Re: The Ninth Adventure

This time Robur quietly hums a hobbit tavern drinking ditty while throwing a coin into the well rather than himself.

Re: The Ninth Adventure

OOC: This feels like an important decision, so I'll wait for a few more players to chime in. So far we have 2 votes (Robur and Bilfur) to stay and investigate the well, and 1 vote (Dame Simonetta) to retreat south to area 7. I'm not asking for a unanimous decision, but it would be nice to at least get a majority vote. We'll pause here until we have 5 votes, one way or the other. You are welcome to plead your case and try to sway the other players' opinions.

To refresh everyone's memory, this is what happened the last time the party found a well full of coins: https://forum.immersiveink.com/viewtopi ... 853#p34853

Also a friendly aside, there are 3 NPCs in the party (Douglas, Fiona, and Ginger), and if nobody gives them any instructions, I will NPC them according to their known personality traits/quirks. For example I could totally imagine Douglas 'cannonballing' into the well, if you give him too long a leash.

Kiplyn stays put near the entry and watches Robur wander off to the well. "I think this might end badly, but what do I know."

"Douglas, Fiona, and Ginger!" calls Robur. "You better come with me to the fountain where you are safe. No foolishness! Don't do anything without my say so. I will just toss a coin into it and see what happens."

Re: The Ninth Adventure

Noh stays behind Kiplyn, which I think puts him at least between Kiplyn and the Dame. I will stay near the stronger of our companions Carc, he whispers to the raven, I do not remember so much splitting up when adventuring before.

Re: The Ninth Adventure

OOC: Okay, tense situation, but that's five votes (a majority) to stay and investigate the well full of silver pieces. You bunch are a brave lot; braver than I would be!! I would have 'noped out' as soon as I saw the screaming dwarf statue, but that's just me.

Robur tosses a silver coin into the well with a loud "splash." He feels slightly more experienced! Not a full experience point, but if he was hovering right at the brink of leveling up, it might put him over the edge.

What next?

Dame Simonetta continues guarding, watching the two passages heading north.

Re: The Ninth Adventure

Dougal shakes his head and quietly follows the others south to the well. He keeps a careful eye on any other passages exiting the room.
