The Manse Macabre (concluded)

[Big Bene]

Aw, crap. Enough palaver.
Hurgar ignors dis bloody corridor and heads for da room to da west.
Movement:

Big Bene rolled 2 6-sided dice:

9 steps take 'im into de corner south of the fireplace. He opens de door and sees...

[mikemacdee]

Hurgar, turn 28:

...a handsome library stacked to the ceiling with books.



The carpet is fairly worn here, perhaps from Baron Martense's collective hours of pacing around the room as his reading absorbed him. Perhaps here the adventurers will find a clue to the source of his dark powers.

Does Hurgar enter the room or do other things?

[Big Bene]

Nice! Dat many books! Hurgar loves books!
A good book can help ye through many cold nights when adventuring in da wild.
Expecially when it's rainy... impossible to start a fire without some good, dry paper.

Hurgar goes two steps in and searches fer traps / secret doors.

[mikemacdee]

Hurgar, turn 28 (cont'd):

ZAP!



Hurgar begins to think, "It don't pay to wanna use fancy doors in this house."

[The Road Warrior]

"Hmm, Hurgar has vanished again...."

Caranthir Movement:

The Road Warrior rolled 2 6-sided dice:

Caranthir moves 3 squares East & searches for traps & secret doors.

[Sjeng]

AHA! TWO mysterious rooms, and TWO X's in the secret corridor! I'm gonna boldly walk east 2 steps after the Elf finishes...




Bravely bold Sir Eddy,
Rode forth from Camelot!
He was not afraid to die,
Oh, Brave Sir Eddy!
He was not at all afraid to be killed in nasty ways,
Brave, brave, brave, brave Sir Eddy!

Caranthir, turn 28:



Caranthir finds no secret doors...but he does find a pressure plate disguised as a floor tile, out of the way and fairly obvious to the trained eye.

Eddy Wizzard, turn 28:

Still want to move east, Wizard? Or change your mind?

[Sjeng]

damnit! another plate... Perhaps the top X's are traps after all, trapping a hapless adventurer in the corridor, and the armoury X re-opens the trap door? Or the other way around perhaps?

What say you, fellow heroes? (and please make it quick).
If not, I shall examine the candelabra further. Perhaps light the candles or blow them all out...

Do whatever you like, there doesn't seem to be any immediate danger.

I'll be stepping on that pressure plate on my next turn if no one has already done it.

[Sjeng]

Let's see what I roll:

Sjeng rolled 2 6-sided dice:

Well, I guess that makes my choice easy. I walk to the right, let's see how far I get.
