What may be done to save valiant Nightgaunt? Who must be fought to restore the adventurer’s numbers?

2762

Just use your pot of honey on him.

tecwrtr revives the Nightgaunt with a pot of honey. :-)

So does the basilisk count as one of the dangers? Or is he a separate entity only killed for a pot of honey?

2765

“CRUMPETS!! – Oh! Oh, dear me. I… I don’t know what came over me, but I was having the loveliest dream. There was a bright light… I heard a calm, reassuring voice telling me to come to the other side… It felt so familiar… so warm, so inviting. Then I realized it was Commander Brasco inviting me in to the Royal Society smoking room! A glass of Chateaux du Chassalas in his hand. Passable, it was! Very passable. As dreams go, it rather beats this one with the giant lizard and the cold, dank tombs.”

(I’ll start a new game in the morning. Thanks, tecwrtr!)

2766

the knots in the wall in tomb 5 slowly began to twist themselves open as if diaphragm shutters…revealing eyeballs!.. the frightened princess whipped out that wand and covered the wall in scratchy fairy dust!..the eyes watered and the glow faded…

2767

The basilisk is a third danger.

Love all the stories!

…and before the glow faded entirely, the princess spotted an object wedged into the rock, just below the closed eyes. She tenatively reached out and claimed…

My current game state against prolix (it’s not good) reminds me that I don’t know what kind of danger I was being. I DO remember that all my fun and exciting attempts to pull prolix into a deeper tomb have failed because he won’t take the bait…

nkoan defeats the danger in tomb 3

I will go after the basalisk in tomb 6, Dave again (I think).

2772

The scorpion falls back under nKoan’s relentless attack. It foolishly plays two red coins when it has no red, and this turns out to be its downfall! Leaving behind a pair of severed legs, the scorpion flees into a crack in the tomb floor. nKoan sees a glint of light from the crack, and retrieves

A globe of glass filled with mist (Potion, Bottomless) Ignore any special ability that the danger possesses.

Just a reminder: all Bottomless items are also Fragile (they are destroyed when the owner loses by 31+ points, or has a negative final score).

And the basilisk’s ‘special ability’ is a -10 score penalty to itself, so I would not use this item on it. :)

As the princess continues to advance through the tombs, she notices a new entrance before her. Using her wand to open a small window in reality, she sees a new danger lurking before her.

tecwrtr challenges Clyve in tomb 6

2775

This tomb-hunting business is a tiresome and sordid affair, thought Prolix. Maybe I will visit just one more before retiring to my study with the latest tales of adventure by Doyle.

Prolix entered the tomb slowly. It was a small room, and the prize lay in the center. He edged closer…and closer…

…and grabbed it and strolled out.

Maybe one more, thought Prolix.

2776

Who the heck have the princess a magic wand?!

2777

[in response to prolix]

Rawr! The troll leapt out from his clever hiding place behind the small table in the corner. He clawed at the air, knowing full well that the adventurer would be about to snatch his treasure…

His claws swipe fruitlessly through the air…

WHERE DID MY DRINK JAR GO!?

2778

clyve > princesses

In the dim glow from her wand, she sees what looks like legs running around. Stopping suddenly, they turn and run directly at the her. As they get closer she see’s, with horror, that it’s clyve’s lost pants! They fly through the air and wrap around her neck in a scissor-lock. Unable to breath, her vision fades as her wand’s light flickers out.

Who dares enter tomb 7!!

2779

I can’t update until tomorrow. Sorry! I’ll give you an item then, prolix.

2780

Really? A magic wand taken down by pants? I think not! ;)
