[OOC] Dungeon Builder Monster Extraordinaire

[Dark Cloud]

@Mae If anything I misjudged the situation and in my thoughtfulness I directed my anger @Kenshi and he didn't deserve that. Your my friend Kenshi and I acted like a real jerk, I'm sorry bud.

[Mae]

@Kenshi@Dark Cloud I agree with Poohead, I'm really enjoying roleplaying with everyone here and I like spending time with y'all :D

@POOHEAD189 Pentagram sounds perfect. You could even stick an unnecessary throne in that corner so he can overlook their work with 10% extra disapproving judgement.

I like the idea of past the maze personally because the maze is designed to split up adventuring parties, but it could be jsut as good to have it before the maze because who expects to enter a mineshaft and come out in a maze?

[Dark Cloud]

@Mae I keep asking about the loot phase cause Zaz'ak was in the cart. I've been trying to figure out a way to post IC but am like "How?".

[Dark Cloud]

I mean Zaz'ak probably goes down to the others making excuses about running away. Then to make up for it tells them about the cart.

[VeyrinDay]

I vote for Workshop as the Tier 3 room

also, is it possible to have a silhouette of Iziza on the circular Minion's Lair @Mae?

[POOHEAD189]

I think I'll follow the illustrious DM's advice and go past the maze. I wouldn't want some adventurers screwing with Phardax's projects.

@Mae Oh, the throne is a grand idea.

[Dark Cloud]

@Mae@POOHEAD189@VeyrinDay@Kenshi

Do you guys think the Creature Lair would function better connected to the maze or where it currently is?

[Mae]

@Dark Cloud tell you what, it's been a while since anyone's been rolling anything and it might take another day or two to get the dungeon built up. So how about we just do the Loot rolls OOC now this time around and incorporate it into the RP IC when it makes sense. Revelry wont begin till the Lurking phase - next GM post - but it'll probably be good for people to know what they'll be doing for that.

Everyone receives 2D for their Loot Roll:

-> 1D for defeating an encounter equal to Dungeon Tier [Dungeon Tier 0]
-> 1D for Zaz'ak tracking down Good Loot.
[ No Adventurer deaths yet.
Target Faction was not above the Dungeon Tier. ]

1-3, Failure: You enjoy some revelry, gaining a dark heart. If you already have two dark hearts, you instead overdo it! (GM to advise if you roll this ;))
4-5, Mixed: You gain 1 gold or you can spend this on revelry instead.
6, Success: You pull a mundane or valuable item from the loot. You chooses what it is.
Critical Success: You can combine two successes into a critical to pull a powerful item from the loot instead. The GM chooses what it is.

[Dark Cloud]

@Mae That helps thanks.

[Dark Cloud]

@Mae We roll 2d6 or 3d6?

[POOHEAD189]

Phardax got a 5! Whether to take the gold or spend this on revelry is another question. Hmmm

[POOHEAD189]

@Dark Cloud Looks good to me

[Mae]

@VeyrinDay I can give it the ol' college try. Might take some tinkering but I don't see why not!

@POOHEAD189 If you don't have a preference for north or south I'll stick it on the top. Can't wait for an adventurer to stumble in there, mwhahahaha.

@Dark Cloud 2d6!

Right now the Creatures will engage the adventurers straight away, which on one hand means more damage to adventurers, but on the other hand puts these kobolds in more danger. You could put them after the maze but before the sanctum - the maze will split up adventuring parties so they'll be more likely to take on an individual rather then a party if you do that. If they're on the path to the Sanctum the adventurers are guarenteed to have to walk past them sooner or later if they want to reach the hoard. But if you wanted to prioritise your Creature's safety above all else you could put them on the path to the Mine or an empty path, because only few adventurers are likely to stumble out at each of the Mine's exits.

Those are all the options, anyway, if that helps!

[Dark Cloud]

I ROLLED....

6

[VeyrinDay]

Baganaria Loot Roll 5,3

is it combined or we take the highest number? I guess my succubus gained another gold

@Mae

Let's place the Creature Lair on the southern side of the maze than, if it's okay with everyone?

[Mae]

@Dark Cloud a 4 and a 2 is a mixed success, so you can gain 1 gold or you can spend it on revelry instead.

@VeyrinDay you take the highest number (or take both sixes if you roll a critical success)

@Dark Cloud I'll move it over! Would you like that path to lead to the sanctum?

@Dark Cloud

my OOC tends to look for aesthetics, but my IC is a monster so... whatever, messier is merrier

[POOHEAD189]

@Mae Oh also Phardax would like Goblin imps, but if there are none, regular imps or succubus imps work fine. I just saw the tag on the IC post

[Mae]

@Dark Cloud Moved!

@VeyrinDay I'm sure the Dungeon Lords will get the Dungeon to their liking over time. Though whether it ends up messy or organised... yep probably messy by the end still v.v

@POOHEAD189 Goblin Imps are a-ok. Looks like our imp loadout is complete :D

Here's the Current Map folks! The Tier 3: Mineshaft room is missing resources, everytime you tick the Mineshaft timer it'll get a little closer to completion.

Current Map

That just leaves a Tier 1 Lock and a Tier 1 Trap. I'm quite happy for anyone who has ideas on what they'd like for this to put them forward, now everyone has placed a room. I seem to remember @Lucius Cypher mentioning a pitfall trap which could still be on the cards for the initial dungeon (if not, can always build it during downtime!)

If multiple people have ideas they want in the initial dungeon we'll roll for it. If no one ends up building a lock I'll stick a super boring one right before the Sanctum and it'll be lame and you'll wish you picked a cool lock.

Tier 1 Lock

Locks are used to buy time while defending to set up proper defenses, maneuver around your dungeon, or beat a hasty retreat. They also serve to push adventurers away from sensitive areas. Locks won't best an adventurer forever - sooner or later an adventurer can bust through any lock.

When building your lock, first pick a lock material:

bars - bone - crystal - ice - iron - magical eld - roots - stone - wood - ect.

Then decide on a lock mechanism:

arcane - bar - bolt - heavy object - mortise lock - padlock - password pressure plate - pulley - puzzle - rim lock - timed - ect.

When an adventurer finds a lock, they will explore every other possible path until there are no paths left but the locked one. They double back, encounter the lock and make a lock roll to see if they succeed getting through it. Locks might alert nearby minions, allow them to set up ambushes, or keep sensitive areas safe.

Locks are rated from tier 1 to tier 3 depending on how difficult it is to get through it. Tier 1 locks are the simplest locks with limited reliability, such as a wooden bar holding a door shut. Tier 2 locks are straightforward and effective at keeping people out, such as a chained door with a padlock. Tier 3 locks are complex and formidable, such as a large steel portcullis with a pulley and password system.

Tier 1 Trap

Traps are static, well hidden defenses that are meant to surprise and maim adventurers wandering your halls. Each trap consists of a mechanism which details what the trap does, and a trigger which details what sets it off.

Traps roll damage as if they were ticking a timer, with each tick doing half a heart of damage.

Traps are rated from tier 1 to tier 3, based on how deadly they are and chosen by the player when it's crafted. A tier 1 trap is somewhat easy to avoid, such as a doorknob trapped with a poison needle.
Tier 2 traps are deadly, like a giant swinging blade attached to a pressure plate.
Tier 3 traps are the deadliest, likely to affect multiple adventurers, like a tripwire that releases an enormous rolling stone ball.

Failure: The trap is disabled or avoided by the adventurers.
Mixed Success: You damage an adventurer of the GM's choice.
Success: You damage an adventurer of your choice. Roll again.
Critical: You damage two adventurers of your choice. Roll again.

* You can't damage the same adventurer twice in a row unless they're alone.

Mechanism

The mechanism details how the trap is effective against invaders. Some examples:

crushing wall • darts • spikes • fire • boulder • sawblade • pendulum blade • gas
lighting coil • lightning arc • swing blade • explosive barrel • pitfall • floor blade • acid pit • ect.

Trigger

This is how the trap is activated. Depending on the nature of the trigger, adventurers may not even activate it - such as a levitating mage not setting off a pressure plate or a barbarian not setting off a magic sensor. Some examples:

pressure plate • tripwire • magical detection • illusion or disguise • sound • item removal • false door
