[QUOTE="Jfdlsjfd, post: 9633267, member: 42856"] I'll answer those questions later... (cue mysterious music). We go left, inspired by an out-of-book rule or because we like following serpents. Soon, we reach a circular, brick-lined chamber with a frieze on the well depicting a tall metallic figure wearing a three-pointed helmet. In one of the picture it is shown attacking diminutive human figures surrounding him, its mace scattering them like chaff. In another, he's smashing temples to rubble. In a third scene, he's bowing to a human priest holding his hand behind his back with his hands pressed together. [I]That's a pretty specific description. Let's not forget it. The giant creature is apparently... hand-phobic?[/I] We keep following the tunnel, since the room has only one exit. And guess who we meet, guarding an entrance to the underworld? This guy: [ATTACH type="full" alt="1744323710653.png"]402137[/ATTACH] And yes, in the next section, we're asked if we want to do hand gesture or fight him, and then to choose the hand gesture we make. [I]Book, it was litterally 5 sections ago. We're not goldfish. We read the book... [/I] And since we do well on this test, he powers down and offers us his crystal tuning rod. Which we pocket, of course. [If we had chosen to fight, we'd miss that object and be in for a tough fight since it's a 8d6 damage monster. Though with a FP of 7, the group would stand a good chance to fight him with spells whie Trixie just goes into full defense in front of him. Anyway...] We're then offered another left-right choice, and we obediently turn left. The we reach another crossing the opportunity to turn right, which we pass. [I]This is quite an underground maze![/I] The we reach a room with many dessicated corpse on the ground, obviously hit by arrows coming out of arrow slits on the walls. We're given the opportunity to dash across the room (440) or the crawl under the arrow slits (418) [I]Since we know better than to do the obivous in this type of situations, we assume that the bowmen are long dead behind their arrow slits and we run across the room.[/I] Bingo. Mysterious black tentacles exits from the holes and try to catch us, but we're too quick for them.... We reach another room, in which a dog-headed man is standing guard in front of a wooden door barred by rusted iron bolts. We can fight (286) or use an item (81). Since there is no reason not to try to use an item since we're usually offered a list, we go to 81 trying to remember if we got an opportunity to gather dog food, or a dog whistle or.... a tuning fork (305), a copper bottle (222) or a golden mirror (74).
