…so, basically, you’re screwed
Delving In The Dungeon
Due to a rather serious dropoff of the number of folks responding with turns…and my own lack of speed responding to them…I’m ending the Dungeon Delving experiment. BUT, I’m going to tell you how things ended.
The End Of The Delve (And What Happened After)
It was decided that, since Andrea knew a great many things about the dungeon, the party would use her as a guide. What happened next included…
An encounter with a great many very angry spiders that were roughly the size of a full grown sheep.
Tea with a mummy. The scones were delicious.
The finding of a door that was not locked, but had a very large sign on it saying Do NOT open this door! We mean it! No…really…you’ll be sorry if you open this door! Naturally, Fergus opened it. It was a broom closet.
A long and bloody battle with a troll.
Another long and bloody battle, this time with one of the other dungeon delving parties. Our group kicked their asses.
Much treasure was found. Periwinkle managed to steal the best stuff for herself.
Amalia found 7 magical arrows. 6 of them produced fireballs when they hit. The seventh turned the target (a human mage) into a chicken.
Erasmus deciphered a scroll that showed the way to the main treasure room of the dungeon.
Unfortunately, the main treasure room was being used as a mating site for two red dragons. Our Heroes made one of the greatest stealthy retreats in history.
Knute found the Pool of Restoration and used it to restore Andrea to her original (and, might we say, hot) form. Duncan used the pool to restore his left pinky finger, which had earlier been bitten off by a giant rat.
Everyone escaped from the dungeon in pretty good health…and with a lot of loot.
Erasmus learned 9 new spells from various scrolls, gained 3 magical rings and became the envy of the Junior Wizards League.
Amalia outfitted herself with all the best equipment an adventurer could want and then joined a famous mercenary army. Some years later, she conqured the kingdoms of Brindolhoff, East Pidwin, Yuveristan and Ulirila.
Periwinkle moved to the Great City of Ospin and used her wealth to take control of the Thieves Brotherhood.
Fergus and Duncan used a small part of their money to buy fine armor and weapons. Then, they blew the rest on whores, ale and more whores. (they like whores)
Knute and Andrea got married, moved to Ispedalia, began writiing and reading poetry and were eventually declared Liviing Treasures Of The Ipedalian People. Oh, and they liived happily ever after.

hmmmmmmm …. tannis leaf tea
Huzzah!
I’m sad to have missed tea and scones with the mummy. Although considering the probably age of the
stonesscones Erasamus’ teeth thank you.And speaking of thanks, thankyou for the experiment. It was fun while it lasted.
[Although the broom closet amusingly reminds me of a time when players discovered a broom closet and decided that there just had to be a Broom of Flying in there. I’ll leave the rest to your imagination.]
Aw, it was fun. (my lack of response in the last two posts was because I played catchup in lj for a few weeks when things got crazy and then went off to Alaska for over a week). I thought were we just getting started, too, with players getting creative and pushing our side of things.
Still, it’s nice to get closure, if you’re ending the experiment.
Darn, lost half of my online games within the space of three days. Thanks for the old-school silliness, though. :)
Sorry if it didn’t work out, and sorry if my slowness to respond sometimes contributed to that. But thanks for the game!
