible, end your turn” ??
“terroristic”: You wanted to write “fighting for freedom” or “rebellious” or something like that, right? Do not scare Maca more than necessary.
Mushroom 1: When we told characters to read something, they were always able to do it. We do not know whether, for example, Golly can read (without reading glasses). Even if that would be the case, the missing ability to communicate the content of the writing would render the reading useless, probably. Cordy can read and communicate. What about Mushroom 1? Let’s find out by asking #1 to read the note. (Yes, we already know its content. This is just a reading test.)
Upvoted Sick’s suggestion.
But I’d not oppose talking to or casing the Imp. We gotta learn what the little devil can offer us, from a purely mechanical gameplay perspective.
