The Gaming Den

I'm so sorry for your loss, Maj.

I don't have much to offer except an attentive ear (well, eye) but for what it's worth, I'm here (and I'm sure the rest of the Den is too.) Talk to us, we've got your back.

From what I've seen it's not a sticky mess, it's a fine dusty mess - so I sprung for a Shop Vac. But I'll definitely keep it in mind (I thought angle grinders were more expensive than they are - definitely something to keep in mind if the concrete needs some buffing.) The job has been pushed back to...

The carpet itself comes off with almost no effort - it's really an embarrassingly shitty installation job. Like, Mike Mearls would actually feel shame if he'd done something this bad. The sublayer is marginally tougher, but I've got an ice chopper that does a fairly good job at scraping it off. (I s...

This is the story of how I'm going to transform my hideous basement into a combination office/game room (and also a finished basement for the rest of the family but who cares about those fuckers right?) So, armed with my barely-sufficient-to-handle-minor-stuff-in-a-condo toolkit and my total lack of...

My condolences to you two.

The khopeshes were hers I believe? That's what the Holy Man said anyways.

So we can take them with us.

Oh, definitely. We just don't know exactly what we have to do yet. We have a small excavation-and-repair issue that we need to do which will also let us run a camera through the foundation drain. Then we'll decide on what we'll do exactly - we definitely have to do some digging near the windows and ...

Okay... so this has been an exhausting three months. Started with some water infiltrations in the basement in early Jan. Not the catastrophe it could have been since it wasn't a huge flood and we were planning on redoing the basement anyway. Then our baby got born a month in advance, only to catch a...

In order: Holy Man, Gates, Ulrakaah then leave

Let's retcon that we helped Fossick's daughter, lose the items we gained from it (and maybe a couple of extra cures to account for the skill bonus we benefited from) and just continue as if we had the smoke oil still in our possession.

Dawn due to no other options.

Take a swig. We're running out of sections to find more smoke oil, can't afford to avoid any potentially useful content.

It's probably just going to be a "you took too long here's a demon" trap but the names seem important, so ask.

explore the streets

Let's not piss off the imps anymore than we have to. Straight attack.

Leave the road - I figure at some point the boots will run out.

(If the maid can auto-break all our smoke oil, maybe we're not screwed yet?)

Go with Sly's plan.

I really, really want that box. Let's go get money.

Given that we're out of smoke oil I don't think we can afford to avoid encounters and their potential rewards.

Straight ahead into the field of demons.

Ask about the adventurer. Then, if we still have a choice, DO NOT DRINK SKULLBUSTER.

Deathstone feels like a replaceable "autokill some dude" item, whereas Horn of Plenty feels like it could be a plot coupon. Although maybe it's "free provisions forever" instead. But maybe it can make Smoke Oil too.

Harp, Horn and Medallion I think.

Run bravely away.

There's room to move it, but it doesn't improve the situation noticeably. I wouldn't be surprised if it ended up being part of the overall solution however.

I kinda want to hold our gold for the inevitable trading caravan full of food.

Use the ointment.

So, back to my acoustic horror story. The good news is that there's some air gap between the vent and the plywood. The additional bad news: 1-Forgot to mention there was a light fixture right above where I put my gaming table. Ergo, there's now a big round hole in the plywood there, just to ensure m...
