We had to fight Cave Ticks, and we dispatched them. But we did know we were in a fight.

Anyone been in a room with a bush you can pee on?

No, but I could really use one.

Which way did you head, Danny?

I went forward, so overall I have gone to the right and then forward. I am in the room with the bush now

exits back forward and left

I should just keep going forward until I get the entire perimeter scouted

If we have 15 deaths, that would be a great strategy! I can see it now... Day 53, 4 winners and Abe in a homicidal rampage as a level 6 Danny owns yet another outer ring skeleton.

Hey Zinto, how you doin? Thanks for helping me kill those ghouls. So what should we do about these (now empty) beds? Any reason to search them? Want to join up?

For informational purposes, I went left, Zinto moved right to find ourselves in this place. We're both looking a little haggard after the tussle with the 8 ghouls.

Funny! But there's a time limit on the game built in

Guh, hoping my plan pays off. I'm fighting the snake this afternoon rather than going to the sale. That way I can sleep tonight, search the chest in the morning that is in my room, and that way still move tomorrow.

If I go to the sale now, I can't kill the snake tonight (have to sleep), would kill him in the morning, not get to the chest until move time and then have to wait to move.

I *believe* I have this right.

Cold was the room entered,
and foolish the imp within,
a challenge to the drunken harp
and lifeless was it rendered.

Backwards, forward and left are my choices.

Adventure, ho! Companions come and be found.

Hmmm, maybe I'll try my hand at music:

Ummmmm, something something something
stab this snake while I sing
something something something
hope to open chest and find a ring
something something something
kill this motherfooking snake

Maybe I'll just stick to stabbing things instead.

Try the ale lad,
it may drive you mad,
but for all else this is sad,
you truly are very bad.

By my count, I can currently access 9 different rooms so I'm thinking that somebody has got to be getting close to me.

Eenie meenie mini moe,
catch a Djinni by the toe,
give him gold and let him go,
And to your hands a gift will flow.

Get this drunken harp some wine
*hic*
On tasty rations he will dine
*hic*
Hear me dungeon, hear me well!
All your treasures shall be mine.

Well, not all of them. Mostly the staffs and the gold and the ensuing stories to exchange with ladies for special time.

I'm clearly not in the rooms that everyone else is - no monsters to battle here. I suspect they are wisely retreating rather than facing my wrath. But it is hard to level up when none dare face me ... a challenge that I had not fully considered before setting foot in this dungeon.

Star in room as well?

If so, I suggest that you sniff the fresh cut bushes in that room. They are delightful.

And we should probably compare notes on where you came from and where I've gone since leaving that room (Day 1 start for me).

Yes, it has a star.

I started too rooms to your left. Where have you gone since being in the star room?

From star room - went right, room with crates. Went left to room I'm currently in.

If you go left, and I go left, we should meet in a new room that neither of us has seen so far.

Im going left then. Just dont bubble hearth

Well hello there Julio it is nice to see a friendly face. It was good that I found you when there were so many ghouls because I am not sure I would have survived by myself.

I am not sure what to do with the beds, I think that a search of the whole room would maybe also search the beds. Joining up sounds like a good idea to me.

I am going to the sale for my afternoon action I believe.

good to have a few people meeting up, we can start piecing things together. Looks like Danny and Hoops are on one corner.

hoops can you describe the room yo'ure in now?

Simbo and Mauboy, did you ever clear up how you both went right and ended up in the chest room? Were you on different levels maybe?

Simbo, can you describe the room you started in?

For whoever is working on a master map, I've now got five rooms mapped out between me+Danny and we'll be adding a 6th tomorrow. It seems like a good idea to help the soft-headed lackeys find their master.

JAG, dubb, Chief, bhlloy, mckerney, Kwhit, I'd love to have a description of your rooms you've been in so I can piece together this map a bit more.

There is an alter in this room, although it appears someone has violated it.

Exits in all directions, including an option with darker bricks.

Hoops I am working on one. What are hte exits from your current room?

Ragone has been in that room!

Although I thought he said there was only one exit to the right. Maybe it was a different altar, or maybe I misunderstood.

Yep, exits in all directions. If Ragone was in fact here before then I would like to know if he messed with the alter or if it was like that when he arrived.

Don't get me wrong, I don't have any problem with bringing a little chaos into this world. I'm just curious if it predates us.

I think Mauboy had to have gone left at the start, from what everyone else is saying about their rooms and what I believe the starting positions would be, that's all I can come up with. I only had straight and right to go, so I think I was at the top right corner. My starting room had a picture in it that could be Studied. Of course, it did nothing.

This apple may be organic but that sticker I just ate on it wasn't.

What was the picture of?

Mauboy, you said there was a staff in your room? Did you do anything with it?

Not sure to be honest. We both went right and ended up in the room yesterday. We did not start in the same room to my knowledge.

Ragone, you got some 'splaining to do.

There was supposed to be some sort of hidden image (think Mallrats and the sailboat) but my guy couldn't see it. I'm inclined to believe it was just flavor.

Oh and danny you met guzaks in your second room but was there anything identifiable about the room itself?

You've got to focus just past it. No, keep trying.

Those were "in" when I was in first grade, and I could never see the image. I hated those things almost as much as the guy from Mallrats.

my altar room only had backwards and right as directions..

i went right...

Current room looks like a natural cave.. all 4 cardinal directions are available

I would be wary, dear friendsssss, of rooms with painted ssssstarssss. My star wasssss magical.

Magical how?

Ragone, did you do anything to your altar? Fess up.
