The Wilds - More Doors

After a little contention, the group finally agrees to some cautious exploration before heading back up the rope ladder for another stab at the necromancer.

The Wilds - Hot. Damn Hot!

A short turn, as commonly happens when exploring a dungeon.

Tile of the Week #91

Here is today's Tile of the Week entry, a simple four-way intersection with stairs leading up/down on three sides. These stairs could go up or down, so there are no direction arrows. I use several different stair types for different situations. Here's a snippet from the Dungeons in Blue FAQ that explains:

What's the deal with stairs? Shaded, unshaded, arrows, no arrows?

Shaded stairs are paths off the current level (up or down). Unshaded stairs are elevation changes within the current level. Arrows indicate direction, and stairs without can be interpreted as either up or down staircases.

The Wilds - Tight Quarters

As the group discusses the plan for getting down in the hole, Saurabh speaks up, "I think Ingvild has a good idea. Let's save the levitation for escape, not for getting down. We have a rope ladder, and these rocks are big enough to serve as a secure tie-off. Use a length of rope to suspend the ladder from the rocks, cover the exposed parts with some of the debris here, and get moving." [Recall that at least some of the previous room occupants have used the crevice as a disposal chute.]

Tile of the Week #90

Here is today's Tile of the Week entry. Number 90 depicts a large chamber surrounded by big pits and stairways. If you've played any Path of Exile, you may recognize the inspiration for this map.

The Wilds - Nothing Like a bit of Rain

It takes the party over two hours to cover the remaining distance to the Maze. The continued rain has done the imposssible: made the area even more of a mucky mess. As the party gets close to fog-shrouded walls, Ava takes a pass around the ruin. She returns and reports no sign of activity within the walls. The party advances cautiously, well-aware of the steel-jawed traps that might lurk in the mud.

The Wilds - The Kobold Conversations

When the other members of the party see that Ohwatoo is getting answers from Skarg, the questions pour in. "One at a time!" growls the mage, bringing some order to the process. Turning back to the kobold, he asks, "Now then, how many of these swamp walkers have you seen?"
Skarg scowls and looks down at his fingers, muttering. "Skarg remembers seeing more than one pack. Maybe seven or nine. Or eight. Not sure."
