I swear I saw a....Don't get old kids I am here ... and I am hungry too any trolls or pudding left? I really like pudding especially black and white together oh and blood pudding. There is plenty of troll and extra smushy pudding. ..ooh the troll meat regenerates so theoretically you'll be less hungry.
Trolls...oh yes the trolls. let's just say that the trolls and puddings are defeated, that is quite the nasty encounter. You find 4 hatches, surrounding the large snake sculpture in the middle of the room. Each is about 3' in diameter and is removed by pulling it completely out of the floor with a rearing snakehead "handle"(somewhat like the lid of a jack-o-lantern). Let's call them A,B,C,D. None are trapped I believe you all came down hatch D. there were 3 other hatches up top as well as a door on the eastern wall down here. Who turned
I just discovered that the fine creator of this lovely game has taken a break due to some family tragedy. I wish you peace and healing. You will be sorely missed.
Just as TAK and his floral smelling mechanicals make it down You attacked by the now visible extremely large trolls. Each troll is armed with a 10-foot-long pole topped with an opaque glass ball three feet in diameter. Nasty
Inside the glass ball is a small black pudding(and not those pathetic pathfinder ones) that score an automatic hit. Nasty
Schism
TAK
Nasty as you climb down the ladder, a horrible stench grows thick. Ok maybe not for you. The room at the bottom of the shaft is large, and there are two wooden doors on the eastern wall. The doors are bound in black iron, and the doorways themselves are carved in a manner to resemble...you guessed it entwined serpents. The bottom of the ladder touches down in the middle of a raised section of floor, with the north, west and south sections of the room three feet lower than this central,raised area. A few steps connect the two levels. A dented helmet, a broken dagger, and a few other bits of equipment are scattered about the floor
Nope just a long shaft
Yeah the lever is attached to the hatch opening. No other lever is inside I turn back into human form and look down into room A. The floor of this circular chamber is covered in bones, bone fragments, and skulls. Upon closer examination, you see that all of them have been severely gnawed upon, and some appear very old. The curved wall has twenty crude drawings of leering, horrific faces around the perimeter that seem to mock you as you glance about. The drawings are chiseled into the stone and painted over with blood that is now discolored and flaking
Hatch B opens at the top of an eight-foot diameter shaft with a metal ladder at the center running from top to bottom, which lies 100 feet below. Hatch C opens to a square shaft, eight foot to a side, extends down from this hatch, with a metal ladder running down one side. The shaft is about 80 feet long. Hatch D opens to a 10 foot diameter shaft with you guessed it a ladder running down it's approximately 100-foot length
Nasty: Sadly there is nothing edible in here unless you like obsidian Schism: You find 4 hatches, surrounding the large snake sculpture in the middle of the room.

The floors and walls here have very convincingly been carved from the natural black stone so that they appear to be constructed of writhing, intertwining snakes of all types and sizes. In a few places, the snakes rise up as though preparing to strike. Furthermore, the closer you look, the more you see the horrible carved visages of humans being overwhelmed by the serpents, with faces and the occasional grasping hand all that is visible in the mass of snakes. After getting used to this unsettling form of decor, you can see that the area is basically an octagonal room, and the room's center is burdened with a huge serpents head made of stone, 30' in length and 15' high. The dark green paint that colors it remains, although it shows signs of aging
Your descent into the top of the structure is long and physically tiring. When you finally see the bottom of the chain ladder, the floor below seems uneven and maybe even moving. The closer you get the more it becomes apparent that the entire floor below you is covered with writhing ,black-skinned snakes. *Waits for Indiana Jones commentary*
As you traverse down you realize you are inside a giant stalactite!!! inside of a huge cavern. The cavern itself is 1000 feet wide, 500' feet tall and almost half a mile long. From the bottom stair you emerge onto a balcony-like overhang on the side of the stalactite . Below, you can see a huge stalagmite that juts out of the mist that perpetually shrouds the floor of the cavern. The top of the stalagmite is open, rather than coming to a point and appears much like Nasty's gaping maw filled with hungry darkness inside. From your Balcony, a bridge made out of chain runs across to another huge stalactite, this one almost directly over the open stalagmite below. A chain ladder drops down from there straight into the maw.
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
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
Schism: You scurry along the ledge rather easily , as you are meandering along a mud pot erupts below you covering you in hot mud. It burns for pts of damage. Jenny: What with the steam and stuff you see no other exits. AMH: You can certainly reach out and smash a stalagmite. It crumbles in a satisfying cloud of sulphurus dust. S/TD I made a funny on accident
Our group of heroes navigates the deadly boiling well and discovers the source of the heated water. The end of a "U" shaped hall opens up into a ledge overlooking a great cavern(350' long x 250' wide) The air is hot, steamy and foul with volcanic gases. The floor of the cavern is a field of bubbling mud pots, small geysers, hot springs and mineral crusts. The colors are rich reds, browns and yellows combined with blacks and greys. Terraces crusted with deposits from mineral springs extend from the sides of the cavern at several points. Stalactites hang from the ceiling, and merge with stalagmites in several places to form pillars from the roof to the floor. Occasional flares of ruddy light, combined with great bursts of steam from the depths of some hot springs will briefly illuminate small points in the room.
Jenny as you slide across the room you encounter a wire cleverly placed under the murky water(If only you had taken murksight). Above the north door a spray of fine oil covers the room, it bursts into flame upon contact with the water doing 3 pts of damage/rd. In addition the door behind you slams shut as the room begins filling with smoke making it hard to breathe
