The Gaming Den

Checking the garrison... 508 You make your way to the training grounds, where you see the soldiers of the Everchild at practice. All the troops you have gathered for her can be found here, their armour and weapons glinting in the unforgiving sun. [spacer] If you have the code A33 you can transfer an...

Attempting to visit the God-King gets us turned away by an annoyed flunky since we already have Chalice's military support; nothing else seems to have changed. We leave westward over the bridge, pass back through Luutanesh, keep going towards Saltdad, and visit the palace. 633 You approach the palac...

218 You sit upon the ledge side, on a small outcropping of rock, crossing your legs and calming your breathing. In the distance Yu Yan looks at you with amazement, before slipping away into the dusk. [spacer]You gaze out into the beautiful landscape, considering the perfect arrangement of the world...

454 “What if we worked together?” you offer. “In exchange you may have all the treasure we find, except for the silver idol. It is all I am interested in.” [spacer]She looks you up and down, as if judging you. “So be it, Akihiro of Chalice,” she says, smiling. “This place is quite dangerous, and yo...

782 You duck behind the statue, trying to control your breathing so as not to be heard. You watch as a young woman dressed in black, armed with a sword and lantern, makes her way into the chamber. She has the sharp features of a woman from Drakehallow, and she scans the room cautiously as she enter...

There's not really any point in giving Aki both the book and the runesword, item bonuses to stats don't stack. Destiny meditation is 4d v 4+:1,5,6,6=3, success. 683 You attempt to clear your mind of all distractions and exist in a state of blessed emptiness. You remember your temple teachings when y...

North to Luutanesh, where there's nothing left to do, then east to Chalice, paying toll to cross the bridge. Not much to do here either, unless you want to sell one or more dragonyak horns for 35 moneys each. Then it's south along the Cold River to the Caves of Uranu in search of the object that Aki...

113 You are travelling along the Northroad that stretches between Cursus and Luutanesh. Armed convoys from the mystical city of Chalice roll by, along with scores of travellers. Watering stops dot the ragged highway, with merchants paying a few silver coins a time to feed their labouring dragonyaks...

149 The bull stands seven feet tall at the shoulder. This will not be an easy battle. Opponent Attack Def Health Dragonyak Bull 6(3+) 4+ 15 If you win, the dragonyak herd disperses in panic. You can take a dragonyak horn as a reward for your battle, if you wish. There is nothing else to see in this...

605 You descend into a mighty canyon, different coloured bands of earth clearly visible along the tall walls of the cleft. Water pools in some places, with patches of lush vegetation clogging parts of the valley. A herd of wild dragonyaks, like scaled buffalo, cluster around the oasis, munching con...

We have. The big canyon has aggressively territorial draonyaks, and the little canyons have an opportunity to cast the Shadow Door spell that we still don't know.

I sold the iron shortswords, and also the extra soft boots and reference book because they were always vendor-bait. Unfortunately, the economy in Clifftop is too small for anyone to buy a steel longsword, so that'll have to wait. I've stacked the crude blade fillers on Aki because I don't want to ac...

Lore advancement check is 2+1=3, and Sar Jessica actually fails, which is a bummer. Because it has been a while, I will remind you that the Everchild also asked us to try recruiting among the nomads. I'm going to skip over the trip and back to Clifftop for spell refreshes because nothing happens in ...

Okay, our destination is the Palace, and I'm going to skip over the uneventful parts. I'm also going to ditch the Iron King's iron sceptre for the black prism, as I'm pretty sure that questline is now defunct. 800 The slaves are disappointed that their saviours will not be joining them but thank you...

I am requesting a tie-breaker vote from someone.

I'm going to skip over the intervening corridor entries and go straight to the destination. 662 You are in the magnificent ruins of Mordain harbour. Four hundred years of tidal forces have not yet eroded its stone dockyard, with the stone faces of Mordainian kings, carved from the cliff face, peerin...

Tasha gets the boost, Ti'quon trades out his armor, and we attempt the trap-filled corridor. 44 Tackling the room will come in two stages. Firstly, you must attempt to figure out the safest route. By examining the positions of the orc bodies you might be able to work out which parts of the room are ...

213 You draw your weapons and prepare for a mighty battle. You are pleased to see the slaves, who realise that this is their best chance of escape, turn on their masters with their picks and shovels. Opponent Attack Def Health 1st Orc 4(4+) 4+ 9 2nd Orc 5(4+) 4+ 11 3rd Orc 4(4+) 4+ 10 4th Orc 3(4+)...

439 If you have the code A69, turn to 209 . If not, read on. The steps lead down until you arrive at a huge cavern, ringing with the sounds of picks on rocks. Half the chamber is filled with rock detritus, chiselled from the walls by dozens of human slaves. The slaves themselves seem to be locals f...

793 If you have the code A79, turn to 568 . If not, read on. You have entered a large chamber that appears to be roughly carved out of the rock. Seawater rests in deep puddles across the floor, and ruined banners are hung high across the room. A noise of grinding stone alerts you to the back of the...

896 [spacer]If you have the code A78, turn to 289 . [spacer]If not, read on. You enter a room which has been so crammed with statuary, ancient urns and other artefacts that it is difficult to even open the door. A small walkway through the packed objects lets you navigate the cluttered room. It see...

634 If you have Skullcracker in your party, turn to 269 . If you have the code A76, turn to 165 . If not, read on. [spacer]As you round the corner of the corridor you come face to face with a hideous female ogre. She hefts her club to attack. Unknown to you, the ogre’s mate is in a room not far awa...

634 You are in a long corridor that runs west to east, with a passage that branches off to the south somewhat in the middle. To the west the corridor ends in a set of stairs that lead downwards. To the east the corridor abruptly turns north. To the south lie the crossroads. [spacer]Go west, down th...

245 The ogre seems stunned that such thin and puny creatures could possess so much money. “Beats me why you wander ‘round dungeons when you have that kind of dosh lining your pockets, but well’a’day.” [spacer]The ogre rises to his feet. “Skullcracker’s the name,” he says. “I don’t do cities, and I ...

247 “You couldn’t afford me!” laughs the ogre. [spacer]“How much?” you press. [spacer]“Eight hundred silver,” grins the ogre. “I’d charge a thousand, but I’ll give you a discount since I’ve been stuck in this hole for months.” [spacer]Pay the ogre 800 silver coins (cross them off your adventure she...
