"Couldn't even give me a sword, I'm a knight o-" She looks down at the crumbling stairs, "Oh man this is not great," she gently tried to poke forward with one boot over the other. "Maybe I shouldn't be doing this in full plate" She found a loose bit of rope and grabbed it to help her climb downwards.

Despite its lurid smell and the temptation to quench her growing thirst, she ignored it and stepped through the door. Almost immediately, another dizzy spell caught up with her. ??? posted:She'd fenced. An affectation. An excuse to be together as he trained. Lonely Oozemancer posted:"-some samples?" She struggled to comprehend what he had said, this robed figure she'd staggered into, but violence was a language far easier to read. She ducked forward, past the whip-like appendage - it went for the face, exposed flesh - and quick-stepped in a circle behind the man, before shoving with all her remaining might and kicking where the back of knees should by all rights be. He was still trying to reel in his appendage when he tumbled and the weight of a heel connected with his neck. Lydia leaned in, voice not much louder than a whisper. "First blood."

Renault "Renny" Pennysworthcode:Within the carved out space in the rock floor there was what looked like a stone table and chairs. Near one of the chair-like rocks was the other man who'd finished killing off the rats with me earlier. "Hello. I'm Jack," the man said, relaxing a bit in this safe space. "Anyone else here from Earth?" "I'm from the Munde." I said, taking a seat. "At least I think I was. The name's Renny." "I see you've got a weapon already," I continued, nodding towards his rat sword. "I found one of these just a little bit ago." I produced the vial of cloudy liquid from a pocket in my flimsy coat and swirled it a little to make the magic inside apparent. "So keep your eyes peeled." I offered, despite having no idea what that meant. > Moving Down from E7.

That she would regret this, her lonely path, her abject lack of sacrifices to feed into the grinder of the Sanarkan Depths. Regret that she could not do precisely what the Glass Queen was doing. "Foul fiend." Mouth awash with the tang of metal, Lydia staggered into the next room. Lydia goes left.

Just then, there was a yell and a loud crash as a young man came sliding down a ramp and slammed into a wall of ornamental spikes. Yowch! As the pained man tried to extricate himself, another man came sliding down the ramp at much more controlled speed. He didn't wind up crushing and injuring the other one further, thankfully. "Uh... is everyone okay?" I offered meekly, trying to be of help to the two newcomers. "There's nothing much in this room, so we're going to go further down..." In the chamber beneath, a expansive dark hallway yawned ahead, lined with immaculately-carved statues of people trapped in torturous poses. I could feel their frozen eyes stripping bare my soul. They all sought my help, to be freed from their stony prisons. I didn't bear to look. E8) Grimacing Statues: 1d20 19 > Moving East from E8.

Ask something of the Sage, and he will answer truthfully, but he will also ask you a question, which you will need to answer truthfully. "Umm... Where is the dormant Annulus?"

Name: Lionel | Location: E7 -> E8 HP: 5/5 | Stress: 1/10 | Corruption: 0/10 Lionel stuck his arms out wide, trying to slow, or at least control, his descent. He reached the bottom and carried on a few paces, letting the momentum he had built up slowly dissapate. Then he turned around and looked for Seth. "Are you OK?" Seth was already in conversation with two other delvers, so Lionel followed then to a room full of statues. The contorted faces only reminded Lionel of his last look into a mirror. E8: Grimacing Statues: 1d20 17 Heading East afterwards.

Servilla MMLVIII HP: 5/5, Stress: 6/10, Corruption: 3/10, C9 to C10 Frankly, today had not been a particularly good one for Servilla. Feeling a certain amount of fatalistic acceptance, she plunged forward into the fire ahead. Firefighting! 1d20=14

The slaves of the Glass Queen went deeper. [Round Nine] "C7) Fungal Fiend (Fungal, Decay, Enemy) posted:Something growls in the darkness. A bear-sized... thing lurches into the phospherescent glow of floating spores. It points at you and says something unintelligible. When you don't respond fast enough, it charges, long fingers lashing out at your throat. You may not escape! [TN8]
"C10) Where There's Smoke... (Ancient, Fire) posted:...Smoke is coming through holes in the ground. You can feel the heat. It's not safe to breath here. [TN13]
"C11) Scratches in the Deep (Enemy, Ancient) posted:The room is choked with webbing, thick and greasy and pulsating. You are not at all surprised to see gaggle of tremendous spiders skittering towards you! [TN14]
"C12) Choking Mists (Ancient, Fire, Treasure) posted:You can barely see through the clouds of smoke. It's hot, and choking, and absolutely pouring up through cracks in the floor. If you squint, you can see some kind of equipment burning in the room beyond - it... doesn't look like it's supposed to be doing that. You want to turn back, but some of that stuff could be valuable. Dare you risk it? [TN16]
"E8) Grimacing Statues (Grim, Ancient) posted:A hall of ghoulish faces. Do their eyes follow you? Impossible... Or is it? [TN6]
"F) Splashdown (Safe Place, Ancient) posted:You find yourself in a vast hall with five doors. This is a safe place. More of the same swirling architecture is evident, the walls and floors something like slick marble. The instant you step into the room, water begins to trickle in. [TN6]
"H2) Forge Of Ancients (Safe Place, Treasure, Ancient) posted:When the door opens, you are assaulted by the noise of hammers against metal, strange machines, and a toneless voice pounding into your skull. This is a safe place. The wall bears the image of a crescent moon that seems vaguely familiar. <Insert Materia for Improvement. Insert Materia for Improvement.> [TN15 ((lower if Strange Mechanism was activated)) and a Treasure]
"I2) Sinner's Well (Ancient, Grim, Corrupt) posted:A crimson sore split into the filthy brick of the floor. It speaks to you. "Bring another. Wrestle them into my depths... And profit from it." When multiple people are in the chamber, roll against eachother. Otherwise, do nothing - you definitely do not feel safe here, however.
"J2) Sage of the Cave (Safe Place, Ancient) posted:You are startled to see a man sitting among the mushrooms. At least, you think it's a man - it's difficult to tell where he ends and the fungi begin. He smiles kindly, his toothless mouth puffing out spores. Ask something of the Sage, and he will answer truthfully, but he will also ask you a question, which you will need to answer truthfully. This is a safe place, but you feel strange.
EVENT: MADNESS IN THE DEPTHS posted:Virm had broken upon hearing the call of the Glass Queen. Unable to cope with the stress of mental invasion heaped upon the rest of the indignities, her mind gave out. Now she wandered, maddened and changed by this dark place. She has made her way to B, but now wanders downwards, attempting the chambers automatically. With each failure, her roll will gain a cumulative -1 penalty, and every person in a chamber with her will gain a Stress each round they spend with her. When she perishes, any chamber with her corpse in it will cause 1 Stress in any visitors automatically. A grim vision of what will befall those who cannot withstand the terror!  [i] ----~New Chambers Unlocked~---- ----~ Chambers Modified ~---- ----~Codex has been updated~---- "E9) Just Me, Myself, And I (Safe Place) posted:A small, solitary chamber with a mirror. This is a safe place. You're alone with only your own thoughts... [TN10] "H3) Recalibrator (Ancient, Safe Place) posted:The machinery from above extends and coils into the walls and floors, and hangs down from the ceiling in twisting vines that look almost alive. One such vine reaches towards your head almost tentatively. You feel very keenly aware of your wounds and your everpresent fear, and feel the boundaries between each begin to fray. This is a safe place. [TN5; You may choose to swap any number Wounds for Stress or vice versa] "I3) Bloody Rebirth (Ancient, Grim, Corrupt) posted:The chamber is raw and ruddy stone, yielding nothing of value. And yet... your Corruption festers inside you. You hear a voice. "You care not for goodness and truth, you only desire power. Strength. I can grant it." Your companions hear nothing, and look at you askance. [Only available if you have 5+ Corruption] "J3) Hyphae Highway (Fungal, Decay, Enemy) posted:Your destination lies downwards, but the chamber is a tangle of mushroom stalks and roots, forcing you to clamber between them. Suddenly, you hear a sound - you're not alone! A great, shaggy thing climbs from branch to branch, closing in on you! [TN15] Dog Kisser fucked around with this message at 18:06 on Jun 29, 2020 |

GRAG posted:Wounds: 04/05 GRAG stared at the strange once-human being. Who were they to be down here, how long ago did they set out on this journey? And, most important of all, did it have an ace of spades? "Grrhhhhhhmmmmmmm...." "Ghrhork?" "Ghleeb." "Ghrharhk. [K1] Go fish? [TN 10]: 1d20 3 "GHLEEB!" The fleshy-figure flipped the table, sending cards flying everywhere. Clearly they were a sore loser.

Renault "Renny" Pennysworthcode:It was a single bedroom fit for a lone, solitary person, long disused but not altogether ruined. There was a dusty dressing mirror in the corner and a ransacked wardrobe next to what once served as a bed. At the very least, it was a safe place for us to rest if we needed. There were no other exits from what I could see. Someone went towards the mirror, and I couldn't bear to look, to wait and see what happened to them if they saw something other than their own reflection inside. I didn't need to rest or to mess with any full-length intact mirrors in ancient bedrooms, so I returned to the hall filled with anguished statues and sought another path forward. Surely, there was staircase that ran further down... > Leaving Safe Space E9 to return to E8. Steeling myself despite my fraying nerves, I searched past the hauntingly frozen stone figures and hung to the walls, looking for a way to go deeper into the dungeon. > E8) Grimacing Statues: 1d20 13 > Moving Down from E8.
