Let's make a second dungeon

[Trainz]

Ooh! Keep us updated on how this goes please. I'm really interested to see how it all plays out.

OK.

As I was reading them room 1... that was funny as hell... watch this:

Me (DM): The cave has a rough granite wall. A thick liquid that behaves like water is sliding down the walls in rivulets.

Player 3 (Sorceror): I'm casting a spell.

Me: OK. What is it ?

Player 3 (Sorceror): Oh, it's just a personal spell, proceed.

Me: OK. At the end of the cavern is a large plain ebony stone double-door.

Player 3 (Sorceror): I'm casting another spell.

Me: OK. Flanking it on both sides is statue of a woman cradling a baby in her cupped arms.

Me: OK. Close inspection reveals that the women has sharp teeth forming an evil grin. Close inspection of the baby's faces will show revulsion and horror.

Player 3 (Sorceror): I'm casting another spell.

Player 2: To they attack us ?

Me: As you approach the statues and are closer to the wall, you can see the walls catch fire. the walls are continuously covered in waves of fire, forming an almost hypnotizing pattern.

Player 3 (Sorceror): I'M CASTING ANOTHER SPELL ! ! !


It was very interesting (and funny as hell) to see their paranoia climb up after each line of the description I was reading them. They are On Their Toes.

Hi Kri !

I liked your pictures, but I'm looking for something more high-end for the CD adventures. I dearly hope you're not too disapointed, you and Malk look like a nice bunch !

I understand the high end issue, and it could be done but i've no scanner so that doesn't really help things.

I went to a page with 3 pics...

Is that Malk ? Handsome dude !

And is that you ?

You guys make quite the nice couple !

Thank Malk for me for his CD contribution, and I thank you for taking the time to come here. Do you guys play D&D together ? If so, tell him I envy him (my wife tried, but she didn't get "hooked" ).

Thanks Trainz, and yeah those two pictures are of Malk and me. You can't see them because Geocities is a pain about linking images to other places.

And yes, we do play DnD together. That's sort of how we met, through chat RP. He introduced me to DnD when he came up here and I'm glad he did.

As far as Malk's CD contribution, he's really enjoying it.

So is their any kind of word on when CD1 & CD2 will be posted so the resy of us can use them to scare players?

 

[Trainz]

Well, Mark is working on CD1 and turning it into a PDF. You could ask him and get an ETA. As soon as it's online, I'm sending Mark CD2 to get turned into a PDF. A that point, I will also post CD3.

So yeah.

They had to bash the southern room 2 door, being deprived of a rogue.

Oh man they don't have a rogue. This will be tough.

 

[Trainz]

Oh man they don't have a rogue. This will be tough.

LOL ! That's the first thing they said. The 15th level monk takes point and just eats whatever is on their path. So far, he didn't get nuthin. Good SR and improved evasion and really good reflex saves. So they're OK.

So far.

Trainz I would worry more about them finding the secret doors and such. Those Dc's are fairly hefty. I assume from what you said Vlask is still out there stalking them. I would just wait till the hit the abyssal wasp swarm and have him flow in and out laying some smack on them while they are busy.

I will be most interested in how they handle everything. I got the ipression it would be a tough run for 4-5 15th characters but for 3. Who knows.

Did you find out what spells the sorcerer cast in room 1 ?

If that was freaking them out wait until they get deeper in.

[Trainz]

Did you find out what spells the sorcerer cast in room 1 ?

Oh yes. I knew what he casted. False Life, Haste, Shield, Endure elements (when the flames came up), stuff like that. All for nothing (except False Life). Very funny.

If that was freaking them out wait until they get deeper in.

I think so too.

However, the next session is in two weeks. We play every two weeks.

 

[Shallown]

Something else I have to Wait for.

What Cruel fate has befallen me.

Later

 

[Trainz]

The thing is, I used the 3 dreams/visions on the monk for the hook. It woked very well. With last vision, of hordes of demons spilling out of the cavern destroying the countryside, I told him "You KNOW in your dream that this happens in the NEAR FUTURE".

This gave them a sense of urgency I didn't even have to push further. Even after 3 rooms, they're starting to stretch their ressources, so that they don't have to take too long to finish the thing. I also hinted that if they did so, my critters won't just sit back and wait for them. I told them you (Shallown) very precisely created contingencies for that.

That should be a nice ride.
