Smoldering Wizard's Old-School Gaming Forums

Slay still and try not to do anything clumsy, Salty hisses, holding up a hand.

He grabs his tools & looks for any signs of wires, pressure plates or other nefarious constructions.

Salty shivers, slaps imaginary slime off his head and shoulders. He sparks a torch and hands it to the wizard.

Would you illuminate out path while while I scrub around in the muck, old wise one?

Which path are you taking down to level 2? So far you have mapped three ways down.

Salty heads toward the stairs on the western side of the dungeon.

Berthold takes out a coin and examines it. There are tails on this thing? That one does, Salty says, flipping the coin and slapping his wrist to reveal a 9-tailed kitsune. This one, he says, pulling a large silver coin from behind Tholdy's knee has a lusty wench on each side. Very useful in a taver...

Salty pulls a coin from his pouch.

Heads we look around here. Tails we go deeper.

He flips the coin.

Salty's fine with waiting. It'll give him a chance to get in some gambling, baking, and house breaking

Edited because waiting autocorrected to wiring and we all know Salty failed his electrical inspection & testing certificate.

The bonus to save option is pretty cool, but isn't going to wreck game balance. Thanks Doug

Make a shield out of it like in Dragonslayer. I had a DM allow me to have armor made from a dragon we slew. He fudged and it was presented to me after the big climatic battle (which itself was epic). So no in-game advantages. Shield is my next option. I figured it might benefit Tholdy if we end up ...

250xp for sweet-talking a dragon? Thanks Doug! That puts salty up to third level and the dice gods award him a massive 1hp. Hurrah!

Out of curiousity, is the dragon scale big enough to be crafted into halfling armour?

Maybe Uzzu is right, Salty ponders, P'raps we should collect those gems and rest up for a bit before going any further.
