Smoldering Wizard's Old-School Gaming Forums

You head back to the dungeon after healing up for a week or so. Salty is now even saltier, and you have a new companion - Twig the honest-I'm-just-a-rogue-not-an-assassin.

Does someone want to run Suspos? Might be better that way, we can even make him a full-fledged PC if someone wants it.

Where to?

I can run Suspo for you, if no one else wants him

Salty reckons we should head back to where One Eye was stomping around, find out what that key opens.

Berthold agrees with Salty on our destination.

Take a look at the party status, particularly the marching order and weapons in hand, and let me know if it needs to change.

@Jimbo I posted the bbcode for Suspos in the character creation thread.

Schmidt also agrees!

Just catching up, was away this weekend

You light some torches and head south, back to the cyclops room without any encounters. You see the bucket of goop in the SE corner, and the dark stain at the top of the stairs.



Actions?

Salty, nervous around sludge & slime, crouched by the stain and takes a look.

Suspo strokes his chin, looks westward. Mayhap we should investigate yon corridor. Those ichorous fiends what so thoroughly stripped our rat-like cut-purse would present fine giardians for the cyclopian goons finery.

Rat like? Wizard, is your last name Satori,, because I'm starting to think you should shove it up your...

Sorry. Been sitting on that gag for ages & it's not even very good.

Now that would be a bitter pill, remarks Berthold. Although not one to swallow.

The hallway is fine, but I wonder about these steps down. And the door east. Since we’ve explored the hall somewhat, perhaps we head down these steps.

Does our new companion have insight into the stain? So long as it isn’t poison we should be safe enough…

Salty examines the stain at the top of the stairs - it appears to be smeared grease or fat of some kind, with two tracks running north/south through it, as if something was dragged across it to the edge of the stairs.

Actions?

You got it, Tholdy. Salty salutes before creeping down the stairs, checking for traps, tricks, and icky green snot.

Suspo waits for the more heavily armoured folks to move on before grabbing the mule's reins* and following along.


* reins? Bridle? Lead? I know embarrassingly little about horse stuff.
