Clyve, does this mean that you have to change your sketch? :D
THE DRAMA!
The fiery danger envelops prolix in a ball of flame and then capers about in victory! But a spear tip between the ribs put a sudden end to its frolic. As the light died in its eyes, it saw the empty bottle rolling away…
Prolix searched for the spear with two tips, but something had taken it, as far as he could tell. But during his search, he discovered…

I’m not going to change the sketch because I liked how the dragon was posed… I may make prolix look a bit less cowardly, but that’s all he gets.
That’s the spirit! This ain’t over, fools!
The insecure bejeweled beast, reviewing the previous exit of the princess and recent fiery danger mishap was ashamed, nervous, and HOT!!! It kept concentrating and reexploring the possibilities of the princess’s reentry… sweating profusely while imagining the tip of the princess’s dainty toe approaching the entrance to tomb 10…When she actually did, the exhausted creature felt unexpected relief, inhaled-exhaled, and released innumerable quantities of sweat…So much that the princess though holding her breath and doggie paddling for an impressively long amount of time, finally drowned…in a tomb of infinite perspiration.

It all comes down to prolix. Hope he doesn’t CHOKE UNDER ALL THAT PRESSURE.
Ooh ooh use the troll bone staff!

Incredible! The drama! The pathos!
Who will he choose to fight? I’m guessing not me!

Well, the first thing I’m going to do is steal that scalding broth from nKoan’s moldering corpse.
Only half of the tombs have secret items! But they are very nice items…

And what dungeon master wouldn’t put a secret in the final, most difficult tomb?!
prolix

Yeah, but +10 score bonus to the danger? No thanks!
I honestly picked five tombs at random for the secrets…

I figure since Dave engineered this giant mousetrap, I should take him on here in the Final Tomb.
Is there a limit to the number of items I can use? I definitely want the scalding broth over anything else as insurance. If more is allowed, the vial of mist (prevent danger from playing any specific card) and the hashtag bottle (prohibit danger from playing choice of 2s, 3s or 4s) in that order. I’m thinking no coins for the first, and no 4s for the second.
I’ll let my fellow zombie adventurers stew on this and weigh in before I venture forth!
You can use all of your items, baby!
The vial of mist: you have to pick a specific card, like no RED coins, not just all coins. Or you can say I can’t play the WHITE TEN. And so on.
The danger you are facing forces you to play at most one coin of any color, just as a reminder!
I like that you are waiting to hear from your (unconscious) comrades! I hope they chime in.
It does seems like specifying a color of coins gets the best bang for the buck, but you have to just pick a color arbitrarily. What’s Dave’s favorite color?
I don’t think I’m in any position to give good strategy advice, but your plan basically sounds good. Go for it!

in Nightgaunt’s voice oh and make sure you check for secrets first, just in case!
