Orhan 1 Day 43 TE 6063
Fortress of Conclusion
It's cold. We are shocked by how cold it is. No wait, we're not.
We enter and start teh endless dungeon crawl of doom. A mummy commands
us to release him from his pain. It's Dessitasso! Doh! He got caught pretty
bad. He says he was caught by a figure. "Only 1? I have no use for
only one. I shall have to wait for longer." He remembers that there
are lethal traps everywhere. A huge crystal sphere is at the center, but
before he could investigate further, he got smote and now is here. Imre
puts him out of his misery but then has to resist against channeling.
He does, though no whe's down below death level in fate points. We doomed!
The corridor we are in gets darker and darker. Way down the end of the
corridor is a hulking demon nightwalker thing. It's a negative energy
demon. We prepare to fight it. We charge! We bombard him with light spells.
And demon slaying swords. He has a vast DB except when in an utterlight.
So Oathar casts utterlight every round, and the beast casts darkness every
round to cancel it. The rest of the folk keep trying to time their blows
while the utterlight is up. We kill him. Hmm, no more ways out. We look
around for secret doors. We find one back in Dessitasso's room.
We come to a circular room. It's got powerful fog in it. Powerful poisonous
magical fog. There's a squealing voice in the fog.
Going south we find a hidden door leading to a brass plaque and a lever.
the plaque says "push me". Oathar triggers the obvious trap.
Electricity. He gets zapped. But the secret door opens. Oh look, a bone
chamber. We cross the chamber on the rickety bridge, while the bones rise
up to get us. The bone worm tries to attack everyone. We make it passed
the danger safely, but Haeraan's morningstar mind controls him to keep
attacking the bone worm. Sigh.
Next we come to the ASCII floor. The plaque on the far wall says "Name
me true or name me false. Your decision shall lead to loss."
Oathar, following Dessitasso's plan, hops along on random tiles. There's
bongs and bongs as he hops. On the other side is a space to stand with
an evil face carving holding another sphere of anihilation. Sigh. After
a lot of running around and taunting the sphere of anihilation, we get
through tthe secret door in the mouth.
We find a statue with a pot of clay in front of it. We ignore it.
Oathar sets off a trap and get's his foot cut off. Imre puts it back
on, but will be hobbling for 2 days.
