“Quit skulking in that alley, we can all see you.”
“Okay, okay. We’re not here to cause any trouble.”
“We’re actually here for the dungeon. We heard you were having problems with undead getting out?”
“Well, we have experience with this sort of thing. We can head in there and see what we can do to help, if that’s all right with you.”
“Just the two of you? No offense, but I’m pretty sure you’d be overwhelmed and killed immediately. We get a few dozen skeletons wandering out of there a day, alone or in pairs, but they’re packed wall to wall inside.”
“Hold on, now. Take another look at them. Don’t they remind you of them stories of adventurers and dungeoneers, back before the Guard took it all over?”
“Hmm. You might be on to something. That human IS pretty asymmetrical, just like the old stories say.”
“Hey, do you two have powers and magic and stuff?”
“Buddy.”
“We have powers, AND magic, AND stuff.”
“AND… flowers.”
“Good enough for me.”
ricki’s ability to break shit is her magic
Packed wall to wall, you say? Let’s see what Dungeon Eyes have to say about that.
Enemy targeting will be pretty important for large groups, Ricki’s newfound durability only helps if we can allocate those hits carefully.
Actually, if I remember well, in out previous cellar-dungeon, there were exactly two places with the undead. One tiny “balcony” with a chest and a single skeleton (and not really much space for anything else), and one tiny room with pipe and valve tightly packed up with 4 skeletons…
…so maybe indeed in this world the undead tend to fill up the whole available space as much as possible? 🙂
a… monkey person? Can we get his/her name and will we see them again in the future? Was he/she talking of just nodding?
Also, I kind of like how the “guards” are concerned for our well-being (to some extent).
(And my brains are torn between the association of the three stooges – nyuk nyuk nyuk – and the association of the three headed monkey from the PC game Monkey Island – yes, I’m -that- old. ^_^* – when I see these three.)
@Ricki: what kind of magic do you have? I don’t rember anything -magical- about either of you. (…other than the magic of friendship, perhaps. XD )
I guess that’s possibly where the recruit from the kobold warrens would have come in. if we had gotten them first…
I guess by magic she meant “Dungeon Eyes” ability. Or does it count as power? I dunno.
Given Kam’s reaction.. yes, definitely.
A pirate I was meant to be! Trim the sails and roam the sea! xD
I maybe she’s talking about the ability to regain health (grit).
Kamau’s dauntless ability looks like magic. That’s probably what she means.
