The Ruins of Ramat - 0-level funnel

[Max_The_Judge]

OOC: OK, I guess we're going in. Red Robert, bow at the ready, also peers in.

[Judge Perky]

OOC: Hmmm... Loot room? Or trap room? Why does our Judge seem to want us to go in there?

OOC: Who, me???

Small 10' X 10' chamber. Extremely deteriorated bronze spears, flimsy vertigris-covered pieces of armor and curved battered bronze swords litter the floor. A dust-covered bronze shield in nearly perfect condition lies on the floor.

[doddwaco]

[OOC: Can Ragged Rob reach the shield with his pitchfork from the doorway?]

[Judge Perky]

He can try. If you want him to try to extend his arm and use the pitchfork to drag the shield over, give me an Agility check.

[doddwaco]

(Ooc: agility roll: 17)

[Judge Perky]

Ok, well done!

You've managed to drag the shield into the other room.

[doddwaco]

Ragged Rob picks up the shield and tries it on.
"Hey, look at what I found!" he cries out to the others.

[Judge Perky]

Sadly, the shield disappears in a puff of smoke as soon as Rob picks it up.

Cursed! A black haze briefly obscures his vision and he feels a sense of doom come over him.

His new to-hit die is a d16.

[doddwaco]

Ragged Rob stands silent for a moment.
"I hate everybody," he growls.

[Max_The_Judge]

Red Robert: No wonder everyone that lived here is dead. Their shields are rubbish!

[Judge Perky]

OOC: That's the spirit!

Now, care to try for anything else in the room, or are we going North?

[Max_The_Judge]

OOC: Yes, to the North!

[Judge Perky]

Ok, marching order please!

[doddwaco]

[OOC: Marvin, Jenkins, Joseph, Ragged Rob. Max, how about we go two-by-two with each of us pairing PCs in four rows?]

[Chthonicthul]

OOC: Hello all, I am a friend of Dodd's, and Judge Perky has kindly allowed me to step in and handle fireinthedust's characters in his absence. I'll read back through al the posts to try to figure out how he was handling the various characterizations.. in the meantime, forgive me if the tone changes while I get the hang of it. Also, I've played a lot of RPGs and PbPs, but never done one for DCC (and I'm regrettably shaky on the ruleset). I may need a little guidance as we go...

[Max_The_Judge]

OOC: Sounds like a plan to me! Let's do it!

[Judge Perky]

OOC: So can somebody just list it out for me? Thx

[doddwaco]

[OOC: Max, do you want to match up your PCs with my list from up thread?]

[Max_The_Judge]

OOC: Yes, let's match up. Front to back: Xim, Copromancer, Honest John, Red Robert.

[doddwaco]

Marching Order: Xim & Marvin, Copromancer & Jenkins, Honest John & Joseph, Red Robert & Ragged Rob

[Judge Perky]

Ok. You walk out of the large mural room into the northern corridor, and after 20' you come to another room.

Heaps of dust line the floor and the walls of this room. A few papers and the remnants of a book or three are scattered about as well.

The room is at least 30-40' long and 40' wide. The corridor continues at the other end.

[Max_The_Judge]

OOC: Anything interesting written on these pages? Xim takes a look.

[Judge Perky]

OOC: Anything interesting written on these pages? Xim takes a look.

The pages are so brittle that most of them crumble to dust upon being handled. What writing you can see is written in a language that you've never seen before.

[Max_The_Judge]

OOC: OK, nothing to see here, I guess. Proceed through the exit?

[doddwaco]

OOC: Move on!
