Collaborative Cave #2 - Updated map (see 1st post) - Now doing room assignment

[Elephant]

Maybe I'll scrap the "four trials" idea entirely; I'm questioning whether it really fits into the cave at all.

I'm still not sure what to offer as a reward, though; a pile of gold or a magic item just seems kind of boring. Maybe the friendship of the pixie's tribe?

A flute of pixie summoning - the rescued pixie turns out to be the Pixie Queen. the PCs are rewarded with a flute which when a certain note is played summons a swarm of pixies ready to do the callers bidding for Level + Cha rounds.

But the whole encounter seems like one that should happen in the middle of the dungeon not after the event. Unless we put the real BBEG (ie whoever it was tortured the Pixie) in after this (room 14?)

- access to room 14 is blocked and the PCs go from 12 to 13 before finding the pixie in room 15. They gain the key to room 14 where they encounter the Final Boss (having already defeated the BBEG in room 10)

oh and may I have room 3

You got it.


Might I suggest that Elephant just table his idea for now. It's possible that a room like room 15 will be easier to do once our ideas about the dungeon are slightly more refined. We still don't know what the overall "theme" is yet.

Consider it tabled. I'll further switch focus to Room 2, so if someone else wants room 15 before I finish that, they're welcome to it.

Ok, I've got you down for room #2, and left room #15 unassigned.

Instead of a flute of pixie summoning, what if they instead gave a token of their esteem that would make the bearer(s) resistant to the charm powers of the fey...in a sense, saying "We're so grateful, not one of us will ever force you to do something against your will."

Call it a Ring of the Pixie-Queen's Favor, granting a +10 against Enchantments cast by Fey or some such, also marking the wearer as one of her Champions- giving them a little political clout as well...perhaps +4 (non-magical bonus) to Diplomacy rolls in her court? They can call on you for aid, but they cannot force you to appear.

Say... when are you gonna pick a room?

I wasn't expecting to...I'm pretending to be an "ideas guy"- helping others tweek their ideas. I haven't even really looked at the map, to be honest.

I didn't even realize we actually had unassigned areas left.

d-k, how about a list of who is assigned to which room?

One step ahead of you - check post #1.

Looking at the map gives me a tickle of an idea for 9...but first, what is in the overall plotline and what specifically is in 10?
