Decent into the Dungeon (IC Thread)

"I didn't say that. I can come and go as I please. It is just easier to gather what adventurers drop. Echo-gnome-ics."

 

"Yeah I know you didn't say that. So the door's still open then? Cause someone told me I wouldn't be able to leave."

 

"I didn't say you could leave. I said I could. I don't use the door."

 

"I'm beat. I'd like to go to this resting area whenever it appears. Wandering around this dungeon has got me thinking about how exhausting exploring dungeons is." Hort sits on the ground for a moment.

 

"We can only go when everyone is ready. How about it? Anyone else want to rest?"

 

"I know you didn't say that. So you can transport us out then, for a fee?"

 

"I didn't say that either. I am not allowed to play favorites. I can say that there are mor layers to this dreded place then you know."

 

"So stop saying what you didn't say and say what you do.

Is it correct you won't help us get out directly then?

By the way, should we be able to leave ourselves without slaying Dredmor or dieing?"

 

"Nope, not helping you get out. Can't. Wish I could. But, the diggles get out. Some of the other monsters do too. If you figure that out, you might be able to get out too.

 

"Alright, thanks," Rantic flips a coin into Brax's hand.

 

"Ok, well, if everyone is ready, Lets get going. Everyone link hands, and...POOF!"
Suddenly, with no warning, you are standing in a different place. The walls, floor, and ceiling are white marble. There are rugs on the floors and tapestries on the walls. Brax leads you through the rooms.
"This room is the preparation room, where you can craft anything you like, or prepare your spells. This area is the dorms, and they are separated by sex. There are more beds upstairs, but there should be plenty down here. One nights rest on any bed will completely heal you. This room is the dining area, and there will always be food on the table when you want it. You get 24 hours, but you may leave at any time. Rest well!"

 

Torma shrugs. "Ugh. Is the only way in by teleportation ? "

Torma whispers to the others: " Hey. Before leaving tomorrow I suggest we take as much food in our bags as we can. It'll be something less to care about."

 

"If the food's not bound to this place, sure. Weird... The guy operates like a used wand salesman, and then this luxury? In a dungeon? I don't trust this..."

 

"Yeah that's quite a lot for 10 gold. But think about it, its better for his business to have adventurers stay alive longer, get more gold from the creatures in the dungeon and then come back and buy more things from him. The longer we hang around with good rest and food, the more money he makes in the end."

 

"Maybe."

 

(Backwards time slip)

"Lessen the damage, eh? And make my perfect axe even bettar?"

Berz leans forward.

"Tell me more."

 

(Continued backwards time slip)

"Indeed. It is a simple enchantment called Vampiric. I causes the weapon to deal a little extra damage, and you to heal a little health. It wont completely stop the axe from hurting you, but the healing will help. 8000 gold if you want it, and you will need to leave it with me."

 

(Current time slip)

"This place isn't bad at all!" Hort takes a very close look at everything, from the tapestries and rugs to even the marble walls. "I'd love to take a detailed look at all the stuff in this place but I'm dead tired. I'm going to go lay down, see you guys in the dorms!"

Hort starts walking towards the mens dorms

 

You arrive. There is a footlocker at the bottom of every bed, and a stand next to each for armor.

 

Hort removes her armor and places it on the stand. Hort also removes his boots and backpack and puts them in the locker. Hort then goes to bed.
