Hey Ziggy, look for my post above where I mention I'm looking for ashes. I do believe you have found some. I would be very interested in obtainng them. the Djinni market tomorrow might have a way you can send them to me.

I got the feeling he wasn't sticking around but we'll see. I'll be exploring the room this afternoon so maybe he'll provide more information!

Careful you don't melt it all and flood the chamber, drowning yourself in the process .

I almost always do an option if one is given, because its more fun that way

any idea who's behind the attack on you?

[Abe Sargent]

Uh oh, someone is fighting..........THIS..........

[Thomkal]

what in the world is that? an electric eel?

[Abe Sargent]

Day One Afternoon is Processed. Evening Actions wil be processed as soon as I get the Sis'Sharr's actions, or lack of them, from our two lizardfolk.

[cheekimonk]

I have uncovered a magical mace. What are the options for identifying the properties of a magical item? I know the Djinni sell Item ID Powder.

Fellow Guzak, discount for you. Shiny coins for shiny vase or other shiny trades

Thank you my Guzak brethren-the only thing I have to trade is this shiny ring I just found in my searches. Hopefully I will know more about it tomorrow.

In this version of the Dungeon, the ID powder is probably the best bet as I think Danny might be the only one able to cast the Identify spell (correct me if I'm wrong). There may also be a wand of idenitfy or an encounter that allows you to do so. Just have to hope you get lucky, Remember though you can take an action to Investigate Item, which can function as an identify spell

Upon entering the room I immediately see a human figure wreathed in fire that is holding a halberd. After glancing slightly to the right I see that he is fighting a qwithi enrobed character that is teleporting around the room. The 2 figures are engaged in battle and both are taking damage. Both beings are shouting for help against the other. I need to make a split second choice on who to side with.

I have no allegiance to anyone except myself in order to survive this dungeon. I notice that the human is stationary while the qwithi figure is teleporting around the room. I am no fool and easily select the human to attack.

I now realize shit is real and the qwithi and I are attacking the Doombringer! I am nervous heading into my first battle and miss the Doombringer with my first thrust. Luckily my partner in battle hits his target and causes decent damage. Similar to my initial battle assessment the Doombringer decides a stationary target is a better foe and attacks me and hits for heavy damage.

Enraged I take a full swing back at the Doombringer and hit a major blow inflicting mass damage. The human staggers and the qwithi misses because of the movement to the side. A return blow is thrown by the human but he misses me entirely as I dodge to the far side of the halberd.

With all of my might I take both hands and swing my guisarme from one wide arcing side of me towards the other and catch the Doombringer mid swing with all of my might. The human instantly staggers and falls to the cold ground, void of life. The 3rd blow was a deathly swing which won the battle for the qwithi and I.

After adjusting my weapon and leaning on it for balance slightly I am able to discuss the situation with my allie and learn he is a Temporal Warden from the Eyal Plane. He was late to join the battle but was able to enter the dungeon nonetheless to become an obstacle for the combatants.

I found a magical Dragons Paw on the human and earned a large amount of experience from this battle. I am lucky to have survived but I am eager to learn more about this underground maze of rooms. What a first day!

A magnificent effort, congrats. I too would be interested in your Dragon's Paw if it is uncursed.

Unfortunately my tale is not quite so dramatic. I came upon a cottage where I saw two dark figures enter. I was given the opportunity to barge into the cottage for my afternoon action. I did so and surprised the two dark figures which I discovered to be goblins. With the element of surprise, I quickly dispatched one. Unfortuneately the other managed to slice me with his dagger before I gave his blood to Khorne. Nevertheless, a happy success for the first encounter. I found a magic shield on the corpse of one. I believe we have a Druid that can use such items (ntndeacon), if you are interested we should work out an exchange.

[Abe Sargent]

Got one sis'sharr in, just waiting on the other to send in an action or to confirm he's not taking one. Cough, timmae, cough....

Sorry 'bout that... intensely watching the Hawks game. Intermission so I am around for a bit.

Back atcha!

[Abe Sargent]

All done, Day One Evening is processed. See y'all in the morning fools!

[Abe Sargent]

Day One Results:



Heya Folks! We are your daily Sprite Casters, here to bring you the news that's fit to lose. Where are we after Day One?

Well, we had some interesting battles that was for sure. Due to the Pan-Planer games this year, everybody is super pumped for today's start!


In the Fushia Dungeon, we have the first round with 15 contestants. They saw some action today, but a large number of them are silly ol' fighters,and weren't really challenged by their lot. The worst fighting was when a Doombringer from Eyal was ganged up on an killed by a Temporal Warden and a Dungeoneer.

We also saw undead, spiders, snakes, minor elementals, and spikes all attack various folks. That's right, rusty old spikes! Sometimes things are a little odd. But nothing more odd than those garbugs that attcked, am i Right?

Get ready for Day Two folks!

[Ragone]

Well That was certainly an interesting first day.. That Eel was a slippery little fella..

[Thomkal]

Fushia Dungeon? Well that's something new and different. The Pan-Planar Games have definitely attracted a strange group of monsters.

Every Dungeon that's going on right now has a different color assigned to it That's more appealing than the B2 Dungeon, or the Right Corner dungeon.

[Danny]

Nothimg for me day 1, had my move typed out but didn't submit. Got mine submitted for tomorrow though

I'm planning to be as unpredictable as possible because I BELIEVE IN CHAOS. But in this particular case though...as a Taurian I can swim but there are icicles and I am concerned about them falling on me by melting the ice. I am assuming that the icicles are on the ceiling and have asked for clarification on that.

[ntndeacon]

I found a magic spear in a swing set.

[Abe Sargent]

Mornign all!

Yes, you can use an action to try an identify it. Last night I was able to verify that the Dragon's Paw that I have is a +1. Very nice little weapon that paw is... better than Ziigy's claws no doubt!

I'll be looking for zinto and JAG to see if I can barter for goods as I myself cannot use such a weapon.

[Abe Sargent]

Morning morning

[Abe Sargent]

Let's start processing this thang

[Abe Sargent]

Morning Actions are All Processed.

I am about to begin to delete some older pms. Keep your stuff as proof in case something wonky happens.

[cheekimonk]

My magical maccccce isss...a +1.

Sweet! Does anyone know what magical weapons usually fetch at the market?

[timmae]

After taking another look around the battlefield I do not see anything of value. It appears that the Doombringer had a weapon and some gold but that is all. The Temporal Warden has buggered off. Seeing nothing else of value I decide to move on to another area. I decide going through the left opening onto the next room is the best way to proceed at this point. It allows me to get back to my starting point and/or meet up with someone who finds themselves in the blinking star room should that need arise.

[Abe Sargent]

Chief Rum - Can you edit your character sheet? Thanks!

I'd be interested in that too if we bump into each other.

[ntndeacon]

My magical spear is still unidentified. Alas! Not even super cool phrases like Smite forth! worked.

[Abe Sargent]

We now have our first player to hit level 2!!!

[path12]

Turns out I couldn't melt the ice as I'm not a Flame-kin. Little bit of gold was all. Time for another room!

[cheekimonk]

Doessss anyone potentially want a +1 maccccce? Otherwisssse, I'll vendor it.

[JAG]

It was me. As I searched the cottage, a hobgoblin entered and attacked. Bugger managed to smack me a bit before I spilled his entrails. Unluckily for me, I received no treasure. A promising start at least.

[timmae]

For sure... I'll probably bump into some of yous guys at some point. We should be getting more and more info to try and piece together a map as well.

Hell yeah! Galron's gonna take this thing!!

I would suggest looking at the first couple of Djinni sales in Dungeon 2. A few low level magical weapons were sold there...or just wait till this afternoon to find out.

[JAG]

A good start doesn't necessarily equal a good finish. A number of previous winners finished the first week without gaining a level.

[JAG]

Oh, and I now have purple urine. Fear me.

Yes our "esteemed" DM is a bit of a trickster. In Dungeon 2, I started in a room with a harp and one of the options was to play the harp. It sounded horrible of course and Abe's comment was something like "what did you think you were a bard?

[Thomkal]

I thought for sure saying "Abra Cadabra" while standing on tippy toes would reveal all the qualities of my magic ring....uh what? That only works for opening doors? :::blush::: oh...um maybe I will just buy ID powder at the Djinni sale.

[Thomkal]

Congrats JAG! uh do I want to know why you have purple urine? Or is the ghost of Purdue Brad already affecting you?

[Thomkal]

I was the first to Level 4 in Dungeon 2 then got lapped by the field, and then killed by Player Zombies shortly thereafter (hi autumn!) how ironic then my first kill in this game were a couple of zombies.

[JAG]

Chaos works in fickle ways my friend. We simply ride its wave. On the plus side, I also have small wings that act as a means of levitation.
