Hmm.

Alright, I'll join this suicide mission. I'll borrow a warhammer from one of the caravan guards. I do not intend to use it, but don't want to be completely unarmed, and nobody else has a blunt weapon. We might need it for door bashing.

I'll also bring whatever basic mechanic's tools I expect I may need, and if possible, a backpack and some rations.

Gar: I'll take some rocks and carve some kitchenware: plates and mugs. On the other side should be our group symbol. I'll give them to the innkeeper in return for some food and drink, and ask that he shows them to traders in the future.

I'm in. Can't have everyone stuck in the catacombs with broken toes, or something.
I bring my medical equipment, backpack, and shovel.


I think the new inventory system is just fine.
One small complaint though, may I have my single barrel of fresh helmets back?
Those came from my own farm plot, not bought for the embark, so I think it would make sense if I "owned" them.

Alright, I'm in.

I agree about the inventory system, having a shared stockpile of goods feels dwarfy.  I wasn't planning on *selling* wood or food to the others.

I'm in since I refuse to be blamed for anyone dying due to a lack of a proper tank.

I'll ready a pickaxe to take out anything dangerous looking that comes by, while praying to Zazit for guidance or some such.

Now that I've had a good look at my previous inventory I can safely say that I feel like a moron for not killing the troll with a pickaxe while it was struggling to board the barge.

Well, now that the entire group minus Samthere has decided to join us, I go down first, as I'm the most sane.  I'll walk slowly, letting my eyes adjust to the growing darkness, be sure to look for any kind of trap mechanisms as I travel through the corridor.

I'll follow third, because the soft ones are usually picked off from the far back, not the front.

I'll stay with Litast, if I'm left unsupervised in dark corridors things tend to get injured, or set ablaze. Typically both.

I'll volunteer to take up the rear with my crossbow.  Probably best if I'm far away from the weird stuff.

V-Norrec goes first down the corridor, holding her lantern high. The others (except Samthere) follow a little distance behind.

You get assaulted by feelings of danger, but you press on anyway. Your vision starts to darken, and it feels like you're trying to swim through thickening mud. Suddenly you burst through the field and fall forward gasping.

There's some screaming and flailing, but the group gets everybody else through.

You're all huddled up at the end of the entry corridor. There's a smallish square room ahead, you can't see anything except dust from where you're standing. There's another corridor leading out on the other side. All the surfaces you see are plain cut stone.

Apparently having a redundant creature entry causes the game to say, "Oh, look, it's crazy world now. Nothing makes sense! Alligators live in houses!"

Oh yeah *flex*  Investigate the doorway and surrounding area for any traps, then enter the room and shine the light from my lanern all over the room to see if there is any engravings to be found or other signs of the previous inhabitants.  if none, check the doorway on the other side of the room for traps or any other kind of foul play.
