Dungeon 15 Turn 28
————
Lara returns to the strange-shaped room and ferries first Ricki and then Daisy back to the entrance. The drider tries to attack again during this, but can’t seem to throw someone who’s being carried and deals no damage with his attack (the purple widows had returned to their normal position and do not join in).
Once safely back at the first room, Ricki uses her Case ability to see what’s inside the puzzle chest. She doesn’t see any items she can identify, only yet another spider. It looks similar to the purple widows, but with a lighter colour scheme. Is this just an ambush waiting if you manage to do whatever the chest requires in order to open it?
Ricki heads up the central ladder.
The entire party gathers once again in a previously-cleared room. Amadeusz eats one last piece of meat, recovering to full health. Sue uses her wand of mend to restore 2 HP to Daisy.
But wait… the entire party? Where’s Lara?
Lara remains transfixed in the entrance room after considering the spider idol. She feels compelled to protect it. Protect…
Lara will no longer trade, drop, or sell the spider idol while in the dungeon.
Aw no. At least she has poison resistance.
Oooh so THATS how to make idol work on non-spiders
Lara: Move up. Move right. Walk right up to the arachnomancer’s face and smugly flaunt your ownership of the idol for his consideration. Too bad he’ll never get your precious without prying it off your cold dead hands!
Ricki: Equip dodge ring. Move right. Point at web and destroy it. Scout right.
Sue: Equip death robes. Move right. Throw shocktail at arachnomancer from as far as possible.
Amad: Move right. Attack arachnomancer.
We are officially improvising right now but I think that’s all we can do.
Using an action to display the idol seems like fair compensation for a taunt effect. Here’s hoping LSN feels the same way
Spider fren? ;w; do we know how to do the puzzle?
Let’s get Lara more idols
