Rock & Roll Preschool

…I just want to get get a cookie…I’m to young to know about nookie

The Ramones may rise from their graves to get me for that one. Or not.

STUFF

1: Missed the A&E deadline again. Damn!

2: Everyone here at the Cross Luxury Hotel For Spoiled Basset Hounds is as healthy as can be expected. Let us hope this trend continues.

3: Having read two posts recently by LJ friends who ranted about some of their fucked up family members, I was tempted to call my sibs and thank them for not being total assholes. Then I thought “fuck it, let them call me first”. Hey, it’s how my family rolls:)

4: Tonight’s Netflix Double Feature at Uncle Doc’s Video Lounge: “Tarantula” and “The Mole People”. WOOHOO!

5: This weekend’s festivities: Gardening on Saturday, Game Day on Sunday!

6: I have recently gone quite mad for the whole Old School Gaming (read: OD&D/First Edition AD&D) thing. Well, I was always kind of an Old School Gamer, but the madness comes in the form of rampant downloads of every free Old School PDF I can find. All of this relates to my ongoing “Return Of Magic” home RPG series, so I cannot discuss details…except to say that Spring/Summer of 2010 will be The Year Of The Dungeon, baby!

And now for something not at all different…

Delving In The Dungeon: Part 8 “loot, glorious loot”

With the sole exception of Knute and Amalia, who stand guard, everyone else probes around in the muck & goo to search for treasure. Here is what they find…

132 gold pieces, some quite old and valuable
210 silver pieces
473 copper pieces
2 large shields
2 broadswords
1 battleaxe
7 daggers
4 skeletons, 2 wearing chainmail, 1 wearing ring mail, 1 wearing rotten robes
3 rings, one of which proves to be magical (via a Detect Magic spell)
3 sealed flasks of oil
2 sealed flasks of some pinkish liquid
1 sealed scroll case, containing a scroll with 2 spells (Sleep and Turn Undead)
Assorted remains of backpacks, blankets, torches, ropes, etc…all ruined by the much.

All the weapons and armor are in surprisingly good shape beyond a bit of rust. Unfortunately, the armor was obviously made for dwarves. The skeletons show many broken and cracked bones, as though they were hit mighty blows with blunt instruments.

Erasmus declares that the pinkish liquids are “almost certainly” healing potions. He then slips the magic ring on the middle finger of his right hand.

And since I have not mentioned it yet, Erasmus normally has 12 Power Points per day and all of his spells are first level, which cost one point each time he casts them.
