In the Mind of Man (ooc and questions V)

[Yrkoon]

I don't think we have searched around here for treasure either.

Anyhow, if Grigor and Zahra fancy west, Cruloc is not opposed. Later, he'd like the opportunity to explore the passageway to the east I mentioned.

[ravenn4544]

I didn’t notice the north door there. Check that out first?

[Yrkoon]

No complaints here.

If the choices are either west or north, I'll vote north. That door looks interesting.

[jemmus]

Confirming that Torix has 0 torches.

[ChubbyPixie]

For the record, Kiri is fine with continuing to explore this level. He certainly won't leave the group.

[Inferno]

Hey gang,
You shouldn't split the party. It'll end in a TPK! So we'll go with the will of the majority, as usual.

In your next IC reply, please make your intention clear so I can count votes and move the game along.

Thanks!

Still no consensus.

Here's what I have so far. Apologies if I got anything wrong.

North door: 2 (Amethu and Cruloc)

Western passage: 2 (Grigor and Torix)

Descend deeper: 1 (Kiri)

Return to surface: 1 (Dahinna)

No vote: 1 (Zahra)

Once we break the tie, I can move things along. Thanks.

[ChubbyPixie]

Seeing that the others, probably wisely, are not willing to descend immediately, Kiri will side with Amethu and Cruloc and vote for the North door.

[Inferno]

Still no consensus.

Here's what I have so far. Apologies if I got anything wrong.

North door: 3 (Amethu, Cruloc and Kiri)

Western passage: 3 (Dahinna, Grigor and Torix)

No vote: 1 (Zahra)

Once we break the tie, I can move things along. Thanks.

[Urson]

West.

[Inferno]

Great. Sounds like we have a winner.

Torch-makers: How many torches are you looking to fashion before you head out please? Alternatively, how long do you want to spend making torches before you head out?

Thanks.

[Yrkoon]

Assuming there is enough material, Cruloc would like 6 torches for himself.
I hope the others stock up as well.
West sounds fine to me, but let's keep that key for the northern door in mind as we explore further.

[hedgeknight]

Sorry just seeing this. Dahinna will fashion three extra torches if possible (or whatever time allows).

[Yrkoon]

I suggest Kiri merely check to see if the keys fit the northern door. Let's not open it at this point. I think we should all stick together and see what is beyond the secret door.

[Urson]

As for torches, Zahra would like 3- but it looks like she won't have time to make that many, and she damn sure won't be left behind for the sake of a torch.

[Yrkoon]

Gah! A gelatinous cube!

Cruloc should be with Amethu and Kiri on the map.
Anyhow, he'll sprint to help Grigor and the first hint of trouble.

[Inferno]

Cruloc should be with Amethu and Kiri on the map.

Oops. Sorry.

[jemmus]

Gelatinous cube! Been around forever, but my first time actually (not) seeing one.

[Urson]

Yup-yup.

[hedgeknight]

Gah! A gelly cube in Inferno's game and a nasty ooze in Ogre Mage's game!
I need to come up with some critter to drop into my games!

[jemmus]

Rust monster is always good. Well, they might be. My PCs have never encountered one. (BTW, my avatar is a photo of the Chinasaur toy used as the original model for the MM rust monster illustration. Apparently Gygax had a bag of Chinasaurs).
