First, teleportation will not work in this dungeon, though you're welcome to try.  Secondly, these walls are nigh-indestructible and impervious to magic.  Thirdly, this room you are standing in holds the key to leaving.  Through each of these doorways lays a piece of the key.. if you can survive and find it, each of these four pieces will be needed to finally exit the dungeon.OH, and one last thing.. Don't tarry in this room too long without the full key.. my Stone Golems dislike living creatures, and tend to attack creatures who stay too long."  As his image fades, the 'statues' in each of the corners turn their heads to regard you.  The image reappears suddenly then, grinning widely "Oh by the way, as a 'welcoming gift', I'd like you to meet one of my pets... Bruno, Say hi."The head fades out again, leaving a lingering maniacal laughter as a you realize it was an illusion covering the presence of the beast in the center.  As it fades, you see the Living Stalagmite, tentacles waving around it as it screeches at you in some strange language  [sblock=Undercommon]"Welcome lunch, You won't leave this room alive!"[/sblock][sblock=Initiative]Following please Roll Initiative, you will be able to participate in this encounter (Though if you do you will not be allowed to edit your character)Kinem (Carl Simec), Redclaw (Savlin Deathseeker), Albedo(Annabelle), Renau1g(Rhokkan), Ruined (Takk)[/sblock][sblock=ooc]Due to circumstances beyond your control, you are all COMPLETELY unbuffed at the start of this fight.  Have fun. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />Knowledge checks (Arcana/Dungeoneering) to figure out what it is.  [sblock=DC 20]The creature in the center of the room is a Roper. It is feared by many for it's ability to drain the strength from its victims.  *If you score 25 or higher, post it and I'll give you extra info*[/sblock] As far as monsters go, I'm going to allow you all to 'know' any of the more common monsters of CR 10 or lower.  Anything higher than that will need knowledge checks.[/sblock][sblock=map]         __.
