Tile of the Week #94

It's time for a Tile of the Week post! Today's tile is a watery cavern that runs right past a small finished chamber with double doors. Connected? Maaaaybe.

Wilds - Hall Crawl

Ohwatoo warns everyone to avoid the refreshed summoning circle as Durego examines the doors in the statue room for traps using his spell. No magic is detected, so the group opens the north door and works their way across the pit [I'm not going to mention the trap checking on each door]. There's nothing in sight in the east-west hall, so Raúguey, Durego and Strom keep watch while Ingvild and Mordikarr check out the secret passages and Maro and Grendor check the east hall that leads back toward the entry. It's all empty, as is the small room in the intersection.

"It's as if the place is abandoned," whispers Dagmarten.

"Maybe we scared them off, or deeper?" says Rawon. The cleric nods and falls in as the others move west toward the grate room, checking passages and rooms as they go.The rooms along the hall and just to the south are all empty, and most of the doors are open (the lever room is closed and appears undisturbed when Ingvild peeks inside).

Wilds - Fooling About

After the split-party misadventures of the last few turns, the group is ready to get back to the dungeon and put an end to the Necromancer once and for all. As usual, the random weather generator has the last laugh.

Start Date: April 1
Start Status: We won't get fooled again
Start Location: Outside Blackpool Maze

The Turn

"At least the rain will wash away our tracks," mutters Rawon as he watches Strom try to keep the small camp fire alight in the downpour.

"Always looking on the bright side, ain't ya," grumbles the dwarf as he succeeds in getting yet another piece of soaked wood to catch fire.

Wilds - Divide and Conquor

So, the party decided to split up last turn, which lead to a bunch of short back and forth with one side. The following (hopefully) captures everything that happened and gets us caught up.

Wilds players keep out, there are spoilers!

Tile of the Week #93

Here is today's Tile of the Week entry. Continuing the intersection and elevation change theme, this is a cave crossing with two cliff-like drops along the way. A finished hallway also connects to this geomorph, creating a four-way intersection.
