It takes 25 minutes to setup what will merely be a bunch of rolls for
Ninja - seems
Georgeous & Korisu headed back to lower levels to find a latrine or, failing that, a dark corner.
Ninja first searches the DracoLich, and finds nothing but wet bones. Seraching the room, adding his bonus to 90 winds up with a search roll of 145! Sadly, the three magical items he finds aren't very useful compared to what he has found in the past. The
Wand of The Shocker,
Check Her Out Medium Shield, and
Great Sword of my 11" Extension will all be sold for a generous amount of
Ag, all of which can be used in training in the future!
Ninja opens a door, finding stairs that lead up.
My Bone Knight finds a door that has stairs leading down.
Zebs keeps on avoiding doors.
Ninja heads up, to where he finds a ledge and an open trail. It is a path we can continue on later. So he goes downstairs, picks the lock at the bottom, and finds a laboratory FULL of furniture to search! (wowee!)
In his first cabinet, he finds the
Silk Nightie of Denial +1 action, +4 defense(!) 2 free counters each turn! 1/adventure 3 turns of bright light:+1 enemy checks, 2dmg, red attack-1 die!
What an item! Why wasn't Mental wearing it??? Maybe it belonged to a previous GF who denied him once too often...
Mask of Sexy Visage: +2D attack +1 all chex
Superior Potion of Attack : +3D /6 turns
A very good fighter's
Cu Ring: +2 action, +1 reaction, +1 spirit chex, +3AP in Armor Mastery!
We are so excited, that we break for the most amazing burgers ever. Veal. Beef. Porc. Chicken. on top I put the excellent spinach dip of
Beernut - which is homemade including Montery Jackoff Cheese, Cream Cheese and Salsa (for a kick). Along with the utterly badass beer mug that had been given to me as a bday gift by the wonderful wonderful
Beernut & Gill(ty). Rest assured - it's staying at
their house!
I ask you - what more could a Lich want???
Probably the ability to consume such treats; rather than have them fall thru of the hole in the bottom of his jaw.
In the desk
Ninja finds only the
Wand of Fudge Packing. Then he goes on to find a Potion of Spell Resist and a Halberd of Light, which only adds 1 to vision range. It was a lousy determiner roll after making 126 on a search roll. Of course, neither
Zebs nor I could manage much better than the Halberd had
we been the ones looking! It pays to have a thief with you!
He finds 130
Au in the room, along with a
Get Lucky Tonight Gemmed Ring; the kind with which you will get lucky when you give it to the right kind of chick: +2AP in Chaos Spells.
I look closer at the DracoLich bones to see if there is anything a HomoSapioLich can learn from them; but a roll of double twos tells me nothing at all. So much for the
Sapiens part.
We search for a secret door; and find a keyhole in the wall, behind the bookshelf. He cannot pick it. He searches for a key in the Lich skeleton, but finds nothing (due to a lousy roll!) He searches the desk and finally finds it.
We notice a jar on the desk in the small room it leads to.
He cannot really say what he sees in the jar. He tries to pick it up, but is thrown against the wall and suffers 5 BP DMG!
Zebs runs into the room and does...nothing.
Flesh cautiously summons a ghost which swipes at what I realize is a Phylactory - the 5 BP it causes disrupts the ghost utterly and he cannot maintain his manifestation on this plane.
poof.Ninja searches the chair - finds nothing, nor in the table drawers.
But in the chest is a
Boo-Boo Rogue Plate of Peeping Tommery:
1/adv heal D6(2 actions cost); and +10 to vision range.
The Bone Wizard tries to pick up the Phylactery, but also suffers 5 BP of dmg.
Impatiently, I stab at it with MY Phylactery, miss with 2 skulls, and suffer 5 BP dmg myself. I do not have enough to miss another attempt.
After a short discussion, we lend
Zebs all of our bonus attack items. He Zerx, and out of high teen amount of dice, 8 skulls connect, shattering the Phylactery uttery, filling me with 100 spirit points, healing the physical damage (which costs 10 spirit - 10% of my 'experience' gain!), refreshing my spirit pool, and suprisingly, making me realize how to summon a Golem and how to fortify my minions!
Mental is no more.
We decide to fetch
Korisu & Georgeous, along with any allies they might have found, to set off on the path under the ledge 3 floors above us...
