You are not a very charismatic skeleton, but you are very tough from years of calcium. You also have a Small Bottle of Perfume and a Rabbit Fur Sword Scabbard, two items which may come in handy!!

There are six exits from this skeleton room, one in each cardinal direction and then up and down. You will have to climb on the table to get to the ceiling exit but it is currently occupied by a number of skeletons doing a dance routine.

You get those 2 points for pointing that out but don't expect any more handouts. You'll have to work for future skeleton levels and those often sought magic keys.

As a reminder for everyone, you are currently in a HAPPENING SKELETON PARTY with exits in EVERY DIRECTION!

There are no humans or keys in this room, but many a skeleton to talk to and various skeleton party goods like ROTTEN FOOD, SMELLY CIGARS, and OLD WINE. Objects in the room include a dining table, various mismatched chairs, and a coat rack with several large coats that could hide skeletons if there are not already some in there.

Don't forget the quest to find skeleton love!!

I drink some old wine and then make a joke, "ahh, a fine vintage... tastes just like the swamp water i grew up in" *swirls wine around in glass casually*

I search the room for a wig, anything will do.

You splash it all over your ribs when you drink, and you can't actually taste it but you think you remember how wine usually tastes which is good enough, then you tell your joke which (1d100 = 23) definitely TICKLES THE RIBS of the nearby skeletons, who all laugh and hop around and drink/splash more wine around.

I should mention for most rolls you are trying to roll under your stats to succeed, meaning you will succeed more if you have high stats.

I ask my new fridnds from my joke"say do any of you know where i can come any hats shoes or wigs" / then i skele-wink at City of Skeleton to indicate the wig is for her if i get one

d100 = 1!! CRITICAL SUCCESS

A very handsome skeleton smoking a cigarette answers your question.


"You should try the skeleton dressing room. Just head down through the trapdoor under the table. Just watch out for any humans!"

"And by watch out for I mean KILL."

"Just call me... V." He says, before taking a long drag of his cigarette and letting all the smoke come out of his eyes and nose. "Enjoy the party." He skele-winks back.

You find it alright, right under the big dining table and covered with dust (like many things in skeleton world) with a big iron handle. You can probably slip down without disturbing the other guests, or if you want to open it all the way and knock the table over I'm sure some skeletons would get a kick out of all that inedible food and wine being wasted.

alnilam

I invite the rest of my party to come with me if they want and go get ready to slip in (waiting for party members b4 i do)

Thank you for this spooky tune. There may be some under the trap door because a certain frog skeleton's human sense is going off :frogsiren:

You are the first into the SKELETAL DRESSING ROOM, a cramped place with coordinated metal and plush furniture arranged facing a wall of lights (some broken) and mirrors, with many skeletons in wigs applying make-up. The floor is carpeted and the walls are painted and decorated with a wallpaper border. There are many things adorning the counter on the side with the mirrors, including wigs in various natural colors, make-up of all descriptions, and a few skulls that seem to be detached from the rest of their skeleton. A slender skeleton in a turtleneck with an earpiece is talking loudly in a funny voice, "C'mon c'mon boys and ghouls, we need all dancers prepped for the stage and all sexy skeletons looking their absolute best! Get some more blush on those cheekbones!"

There are also a number of clothes piled on racks on the wall opposite the mirrors. There is a hole in that same wall, and one door (besides the trapdoor) leading out to the north. Not that any of you have a compass or would know that, yet.

There may be humans hiding in this room!!!

Scaly Haylie

i would like to crawl into the clothes pile and root around for something grody to wrap myself in like some kind of unpleasant dog sweater

I'm going to pretend to be supposed to be in the show and start looking for good hats and shoes

He appears to be the only human in this room, and he makes a sign for you to keep quiet.

You find some tap shoes that are enchanted to make the person dance until they have died at least one time, so they're just regular tap shoes for you.

It is a voluptuous wavy red wig that'll give you an unknown bonus to your skeleton charisma

I forgot how busy it is to run a game, much less a skeletal adventure.
