Door fight! It has been said in d&d you end up fighting doors way more often than you fight dragons. In this case, the idea has been taken literally as the players had to negotiate their way down a hall that has a diamond in the middle of it. Evidently, both doors (clearly magic, like that needs to be said) want it. When Hargrove, the door they have just left, realized that the party was interested appeasing Sydni, the door they wanted to pass, scorching rays in the form of laser beams commenced.
After a bit of negotiation with Sydni, who wanted to make sure they didn’t try to make off with her diamond, they made it clear.
The party then found a path that led them to a room with what appeared to be the chaotic opposite of the stone inside Stacia’s head. Deciding that could be bad news, the party then found its way in a curved hallway. That is when the party randomly encountered a group of giant rats.
While the fight was fairly unremarkable, it did feature something we have not seen before- a Halfling fumble! Poundfoolish managed to roll two ones on the d16. Fortunately, the stakes were pretty low.
Also we have a new member of the party, Dangerous Dirk the… Dirk the Dangerous D… 3D. He is another of Rolland’s fine rogues, and we’ll see if he sticks around for long. Lots of bodies in that rogue graveyard now.
Dungeon Doors & Dragons it is!
