So Canadian Thanksgiving... How long is the typical recovery time?

[Vorthon]

I dunno about USEC, but I recovered pretty fast.

[zacen299]

I'm fine. I wonder where he has gotten.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Check that door for traps, climbing over to it if need be.

[12 + 5] You find no traps on the door, which is a good thing because Hans and Cairn aren't going to wait for you to disable any silly traps. No sir! They've got rooms to search!

Call Hans over to CAREFULLY search the next room with Cairn.

Since you don't have a twin, and presumably you don't want to be used as a human 10-foot pole, you just enter the door and search the room normally.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Rotted sofas, several throne like chairs, small tables, braziers, vases, and dented, chipped, even broken urns lie in disarray about the chamber, as if purposely tumbled and looted. Only the tapestries, featuring weed-grown rocks and greenish scenes of undersea life, seem to have escaped such rough treatment.

Obviously this must be Acererak's living room. Well, since he's a lich I suppose that it'd be his dying room now. Either way, the room itself is 30 feet and 30 feet, and smells strongly of mould and mildew. The room has two tapestries, one covering the southern half of the eastern wall and one covering the northern half of the western wall. Both depict scenes of undersea life, showing that while Acererak knows his way through horrible death traps, he has no taste. Oh, and the room has a door in the north-eastern corner of the room.

[19 + 5] A quick search turns up 6 locked trunks and 24! locked coffers. The coffers are numbered from 1-24, to simplify matters.

Now that I think of it, that plan was actually kinda useless. At least, now that I know we can just climb over the pit. I'm gonna go ahead and climb back over the pit.

[16] You climb back over the pit. Make up your mind already.

Now that the immediate dangers are over, I'll thank the newcomer for the magically-summoned booze, take a bottle of whatever's strongest, and duck out of the dungeon briefly. With the help of the booze, I'll commune with nature to find a new animal companion. Whichever one makes the best first impression wins.

Thanking Aroth MÜmgozzanor for the tasty, tasty booze, you duck out of the tomb with a bottle of Geoff's Finest looking for an animal companion.

...

I hear that squirrels can make nice pets. I'm not 100% sure about the dead ones, though...

Upon hearing someone calling for a hand with something Aroth promtly heads over there but upon arrival to his eternal embarrassment finds it was someone calling to someone called Hans. How can he ever live down the shame of this after so many years of diplomacy remembering tongue twisting names but to fail to recognize such a simple name. It didn't even have any unpronounceable syllables in it! To try and hide his embarrassment Aroth acts like he was just heading there to heal anyone that needed it (and promptly does so)

[10] [12] You heal Hans and Cairn up in a jiffy. 1 healing 1 healing

Razdak sits down, gets a firm grasp of Max's hair with his left paw and points forward with his right.

Follow the instructions of my new mouse guide and roguish lady companion.

Following Razdak's instructions, MaximumClone2 walks over to... the pit I guess? The relative facing of various adventurers is not something that I keep track of.

[18 + 5] Either way, Maximum crosses the pit without incident.

When/if I get there in one piece, I'll detect magic on the new room.

[1] ... I have nothing clever to say here. You just fail at magic completely.

Skitter along the walls into the room, then first carefully search the walls, then floor, for any signs of traps. Also, kind of just glance at the room to make sure there aren't monsters. Also. Never touch the floor again.

[9 + 5] You search everywhere for traps. The floor, the sofas, along the walls. Just as you're about to check behind a tapestry the room begins to shake violently.

[REFLEX: 14 + 5] [REFLEX: 15 + 5] [REFLEX: 10] Luckily Hans, Cairn and Tarmik manage to keep their footing as the room lurches ominously.

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

Oh, and then the tapestries magically transform into slime, completely engulfing the room and killing everyone in it.

...

Did you think that you would get a saving throw? The entire room is filled with slime.

...

Fine, I'll roll to see if you make it out through the door in time. I suppose that it's the least I can do.

[REFLEX: 3 + 5] [REFLEX: 7 + 5] [REFLEX: 9] The slime quickly fills up Acererak's living room, swallowing Hans, Cairn and Tarmik with a nasty goop sound, sealing them in forever. Or until the slime magically disappears from the room in a couple minutes.

If they do, cast half weight if there's nothing on the end, or double weight on the anchor if we use some method of anchoring it

Nobody seems eager to throw any ropes around, so you just twiddle your thumbs.

Malaken shall investigate his immediate area!

[8] I can't remember where you ran off to, but regardless it has already been searched over five times by now. Unless you want to join up Hans and Cairn, but I'm pretty sure that you don't want to.

[Zako]

((Didn't see that one coming... Ouch, 3 people in one.))

"Well, that sorts out that trap. Sorry guys."

Mark out the secret door with chalk and write where the slime came from next to the door. Chill out and wait until the slime dissapears, tossing little broken off bits of chalk into the slime from a distance to see what happens to it.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Mark out the secret door with chalk and write where the slime came from next to the door. Chill out and wait until the slime dissapears, tossing little broken off bits of chalk into the slime from a distance to see what happens to it.

Nothing happens to the slime when you chuck bits of chalk into it. It's just regular, mostly harmless slime, like the kind you find on slugs and snails. After several minutes, the slime disappears as whatever spell created it expires. A quick sweep of the (now very clean) room shows that the tapestries have completely disappeared, though everything else is more or less the same.

((Didn't see that one coming... Ouch, 3 people in one.))

The trap has a 50% chance of triggering each turn, so everyone was just unlucky. Or lucky, since it went off before more people could move into the room to search the coffers and trunks. Oh, and the trap would have gone off once somebody touched the tapestries anyways.

[RedWarrior0]

Wait, doesn't it just slime the people in front of the tapestries?

And then, of course, turn back into tapestries.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Wait, doesn't it just slime the people in front of the tapestries?

And then, of course, turn back into tapestries.

Where's the fun in that? I might be reading it wrong. I'm not sure.

[Zako]

((DOESN'T MATTER NOW! It's gone and would be unfair and gm hax if it came back again now.))

Examine all the trunks carefully for traps. Don't touch any if possible.

[USEC_OFFICER]

Examine all the trunks carefully for traps. Don't touch any if possible.

[18 + 5] You find no traps on any of the chests.

[Zako]

Check the coffers then. Also, have a look around the room with my gem to see if there's anything hidden. Do that first.

Holy shit, I died! That tempting fate stuff worked!

Move into the slime room, and start checking out that door on the right hand side of the pictured room.

[Hanslanda]

Suddenly appear in a puff of antilogic, and check the chests/coffers for traps. Twice. Without touching anything. Also, loot my own corpse for that healing potion. And the arrows.

Proceed to the hallway, pick up the scroll I left behind, and loot the fresh corpses. After I have whatever items I can carry off of them, I get out of the room while a rogue somewhere searches it for an exit.
