SESSION 101: Just a Little Deeper? (09SEPT19)
That’s what she said, but Ding-We was feeling town-sick. His plan did not gain much traction the rest of the horde felt a little light in the pockets and pushed for further exploration. Creeping further down the corridor, passing a number of doors left for later exploration, they came to a sizeable antechamber that had once been rather opulent.
At the far end of the chamber they had found a giant pair of ornate steel doors that followed the classic Nergalian style. All creepy in the open exaltation of death. The portal had clearly not been opened for many years. Evidenced by the buildup of detritus along the seems but the bas-relief carvings should signs of upkeep. The continued adulation of Nergal was evidenced here. Further inspection suggested that the portal was sealed notably beyond simple closure, magics ancient and strong were detected. An elaborate keyhole that the thieves felt was best left unmolested until they were jamming in the proper key. They almost considered Ding-We's earlier plan of retreat but them pockets were not filling themselves. A little more searching and exploring would be conducted.
In a room immediately adjacent to the antechamber was a sealed magical stone door or plate without key hole. This obstacle fuelled further searching in the outlying area that resulted the first guess being perfect. A room that had a bunch of holes in the back wall that contained all the murderhobo food groups: treasure, magic, possible death and secrets. The big secret was a lever that when Rammer gave it a tug the sound of grinding stone could be heard to the north east.
Collecting their loot they went back to the stone door to be greeted by Minos a humungous minotaur. Hanging from his neck was a great black metal key that produced a dark purple glow. The hobos knew what the needed to do, and as such they charged Minos with abandon. The beasts over-sized axe happily cut into hobo flesh. Minos may have had the guns but the hobos had the numbers. It was only a matter of time before the mob took control and brought the great Minos low. They then liberated the funky looking key from the corpse and since they were feeling chuffed decided to check out a few more local chambers.
There was more treasure acquired in short order. A horde of zombies and some other dead denizens of Barrowmaze both protected valuable for some long forgotten reason and were nice enough to be adorned in death masks of the highest quality. Mithril that the dwarves dreamed of melting down and reshaping into legendary gear. The hobos were feeling loose and lucky. We were totally ready to rock through the possible final portal.
Nah. “Let us go back to Helix”. So, they did an about face and marched off.
