There's one stalagmite that won't be killing us in our sleep...
Hot! HOT!! HOT!!!
*Reaches into bag and brings out a heat shield.
"Where is the good stuff?"
Right here this is good stuff he says has he trys to hand Trapdodger a handful of scalding mud to eat.
Don't forget, it has to be ground first.
Oh I can grind it in my mouth for you. He takes a bunch of mud grinds it in his mouth and then spits it out and places it into Trapdodger's hand.
Did you remember to wash your hands first?
I put saliva on them is that what you mean?
Just checking. Wouldn't want anyone to get sick.
*Continues walking along ledge towards exit.*

Dusts off copy of Isle of Dread
You all make it to the exit, where you discover a throne occupied by a grinning skeleton . Mineral-rich waters, falling from the ceiling for many years, has encrusted the skeleton and throne, hiding all but the most general of features.
I need a perception check
Ooooh this looks interesting.
I search the slimy, watery surfaces of the skeleton to see if it could be an ooze living there.
(Oh, and welcome back!)

Tvashtri snaps out of his daydreams.
"By the faloodeh-like appendages of Al-Jazzazazazathoth, I was beginning to think we were never going to make it out of there!"
He tries helping Jenny poke around the gorgeous mineral formations...
...only to be distracted when he hears Agni momentarily slip a gear.
Sorry I'm late. I saw this nice shiny...
Wow, look at that skeleton!
It’s a skeleton! I bash it with my mace! Die, you undead abomination!
*facepalms*
AMH, is your only thought when seeing this that the skeleton might be some sort of monster?
...men.
I haven’t been wrong yet.
What about all those poor stalagmites that you said were Ropers?
Prove they weren’t. Those ropers fell to a single blow of my wrathful mace!!
Ropers leave bodies you can loot, those are now just broken rocks.
He did loot them, y'know. Rocks.

With the aid of TAK and AMH's mace you notice that in front of the throne and under some mineral crust is a sword and and on one of the not undead skeleton's fingers is a ring.
I could not bear to see this lovely thread sink any lower despite my disdain for what I think of the forum in general

"What? So sayeth whom? Oh yes, you should see the forum pentagons in New-Tashboor-On-Ruins-Of-Old. Too many are infested with all the wrong sorts of greedy peddlers, garish harlots, no-talent doomsayers, messy barbers, and most of the civic orators do no more than merely fit right in with such - why, some of those fora have scarcely felt a touch of urban renewal in over 1000 years...."
As suddenly as it had left it, Tvashtri's mind snaps back to the matter at hand.
"A-ha, fancy this!"
*nudges Tvashtri*
What is it? Do you know?
(nudges JRRT)
Hey, quit pointing that thing in my direction. It might go off.
*takes the sword*
This is sharp indeed. And it has magic. It would probably make for a mulch matrix partitioner. How wonderful!
*waves the sword before the others*
I am real glad you are my friend Jenny.
Oh!
*stops waving the sword, embarrassed*
Sorry. Wasn't thinking.
Then again, are you really a person, Schism?
Not feeling so friendly now.
I always thought it would be a good thing to not be a person. Then again, you can still be hit by charm monster and dominate monster.
"Hey me back I think you forgot about me and left me in that room. But I found my way back. "
Walks over and gives Schism a big bear hug leaving some drool on her shoulder as he does.
"Hi Jenny. Me back now. You hungry? I found me some good food on my way back too." Reaches out to hand her some rotting meat that may or may not be from some sentient creature not really recognizable now seems to have been beaten into a paste of some sort.
I thought you were right behind me.
Don't wander off any more, you may end up something's lunch.
Hey Nasty! Good to have you back.
*gratefully accepts the meat mush and holds it in her hands, which expand to cover the gift*
*concentrates with a happy look on her face as acrid fumes spill from her hands*
*opens her hands as they return to normal size*
Ahhhh... delicious! I like organic food.
Awesome! Secret passage!
Tentatively walks into the passage, waving the sword around in hopes that it will start to glow.
Hey, quit pointing that thing in my direction. It might go off.
That’s what she said.
I did say that.
Nasty lumbers down the hall after Jenny scratching himself as he goes.
"I am getting hungry .... I wonder if there are any monsters around I could eat?"
Oooooh a pit! There could be oozes living down there. How deep is it?
Nasty lumbers down the hall after Jenny scratching himself as he goes.
"I am getting hungry .... I wonder if there are any monsters around I could eat?"
You just ate like 10 minutes ago. You are not hungry. Your brain in interpreting boredom as hunger.
Looks down the pit.
+10 if it is dark.
"My auntie told me I have a very fast metabolismthingy which means I need to eat often and a lot. Also why me so hard to kill too."
"Maybe food down in the pit." Nasty starts walking down the stairs into the pit his club out.
Careful you don't fall.
