The Gaming Den

"It's a good thing we didn't walk into that trap going the other way." Lucas says, with a shudder. He turns around to follow the others, still holding up his lantern to light their way.

Lucas stays at the back of the group, as far as possible from the skeletons. But when one dissolves in acid, he says, "I guess those things aren't so bad to have around. Is it safe now?"

My wizard is better at casting spells than literally all humans who have ever lived. Is that a problem now?

"Into the sewer? Is that wise?" Lucas asks. Nevertheless, he follows the others.

"If everyone is ready to break some bones, then let's head in." Lucas says, once again lighting his lantern.

If there are no changes in the intervening rooms, he will lead the others to the broken door and the skeletons.

The South had slaves, and the reason they secede so they could keep their slaves. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y8VCbvMoCV8 Yeah, fuck you. “The new constitution has put at rest, forever, all the agitating questions relating to our peculiar institution African slavery as it exists amongst us, the...

Before resting, Lucas calls upon the power of Ukko and Akka, the great god and goddess, to heal his compatriots. (casting Cure Light Wounds twice, on whomever is still injured). He also prays to Loviatar, god of disease, to spare Dorgan from the ravages of his infliction, but he lacks the spiritual ...

Lucas concentrates on holding off the undead until everyone else is safely out of the corridor.

"We should set a watch, and keep a fire going. Just in case."

I'll be cashing in that blank check later, but Lucas can just worship the Finnish Pantheon. I believe that was the traditional choice back in the day?

Switching this here. Lucas is a follower of the force of good generally. Does he need a specific patron deity, and if so, which ones are available in this setting?

(Fighter/Mage/Cleric this time around, not enough Dex to even qualify for Thief.)

Lucas will attempt to Turn the skeletons once he can see them. "Hold, evil ones!"

It takes a 100gp pearl, plus owl feathers and wine. Luckily, five pearls just appeared.

Lucas follows the others down the hallway, with a final wave to Surak. "Wish us luck!"

He waits patiently while they search the area. "Let's check what's in this room, before we go any further."

Lucas also pulls back to help tend Dorgan's injuries. "Watch out, there may be more!"

Lucas charges in with his morning star raised to strike the undead, shouting "Die, ugly!"

"Thank you, I'll do that. May the forces of good be with you."

Lucas goes back to the altar room, and points to the western door. "Is that door safe to open, or do you want to smash it too?"

All my character deaths in this game should just be labeled "it seemed like a good idea at the time".

"I'm Lucas Earth-Worker. We're here to rescue the treasure."

He looks around, "Where is it, anyway? We need it to save the kingdom."

Lucas enters the eastern room and greets the snake. "Hello!"

Lucas holds his lantern up, towards the wreckage of the eastern door. "What a mess. Think there's anything good in there?"

"Let's check the side doors first," Lucas says, pointing to one of the wooden doors. "Maybe they're empty. Maybe not. But we should find out now, while we still have a clear path behind us."

Betsy's only thief tools were some bent wires. It's strange that she was able to open the door at all with just those.

So Atani is in front? Lucas is fine anywhere in the middle.

Lucas dons his armor and shield, and lights a lantern. With the lantern in his shield hand, and his trusty morning star in his left, he follows the others past the wreckage of the owlbear fight, and into the tomb.

"I have a very bad feeling about this. There's something down there."
