The Game Thread 2

[jemmus]

Delx had been momentarily lost in thought, pondering on something. He mutters to himself, I can see now why dwarves love rock and stones such.... Then, Oh, sorry. I was wondering: Can rock speak a mistruth? But I think it cannot. It's the foundation of everything on the earth. And exists forever, in some form, so it has no need for ambition or greed for a next meal. I believe it has no motivation to lie, and even cannot lie.
But I could be wrong, of course.

Black Dog, not to worry, in time you'll get used to rock speaking as plain as landlord demanding the rent. And no doubt many other wondrous things that friend Bishop will reveal along the way. You just be ready to snatch up a cockatrice by the neck if you see one, the way you've cleverly done before. Elcroon, a "nest of fae" ahead. I open the door, backstep five paces or so, and you ply them with arrows through the doorway? And if they sally forth, I do the same with my bow? Bishop, your thoughts?

To confirm, the nest is at our current level - L1 on the map - where we are on the landing with the dwarf statue, a passageway is before us, and stairs continue down.

Elcroon looked at Delx with some concern.

“Good friend, you dream still of doors
There are naught but stairs, passages and floors.
I hesitate to stir a nest of fae
Preferring instead to live another day.”

The singsword motioned down the stairs.

“Shall we descend for good measure
And hope our steps lead to treasure!”

Delx
Yes, down the stairs then, if you agree, Bishop.
