Hmmm, perhaps.

The main things I remember were the poison gas trap, for which I just had "save vs. poison" jotted down on my map. It didn't say "save or die", and in the heat of the moment I suddenly decided that "save or get sick" was bad enough. From memory, Gustave and Desmond were affected... it might have been rough if they both died instead. But I sometimes remind myself that I probably could have handled that better.

Also there was the party hooking up with Olaf and Victor again. Believe it or not, that was pretty much legit.

Eh? This bothers me. You mean we've had stuff within our grasp and not noted it for what it was? Or we've been close to getting loot but didn't really quite get there?

I meant there have been two occasions where the group was "this close" to a relatively big haul but not found it.

And yes, the bodies haven't always been looted; although this is usually just a pittance.

Desmond is all for that... Excepting for the room with the gargoyles and the room with the gas trap.

Hopefully I can finish it this weekend.

Alas, I didn't get any time to work on this.

I wasted my precious few hours trying to get the spread-sheet IFRAME to automatically resize its height to fit the contents. Unfortunately, cross domain browser security rules make it virtually impossible for one document (from the odd74 forum) to investigate the content of another document (the spreadsheet embedded in the IFRAME).

So, the only workable solution is to add a vertical scrollbar to the IFRAME so that the reader (you) can scroll the list of PCs down when it gets too long. It's clunky, but it will have to do [img]images/smiley/tongue.png[/img]

Really? I totally thought you gave us an easy out on that one with the chute leading down to the door outside. It seemed to good to be true especially since we were almost out of oil and torches.

Sorry I was gone all weekend. I was in the midst of that blizzard that hit the NE of USA.

Dorgan will do his best to make sure the legacy of Mads' Cold Iron Axe is a heroic and exciting one. As opposed to "everyone who carried it died".

Hey, Desmond ain't dead yet!

If I could just keep him from being greedy! Alas... it is his lot in life.

Be honest. I promise I won't META game.

Is one of those occasions in our basement of the house?

;D

I would guess you found that one. The golem armor is worth a pretty penny though you might have to break the goblin strangle hold on the Ket to be able to sell it at anything near it's value.
