+Deadly Trap ((tldr: Traps can now be attacked or pickaxed, etc. Smart creatures may attack them rather than walking into them.))

Intelligent creatures may recognize traps and try to avoid or destroy them. Traps can be attacked, and have HP equal to [INT requirement*10] and no armor. Items used to Excavate can be used to attack traps, and the excavation bonus will apply to damage. Friendly units can move into a square containing a trap, however there is a 10% chance the trap will activate on them when they do so.

We remember our shared frailty in the face of a world bigger and wilder than any of us can truly know.
We remember what has been lost.
But the sum of a life is not a stone.
It is a ripple, moving ever outward. We can know it's beginning, but no one will truly see it's end.
Only part of their story has ended. The rest will be a tale of what they sowed upon this earth.
We are inheritors of their legacy, as we continue our paths changed by their presence.

Rodric took one look at the Exile Defender with their raised wall shield, along with the various warding magics shielding both the armored drow and their flank.

"I won't tarry with this... frippery! Sound the RETREAT!"

Before he stowed his arms to run, Rodric fished out a meat-filled paper-and-twine parcel and tossed the hydron meat to Romper.

"Here, Romper - some rare aquatic deli-meats, for that potion earlier! I say we get going while the going's good, eh?"

The red-armored warrior barreled around the nearest corner to see Bobby-Jack taking the fight elsewhere down the adjoining hall.

=================== ARCIS MYSTERIAD :: ROUND 20 =========================
• Ghorg casts Teleology!

Within an instant, the knot of magic woven by Ghorg is nearly overwhelmed by the maestrom around it, like a sparrow cast into a hurricane. The unbelievable, inexorable, all-smothering power of the Sea of Corruption advances from the south, and the medium sparks and roils with the tower's instinctive, frenzied reactions to the intrusion. Still, born as it was for this one purpose, Ghorg's spell departs.

It does not find what it seeks; the desired object is either too far, or does not exist. The little spell's first and final message is a plaintive "I am sorry. I could not," before it unravels back into the stuff from which it was formed.

Aware they they are increasingly the focus of the many arcane minds inside this place, the mage turns to go.

But something touches them. A contact at once both familiar and shocking.

Thaumitect bands, when lost or when their owner dies, reach out for anyone who has tasted such magic before.
There is one here. Not far, but not near either. The feeling lasts only a moment.

Honiko Bonik

The priestess of Nauvas searched out with her soulmind for the life-energies of her compatriots, and she found that they were all also struggling in kind. Klombo, Rodric, and Bobby-Jack were each in various states of panic, and Brick and Jane had both been only inches from death mere moments earlier.

Using subtle, psycho-magical signals, Honiko urged her teammates to get closer to their respective escape routes. She knew that soon it would be the proper time for her to activate the escape portal for her allies, but that time wasn't now.

Reaching out to her patron deity, Honiko Bonik prayed to the gods for guidance in a monotonous chant. She felt a swelling from her breast as the deific contact was made.

Klombo slumped to the stone floor in the opened doorway, a golem's arrow planted in the base of the man's neck.

Honiko Bonik

Steeped in the tidal flows of arcane concentration, Honiko Bonik felt something terrible scrape the very fabric of time and space as a multitude of souls cried out in anguish and despair.

That was when it struck her: Klombo's death - he'd been blown up, poisoned, and struck by a lucky shot in the spine, just as he'd opened up the doorway that would have lead to his salvation... Honiko tasted Klombo's blood on her lips as she saw Bobby-Jack Johnson and Rodric von Richter through the dying man's eyes. He slumped to the ground and relaxed his lungs and was no more.

A scream escaped from Honiko lips, unbidden.

"KLOMBO - NO!" Honiko gasped, and she felt a tremor shivering up her spine.

The green-haired warrior-priestess fell to her knees as hot tears began welling in her eyes. She placed a pair of tears upon her palms and laid her hands upon the stone floor where the lesser portal sigils had been drawn by Ghorg and she expended the last of her mana reserves.

"Portal: open." She commanded, and then she sniffled.

The lesser portal obeyed. Suddenly, with her true eyes Honiko could see into the kennel room with Jane and Slid and Brick and the others, as though through a haze.

For a fleeting moment, Honiko was reminded of her father, and of the day he hadn't returned from the mines. It had felt just like this, hadn't it?

Klombo felt no pain, near the end. He just fell down, sliding on blood and grime. Slipped to his knees, wheezing, then stumbled. Blearily, he saw Bobby running towards him. Nah, too late. He knew his body, knew it bone deep, and this was it. He could have kicked himself for how he'd gone out, should have been angry, but instead he felt... this was good enough. She'd been right, though; she wasn't ever going to see him again. Sorry, Ali. You were right.

He squinted up at Bobby, shook his head, and dropped.

Someone new approached the guild hall. Furtively - not nervously, but with an abundance of caution. A wiry, serious faced woman, she entered gingerly, took a look at the job board, and presented herself to Tozi.


"They call me Soft. I'm not, though. I need some work, and I hear you've got it. I've heard a lot about you. I... listen."

She kept eye contact for a trifle too long, started as though recalling something, then presented her membership dues in exchange for some gear.

Hello, yes! Is being very good day for posting, no?
The Guild


Izumi breathed a small sigh of relief as she materialized back in the Guild. That hadn’t been a close call, exactly—Ghorg had gotten them up to the entrance room well ahead of the Sea, and everything there had been cleared without too much trouble. But after the locust caverns, it was hard not to feel a little nervous when that dark tide approached. It had been chilling, unpleasant, and she knew she didn’t want to experience it again. But she couldn’t shake the feeling that the Sea was xalling to her, now that it is a taste.

She shook her head and pushed those grim thoughts aside. There was no Sea here, and she needed to review whatever ninja relic it was that she’d purchased. It was probably incredibly powerful and in need of a skilled hand to seal its potential. And cursed, too. But a cool curse, by like the last one she had. She stepped off the arrival pad and into the storeroom, sparing a knowing and mysterious nod to the new recruit rifling through the communal equipment. And yes, there it was. The Scroll.

She scanned over it, her widening grin clearly apparent even under her mask. Oh, yes. Yes, this was important. She closed her eyes and channeled her chi into the scroll, and suddenly she saw herself—or herselves. She could see through their eyes as easily as her own. Was “their eyes” the right way to say it? They were also her, so were they her eyes too? And it was awfully hard to keep track of which her was which.

Bobby-Jack did not talk about his past much, but it was regardless somewhat of an open secret that he used to be a highwayman, in the past. It was a profession that inherently trained one to caution, or at least it did those that lasted any amount of time. When one was part of a ragtag bunch of peasants, differing from their kin mostly by virtue of a couple crossbows and a rudimentary familiarity with ambush tactics, greed and thoughtlessness was the number one killer.

Is that noble traveling lightly guarded out of arrogance, or because they are actually some sort of archmage?

We already intercepted a taxman here last month, so wouldn't they have trapped the chests this time in response?

Sure their gear is bad, but would newbie adventurers really have that many scars?

These were the questions he kept asking, and these were the questions that often went unheeded, or at least they did until the rest of the outfit always, inevitably, got obliterated by some overambitious plan or thoughtless maneuver made out of glib arrogance. These were the questions that kept him alive, when others went and got themselves killed. These were the questions that had made him see friends die, over and over again, until he refused to have friends at all.

These were the questions he brought to that one blasted dungeon, after his change of career.

Bobby-Jack met KLOMBO's gaze as the man stumbled out of the door and collapsed, arrows in his back. The warrior shook his head, and Bobby-Jack replied with a nod, and quick salute. For a couple seconds, he stood there watching his unmoving corpse, but no longer than that.

"Let's go", he simply said as he passed Rodric, "There is nothing for us here, anymore."

Was he sad? Angry? Hard to say. If he was, he'd claim it was because the man still owed him a beer, and probably laugh it off if thus confronted.

But at least he didn't run away, the very first thing, this time. Was that progress?

"Appreciated, Danaz. Just need one more through."

Once their colleague had returned, Valter headed to plug in the accelerant with a grimace.

Jane Brogger

Jane shoots a nervous glance at the mini-portal behind her and returns to the Guild. Hopefully everyone makes it through, but there's nothing she can do from this side.

Action: port out

"They call me Soft. I'm not, though. I need some work, and I hear you've got it. I've heard a lot about you. I... listen."


Uh huh.. Yeah we got big drippy buckets of work, It's nice you're anxious to get to it. Welcome aboard and all that. You're gonna want to talk to the old guy at the end of the hall, don't forget to give him the secret sign: You wet your pinkie finger and stick it in his ear. He won't let you go anywhere if you don't do that. Wierd guy. Anyway, off you go!


Good, more returners. I'm very glad to see you back safe. I heard about what happened, I'm very sorry. I'm sure you all did the best you could.

Ashti, is it? When you have a moment, come see me, please. I'll be waiting by the bunks for anyone who needs medical care.

Fal-Tagra Nesshu - Slag Rolodex


Slag blinks an unnaturally bloodshot eye. The sounds of battle grow distant, muffled through the intervening barrier.

Cast Fleetfoot Lvl2 (-2MP, +4 MOV/3 turns)
Move E2 S8
Scarab (-5HP +2MP)


The inveterate scrapper bounds around the corner in a clatter of gnomish scrap metal.

we were somewhere around hesaim on the edge of the spinward marches when the drugs began to take hold.

FAL-TAGRA NESSHU


Nope, she isn't backing off. Brick spun towards the portal, slashing at the closest hound, and felt his blade connect, but wasn't sure if the hound went down, as he started lumbering for the portal.

"See you around Mistress."



Action: stab exile hound 1S 1E: 1d10o10+8 13
