Action: Assume I'm done with eating, time to move on.

Move forward

(( Could you be a little more specific as to what you are unclear about so I know what I have to elaborate on? ))

Also, keep in mind everyone just got status effects (due 4 turns having passed). Only Arvin (Dwarmin) has done anything about it, the rest of you can move forward (without eating) but Famished does have penalties (look at the OP). Also, Lilly is exhausted, which means she cannot move without expending effort (unless you camp and rest for a turn), or someone carries her (which will require both hands free). She is also going to need a crutch or support to walk, otherwise she will have to crawl (and take a -1 to Fitness) or will need to borrow a shoulder (1 arm -not hand -free).

Eat first, then move on.

((I'm confused as to where we physically are, and what is ahead of and behind us.))

Ah I see. Well, I can't tell you what is ahead However, I can tell you that you are currently in a tunnel whose entrance was a secret passageway in the Arched room (with the paintings and pillar). In theory (i.e according to the map) there should be 1 more room ahead of you before the burial chamber.

((Awesome. That clears it up quite nicely.))

[Twinwolf]

Eat a ration.

[bahihs]

Alright. Everyone seems to have eaten.

btw, I forgot to mention this, but Famished actually gives -2 to all checks: -1 from hunger and -1 from thirst. In order to get rid of the status you must eat and drink. In this case, I've already assumed you were drinking along with eating your rations and deducted from your inventory accordingly. In the future, only eating or drinking will lower the penalty from -1 to -2, but not get rid of it.

Finally, I am just waiting on what you guys will do with Lilly (keep in mind she is exhausted and therefore cannot move with expending effort), see my earlier post as to what can be done with her.

"Perhaps I should use my magic to scout ahead? We don't want to run into another situation where we're surprised by the inhabitants."

(( Magic will cost you a turn, and assuming you're going to use Astral Projection, you'll be in a comatose state until your projection returns to your body. However your projection cannot be hurt by any physical thing, can move through walls, is invisible and can interact with the physical world at a limited level (touch, move small objects, etc.). ))

((Why waste a turn or wait another week for people to respond...you guys stay with pegleg. I'll go ahead. If I need help, I'll come back. ))

Action: I just head forward, dauntlessly. Let's get this over with already.

Alright (( eager to form a new party are we? )).

You (Arvin) tell the others to watch over Lilly, while you forge ahead. You grab one of the torches and start walking. The tunnel opens into a large cavern. In the middle of the cavern is a fountain made of chipped and faded white marble. No water runs through it, but a fetid pool of grime and mold has collected at the base.

The cavern has three distinct paths, the one you just entered from, one directly across from you, and one to the side. The paths are all open.

What do you do?

[Dwarmin]

((Uh, yeah. ))

Arvin frowned. He had hoped the treasure would be right there!

Still, he assumed the side path was the one that had led around back to the lake...and the way forward was, as of yet, open...but he doubted it led to anywhere good. According to the map, this was the burial chamber.

Action: Huh, check the map again. This room should be the vault, right? And the side door leads back to the lake?

Not exactly. The first time you looked at the map, I stated that the path across the lake/bridge had two rooms before the burial chamber (the tunnel, where you encountered the Giant Atrax is not considered a room). Furthermore, "vaults" traditionally have arched roofs (for structural stability), thus you already passed the "vault" (the pillar/painting room). Finally the burial chamber, according to the map, should be just ahead and the side path (again, according to the map) should be the path leading back to the entrance (the alternate path that I mentioned in the very beginning).

Finally, as you've seen several times in the game there's more to things than meets the eye. Keep an open mind...not all gold glitters...

[Dwarmin]

((Alright, so the spider room was a spider corridor.

Huh, also, I better mess with this ugly fountain until it kills me somehow. Would take GM bait again, 10/10.))

Arvin took another look backwards. Well, he guessed it was more of a hallway. Sort of. So the next room would be the burial chamber. Maybe. This dungeon seemed to make things up as it went along.

He decided to investigate the pool further before moving onward, however.

Action: Foolishly poke my staff into the sludge and root around. Is there anything...in there?
