…let's not forget this hallway and the doors we haven't explored.

Did I miss the door part? It’s a long hallway with fourteen narrow mining passageways running off north walls. At the end of the long hallway are stairs.

This tracks. No doors, just passage openings. Fourteen from the elevator passage to the stairs, at least three in the other direction.

As Bishop and Delx suggested, Elcroon followed the others down the stairs. Given they only went up one level in the elevator, the musicmancer expected the stairs to go down to the first level.

With my 7 hp and no points in defense stats, I feel a bit safer being in the middle. Great suggestion!

[jemmus]

Looks good-- thanks!

You descend the stairs with a bit of caution …

Depletion [2d6]=8
Denizen? [_3d6]=(5+1+4)=10

… the stairs go down to a landing, then backward down to another landing. At the second landing is a statue of a dwarf who looks surprised. He holds a wicker basket. The stairs continue downward from here. There also is an opening to a passageway from the landing.

[Grognardsw]

Bishop asked about casting a spell in post #226, and Elcroon asked if it would be dangerous, but then it faded. An augury or consulting with spirits could be useful.


Elcroon studied the unusual statue.

“Will we see it thrice, a deadly cockatrice?”

The bard petted Black Dog.

“What do you smell, pray tell?
If danger near, twitch an ear.”

He dropped it because of post #228. Feel free to ask again, he is happy to explain and cast it

To answer the question of danger: Dungeon Goons requires that you roll against "DS" for a given effort. If you roll under DS, then typically you take Strain = the difference. In the case of asking a spirit questions, this would represent the spirit getting mad and touching your mind unkindly. (Strain can be rested off.)

DS for different types of questions
"where and what is the nearest danger" ⇒ DS 8
"left or right" ⇒ DS 10

The "simpler" question would be higher DS because it would require the spirit to do a lot more thinking about your situation and maybe ask you questions, all of which would tend to piss the spirit off.

Uhm, sure I guess, let's test it out and see how it all works

Bishop casts Converse with Otherworldly Being
Spirit of stone, wake from your slumber and tell us where and what is the nearest danger?

Could you please roll [_2d6] for Bishop (+ … 8 for Erudite, staff, and vestments … uh … the roll matters only if you get ⚀⚀)
