Exploring Fun Times With Friends! (In Dungeons), Friday

[magnusrushesin]

True to the name of the class, today the danger shop was made to look like a dungeon. An old fashioned, cobweb filled, torch lit dungeon with the requisite level of bullshit that Gary Gygax probably came up with while on drugs. You know, the sort that DM's used to use to punish their players for the funsies. Ye old days.

At the very start of the dungeon stood a bronze plated statue of a bird with a small note attached to it.

WELCOME TO THE DUNGEON
COME ON IN AND TRY TO STAY ALIVE.

Because the teachers had a fun sense of humor. Or something like that. Look, it wasn't like they could actually harm more than your dignity.

Explore the Dungeon

Just past the bird statue there was just the one possible hallway to go down. It... appeared to be empty. But in that way that Griffin would say when he had a shit-eating grin on his face because his plan was coming together. You know. That one way.

Explore the Dungeon - Room 1

[magnusrushesin]

The first room you find is empty save for a large collection of clay urns and a door on the far end of it. Empty until the first party-member steps through the doorway onto a stone tile that sinks in with a click. As soon as that happens, a metal pole comes down from the center of the ceiling, connecting to a previously unseen base on the floor and begins to spin.

The turning metal begins to spark as it moves and, should any urn be smashed, the highly flamable material inside will ignite instantly. Anyone who deliberately broke an urn looking for loot deserves to be smacked upside the head by the rest of the party.

Disco Inferno plays. It will not stop until the trap is disarmed.

Explore the Dungeon - Room 2

The next doorway leads into a cave. There is no explanation as to why it suddenly takes you to a cave despite being in a some sort of building prior to this point. On the far wall, thirty feet ahead of you, there lies a treasure chest, surrounded by vivid yellow flowers.

The floor also has a yellow hue to it, further examination shows that it is a thin coating of pollen. It will cause you to sneeze and your eyes to water should it come in contact with your skin because seasonal allergies are a bitch and a half. Also flowers in general were evil, as Cara had pointed out a great many times on radio.

Stalagmites and stalagmites dot the ceiling and floor respectively, proving to be the only things not coated in pollen. Any lingering touch on either causes them to suddenly switch positions, those on the floor flying up to the ceiling and those on the ceiling crashing to the floor.

Because nothing is easier here.

Explore the Dungeon - Room 2... extended

Those who somehow managed to make it to the treasure chest (possibly those who stocked up on antihistamines) will find it locked. Any attempt to pick the lock will result in a sharp needle poking the thief in the hand.

That's it.

Oh, wait, shortly thereafter, an evil, mustached clone of anyone who was pricked arrives for a Jet Li 'The One' style showdown where only one can continue and the other needs to give them that sweet sweet power by dying. Hint for anyone trying to help out, you want to be killing the ones with facial hair more luxurious than any high-schooler was capable of growing

Explore the Dungeon - Room 2... still there actually

[magnusrushesin]

Having survived a slightly better version of the movie Multiplicity, the dungeoneers are rewarded by the treasure chest opening up to reveal a bird in ratty black robes. You have met the final boss of this dungeon... The Dread Necromancer Booby. He is literally just a deeply confused bird in a robe. An oversized robe. Honestly it's kind of adorable.

Explore the Dungeon - Victory!

[magnusrushesin]

Congratulations! You defeated a helpless marine bird. Truly a triumph for the ages. Your reward is Capri Sun. Because Magnus. Also a massive pile of feathers falling on you from the ceiling. Because Cara.

There is also the sound of Magnus singing the Final Fantasy victory music. Because of course.
