Dungeon 18 Turn 8
————

Ricki pulls the lever again, making sure that Amadeusz gets out of the locked room first. Amadeusz then shapeshifts and continues up the nearby ladder and runs past the combat. The guard notices and shouts angrily, but has already committed to combat with the solar guardian and cannot pursue at this time.

In the room above, Amadeusz notes that the wanted posters are becoming increasingly redundant. Likely a display of paranoia.




Plan 1: Loot and Scoot
Amad: Climb up ladder and go flip the lever.
Ricki: Go through the hole and loot the owlbear chest. Go up ladder and avoid both mouse traps. Got through newly revealed hole.
This gets a chest and lets us see new (hopefully last) room.
Plan 2: Flip and Scoot
Amad: Climb up ladder and go flip the lever.
Ricki: Flip the lever by the hole, barring the door again. Go through hole. Go up ladder and avoid both mouse traps. Got through newly revealed hole
We slow the T10 patrol but ignore the owlbear chest (for now). If we want it we have to risk damage again.
….theres gonna be a boss that gets bonus dmg for every poster in the dungeon, isn’t there?
That would be surprising, given that we can’t effect the posters. I think they’re just there for flavor
Hmm, I think the Solar is guaranteed a parting shot, so even if the guard does try to follow then they’re still killed. We could still attempt to wipe out the Solar with the chandelier, but Amadeusz doesn’t have the inventory to grab any loot.
The Dungeon Madness claims another one.
Hey guys, we’re trying to figure out how Ricki took 1 damage from 3 dire rats last turn on discord. Anyone here got any idea?
Based on previous dungeons, dire rats do 2 dmg each normally so should be 6 total.
Ricki has 1 base 3 armor 1 proficiency 2 helm 2 shield 3 purse = 12 defense so 3 dire rats = 13 dmg somehow??
Ideas floated:
King rat give all rats in dungeon +2 dmg? but that’d be 12 total, not 13
One wanted poster is goblin? but ricki never noticed any weakness
Broken idol buffing enemies? but its only -2 def.
Dire rats have a buff when big group like swarmfish? but there’s no text about them being extra vicious like for swarmfish
Help plz!
