The Gaming Den

Well, take a look at the original thread and judge for yourself.

I remember it being one of my favourites, but maybe I wasn't actually rolling my way through it. Lot of tough fights.

Well, that sucked. Press on and hope this is worth it.

Whats our hp right now?

Maybe I should have persisted with Tower of Destruction. I worried everyone was turned off the whole thing by the section where you can wander around and either find a non-obvious secret door, or commit suicide by jumping into the engine, but maybe I was just projecting, because I was shocked to dis...

The boulder is there to roll off and fall on us if we try to bash or hack the door down. We likely can't interact with it, though maybe precasting Web would catch it. But I'd rather use knock if we're going to use any magic.

I vote to use Knock, but I could be persuaded to save the spell and backtrack in search of the key. There might be nastier doors to bypass, but we're hemorrhaging HP in here, so I'd rather not go haring off to the other side of the ruins after some fatous key. If we are going to hunt the key, we sho...

We're not going to do better than a triple, use it. Then go south.

So you just don't know what numbers they are unless you've played the gamebook before?

+4 sounds decent I guess, though the odds what we get nothing are similar.

Remind me again how what unknown modifiers there are is determined... Are we likely to do better than +4, or worse?

I vote for whatever looting plan the next player to post proposes, and to continue south.

Fight. If this is the only way down to this room, maybe there's something worthwhile.

Yeah, south.

Gorman bleats to the effect that that's not what he had in mind, but it all seems to have worked out to the best, and he's happy his friend is okay.

Damn. Okay, let's backtrack upstairs, take the right hand passage just before the pit trap room, and see if we can find a second door near enough to tie the rope to. Then tie it around the door knob nearest the pit, and around Urlik, and lower him down to retrieve the corpse.

Nod at the door, nod at Urlik.

Oh damn, that's more distance in feet than I remembered, maybe this actually isn't a better plan than just lowering Urlik down. Well, let's see how far we can get before it starts to look too risky, we can always change our plans later. Let's go down the stairs at 9. Try to convey to Urlik that he s...

Okay, if someone else reposts or links the map that we had before, I will go back through the thread, and update it enough that we then can move downstairs with a method and a plan.

Sorry, I misunderstood where we were. South.

So I guess our choices are 1) Try to trigger the pit trap and lower a rope with, like, an unlit torch tied through the end, to try to hook the corpses ribcage or backpack and tug it off the spikes, 2) Lower Urlik down to retrieve the body, probably by tying the rope to one or more door handles, 3) h...

That probably won't work if it doesn't check for that if we try to come back here. Fight and hope its a dice roll.

Can we have an updated map? Maybe there's a way around. If not, let's see if we can lassoo the corpse over to us.

I think he's made his point. Let's accept his generous terms and not spend the rest of our life as a goat.

West, southwest, south

I'm down for attacking, but can't think of anything suitable to say.

East and South.

No treasure here, let's flee.

Policing and counter terrorism after that.
