Welcome nuworld and carkl3000!
You may be interested in a couple of summaries of what has transpired since the beginning of this game.
We are currently exploring Zelligar's maze. On a first delve, the party had been searching for ways to lift a curse that had been cast upon an elf, who had been polymorphed into a cat (
summary of that first delve). (
here you can find all the discussion with the original group leading to us following this cat to Zelligar's maze).
I had summarized our accomplishments during that first delve some time past.
After that first delve, we returned to the Keep to regroup (recruit new members), and had a series of exchanges with the newcomers that start
here. The new party was persuaded to head back to Zelligar's maze, where we continued explorations :
- we explored the throne room, turning up very little in the way of loot; we did find a staircase leading downwards (which we did not immediately use), and a sort of temple/place of offering;
- we failed to find a path to the SW of the maze where we expected to find what we thought might be some kobolds the hill people we had previously fought had encountered;
- we found twin teleporting rooms;
- we were caught in a trap that had Caelymbor and Azyrus blocked behind a portcullis;
- we found a room with a well leading to the second floor, lowered our rogue to have a look, but decided to entre the lower level through the aforementioned staircase ;
- going down the staircase we found a large, unfinished room with large mushrooms and a door. Turnre out said door was a mimic. Thanks to some fast thinking — and sweet talking — by Leothorn, we avoided a fight, by handing over a lot of rations.
- we continued exploring downstairs, fought a spider, found a troglodyte corpse in a cocoon.
- we continued exploring and found an unfinished underground amphitheater, empty of foes or loot;
- as we headed back from that chamber to a tunnel that was partially blocked by a mid-height wall, we ran into a Gelatinous cube, which we've just dispatched after taking some hits.
And that more or less summarizes where we're at. Caelymbor 'the Wise' and Cormac are the only two 'original' members of the adventuring party. Leo, Azyrus and Vita are three adventurers who joined for the second delve.
