DnD Thu Ep#71(277) Played Mar 21, 2019 (Ches 8, 1490) Mummies!

INTRODUCTION

Since A) we’re at a critical crossroads, 

B) some (a lot of) regular players can’t make it and 

C) it often helps teams to collaborate 

when introducing new characters …

We focused this week 

on letting Ann, Erik and Loanne 

work on character generation, 
and for those who were 

available ... a little excitement to keep you on your toes.

SCENE 01

Having escaped the DEATH KNIGHTS and the HELL HOUNDS and EVEN a nasty ALKILITH, the remnants of the party (CLOVER is back in or near the Lower Anvil Room) finds itself in a 50' x 50' chamber with a large fire burning in the middle of the room, two closed doors in the East and West walls and a large archway in the North wall leading into inky darkness. No sooner does the party have a moment to catch its breath and begin to formulate the question "So NOW what do we do?", in the blink of an eye, they find themselves in ...

COMBAT ROUND 1

The space in which you find yourself is a 30'x30' stone cube with a closed wooden door in the NW corner.  Part of the ceiling has collapsed into the room, and someone has scrawled "The Fellowship of the White Wand killed a mummy here" on the west wall. 

Two mummies stand silently for a split second in the NW corner in front of the closed door ... before each begins to move.

EXPLORATION

Having done away with the mummies, the trio of spell casters sets about exploring the 30x30x30 room, finding some text scrawled on the wall claiming that a party had killed a mummy here (the Deep Hammers add their own text claiming their TWO mummy kills)

RESULTS (SHORT FORM)

• The trio explores the room and finds a secret door in the NE corner
• They explore cautiously a couple hundred feet from both doors and decide to lock the NW door (closed) and explore down the "secret" passage. 
• They eventually detect (GILAM) a electrified panel trap in the floor and have to get clever to find a way to get VERALT over the trap, since he doesn't have spider climb or boots of "get me outta this mess!". 
• Freeze quarter staff in time and space and uses that to climb over the tile the square WEST of the trap.

IN OTHER NEWS

• CLOVER starts off in the first bit of corridor leading away from the LOWER ANVIL ROOM, by himself, enjoying the last of a very tasty snack, and wondering why it suddenly got so quiet. 
• Moving North and West, CLOVER peers carefully around a corner and sees that the corridor is strewn with signs of combat and that he’s being approached by what appears to be a non-magical Paladin in a bad mood.  Uh-oh ... 
• Having dashed into the 50'x50' room with the others, HERBAK, LLYRIN and ARGUS immediately find themselves transported into an empty 90'x50’ room which has 3 visible doors and no other visible features and no natural light source. Hmmmmm. 
• What happened to our newly arrived visitors from another place ... those who floated in on the Inter-dimensional Bubble of Un-Willful Relocation?  Tune in next week, and find out. :)
