drink while trying to remember what is up with the ANCIENTS. things like who the are why they left why there leaving turned people to gold dust with out leaving a soul

[Karnewarrior]

  I take a sip of pretend tea. Chealsea smiles.

  "You're very trusting for a necromancer."

  "You're very young for a centuries old ghost." I quip.

  She laughs, and it almost sounds like a normal little girl. "Thank you. The doors will open again. I'm sorry I had to trap you, but I couldn't be sure you'd play along..."

  "I understand."

  "Someone awaits you in the grand hall. Go down the next hallway, it's the large doors on the left."

  "Thank you."

  "And before you go..." She hands me a bracelet of glass beads. "Take these, and fear not the night." She begins to fade away.

  "COME VISIT AGAIN SOMETIME."

  "I will."


   My army is back. The doors stand ajar.

go to the great hall after puting on the beads

[Karnewarrior]

  I put on the beads. They jangle off my arm in a strangely familiar fashion. They sparkled in the candleight and torchlight as I called my troops forward into line behind me.

  I open the door and stride into the great hall. It's towering, a full three stories of vaulted stone and painted columns. Torches still flicker nin the walls, as if lit there only yesterday, and they cast shadows across the floor. On the cold stone sits row upon row of pew, and a throne alone and majestic at the head of the room.

  There are no doors leading from here. Strange...

[Chink]

Sit on the throne.

[RAM]

Search for traps!

Sit on the throne.

Do not do this! It is likely to anger the spirits

[Spinal_Taper]

Every sensible person knows that suspiciously empty thrones in ancient fortresses are trapped. Are any of our minions smart enough to look for tripwires or other obvious traps? If so, send them out ahead of you and tell them to. If not, proceed into the room. Carefully.

Also, DO NOT SIT ON THE THRONE. That is always a well hidden and yet obvious trap.

More likely a plot device, but a device of some sort. But we were supposed to meet someone here...

[Karnewarrior]

  Since I feel like there's a trap somewhere in the room, I decide to send in one of my Ancient Zombies to scout ahead for traps. Since none of my minions are high-quality enough to search safely, the Zombies main job is to stumble about and search for traps by trying to walk into them. He wanders around, stepping on every stone, he sits on the pew, and scoots along comically. Finally I direct him to the most likely area, the Throne.

  My Zombie (Henceforth named Cannonfodder) sits on the throne as regal as a shabling, half rotten set of flesh can. He even reclines back. It looks like there's no traps...
