Do we have to apply with the same concept as in the original? Somehow I don't think my ranged character will get picked over chillblame's.

Need to clean up reused alias.
Can you make inactive if not continuing? Thanks. Hope all is well.
Glad to hear you have your meds sorted out. I imagine that would be quite frustrating to find out the meds you expect to help you are having the opposite effect. I'm still here to take on the dungeon. We may need to find a rogue to join us.
It would seem that this experiment has failed.
Shae nods in agreement to Linx.
"Your statements would indicate you dont know much about the history between dwarves and orcs. I dont think either would save the other, it would be one less they would have to kill themselves. Bur I'm not a murderer, so I dont have a problem leaving them here to let the dungeon finish them off. They dont look like they have any fight left in them so I don't see them as much of a threat. If you insist on them coming along, they will be your responsibility to watch over them.
"Huh, well I'll be. Never knew some of them were smart enough to learn to speak something I could understand. Like I said, not used to talking to them," he says surprised that the orc can speak common. He nods in agreement to questioning the orcs for information but doesn't divert his gaze from them until the halfling speaks up. Stunned, he looks over at the halfling like he just suggested that ale was bad for you. "You may not have a bias, but I certainly do. Unless they're going to walk in front of us to set off any traps, I'm not interested. From the looks of it, that's probably all they're good for anyway. They can't be trusted and would turn on us at the first chance," he says defiantly.
Shae stops when he sees the orcs and eyes them warily as he clutches his battle axe. "Can't say I've seen orcs in this shape before. Normally they would have attacked as soon as they saw us. I wonder how long they've been here. I'm used to fighting them, not talking to them. Can any of you communicate with them?" he asks his companions, never taking his eyes off the orcs.
"I assume who or what is out there can see our light and is either sitting in darkness or has darkvision. Perhaps beginning a dialog will reduce the chance for a hostile interaction. Does anyone object?" he says looking at the group.
"I suppose we need to determine who will do the speaking for our group. Not to stereotype myself, but as a dwarf, I might be a bit gruff at times. Does anyone want to volunteer?"
World's Largest Dungeon - sweet! I was wondering if that was the case with that doorway. Fitting that I ended up the cleric. Shae gets another chance at the dungeon. I played the same character through a few encounters back in 2016. Tried to use Roll20 for mapping, showing only the area we were in and I know I felt lost. I hope Thomdril reconsiders.
Granted it doesn't appear we have any other options than to step into the darkness, I hope this group is always charging ahead without investigating first. I'd be spending a lot of time healing them up, Shae thinks to himself before following the others. Relieved to find everyone is still alive, he scans the barren room. As he picks up the torch he threw, Shae hears the cough and quickly looks in the direction of the noise. "Seems we are not alone. Let's be careful," he says to the others. He waits for Gertrude or Linx to lead the way, and follows, battleaxe in hand.
Shae watched as the gnome created light. "That seems familiar. I wonder if that has something to to with these words going through my head, " he says as he picks up a torch and starts to recite the words he referred to. Suddenly, a ball of light appeared at the end of the torch. "Well I'll be," he said with a smile. "Let's test something out." He walked over to the doorway and tossed the torch through, trying to see what happens to the light.
Shae looks around at the assembled group. "Does everyone have everything, or at least something? I have a sense of a strong connection to some greater being and I have a holy symbol in my backpack so I must be some sort of holy person. Hopefully more will come to me as we go along." He points to the door by the racks. "It looks like this is the only way out. Anyone have an the ability to check for traps?" While he waits, he tries to peer through the opening at what is beyond.
Are we moving forward with the 5 of us? Doing a little stalking, I mean investigating, it looks like the gnome fighter player has joined 2 games and started running 2 others. I'm going to guess he's out. I see 2 or 3 people who rolled but didn't submit anything. Could reach out to them if we want a 6th.
Shae searches the shelves for his equipment.
He smiles when he sees his armor and quickly dons it. He then spots his battleaxe and a flask of acid and is also able to find his backpack with the rest of his equipment.
1. Just so I understand clearly, we have: 10% chance to find armor and weapons
Is that right? 2. I'm also wondering the same thing as Antal 3. @Thomdril - I don't see that the gnome fighter has posted yet. Not sure if he's still around.
A dwarf sits up, grabbing his head in pain. What the ... What did I drink last night? Wait a minute, I don't remember anything from last night. What happened and where am I?" he thinks to himself as he looks around the room, noticing the current situation. Even more confused than before now that he realizes he's a prisoner, he tries to clear his head enough to remember what happened to him, but his memory is blank. As the floating skull explains the situation, his demeanor sours. Is this for real or am I dreaming? This seems too elaborate to be a prank. How did this happen?" he thinks as he gets up once the chains fall off. He walks over to the equipment, glancing at the faces of the others to see if it helps jog his memory. "I'm not sure how we got here, but it appears we will need to work together to get out. You can call me ... well, I don't remember my name. I guess just call me Dwarf for now," he says as he looks over the equipment to see if anything looks familiar.
Do we start with spells memorized?
Here is Agamer70s replacement cleric. This took longer than I thought it would. Still need to double check everything (especially my items as I reused an old character) and update my profile but I wanted to get something down for you. Shae: Shae Oakenshield Male Dwarf Cleric of Bolka 1 LG M Init +4; Senses Darvision 60’; Perception +2(+2 for stonework) --------------------
Other Gear Cleric’s kit (a backpack, a bedroll, a belt pouch, candles (10), a cheap holy text, a flint and steel, an iron pot, a mess kit, rope, soap, a spell component pouch, torches (10), a waterskin, and a wooden holy symbol), Explorer’s Outfit, 2 sacks, 50’ string, chalk, hammer, 5 iron spikes, Alchemist’s fire, Flask of Acid
Shae looks down the hallways. "Do we go forward to meet Longtail or explore some of the other areas first?"
Shae silently prays to Bolka, hoping to calm his dwarven hatred of orcs while Grumthar tries to get information.
Shae tenses up when the orc comes around the corner, but delay's his action when Grumthar speaks. Although uneasy, he waits to see where the conversation leads.
"Necə uzun siz burada olub?" Grumthar continues, trying to get more information. Orcish: "How long have you been here?"
When Grumthar points to the door to the left, Shae readies his battleaxe to attack whatever comes through if they make a hostile move.
"Good idea, Grumthar," Shae says as he moves back down the hall.
Shae looks at Klevum quizzically. "The door frame? Are you sure? What about it?" he asks.
Can we bot perception rolls for traps? Either the GM can or a player if needed.
"Alright, we can search those hallways later," Shea says as he follows the others into the hallway, stopping outside the doorway to the north to let Jamadar search for traps.
Shae looks at Klevum and Bollux. "Hold on. Let me check this door here first. You know, Jamadar said there were doors at both ends of this room, but we can go see what Klevum is detecting and come back." He then moves over to the other door in the south wall and looks out.
"There is a door down the hall here. Maybe that's where the magic aura you are sensing, Klevum, is coming from. I think we should at least do a cursory look at the rest of the doors in this room first though." He then crosses the room to the door the south and looks around.
Klevum is still here too. He posted in gameplay. I can pm Jamadar to see if he is still in.
Let's try to resurrect this game! It's not like I'll ever have the chance to play it f2f.
Shae goes through the door Bollux is next to and looks around.
Can everyone still playing check in so we know who is still around?
Shae nods his head in agreement. "Yes, it appears that this was several battles, so something could still be out there. Do you recognize any of these creatures?" he says pointing to the strange hyena-like creature, the strange insect-like birds, and the flat, octopus-like creatures specifically. Once he gets his answer, he points to the door to the north. "Let's start with the door next to the one we came through. Jamadar, can you do the honors?"
Shae listens to Jamadar's report on the layout of the room. "I'd rather not have these doors at my back. Let's at least check them first before moving on to the others," he whispers. "Does anyone recognize any of these odd creatures?" he adds. Before moving on, Shae inspects some of the bodies nearest him, trying to determine if this was one big battle and these creatures killed each other, or if this was a series of smaller battles and these creatures were killed by something else which may still be out there.
Shae smiles when he sees the suit of chain mail his size. Just as he starts to reach for it, he remembers their new found companion, Klevum, and calls him over. As he walks up, Shae sizes him up. "Look what I found," he says, pointing to the armor. "It looks like both of us could use this, but I imagine you could use it more. The armor you have on now would be an improvement over mine." Shae dons his new armor and takes the heavy shield, leaving his old armor and shield in its place. He glances around the room again, making sure he didn't miss anything and then looks over his new equipment. He then says a prayer to Bolka and sends healing energy out to the group.
He looks around the group to see how everyone is faring and then turns to Jamadar. "How are you feeling after that jolt? Do you feel you can continue now, or do you require more healing?'
Shae wanders around the room looking at the various equipment. He finds a light crossbow and a quiver of bolts that he takes. He then looks to see if he can find a heavy shield and a suit of armor that will fit him and give him better protection.
Shae instictively pulls turns his head and closes his eyes at the sight of the flash. Upon hearing the crackle and Jamadar's groan, he turns to see him slumped on the floor. He pulls him out of the doorway in order to treat him. First, he calls on Bolka to bring Jamadar back to consciousness.
He takes a deep breath, frustrated that he is not helping his companion much before trying again.
Once conscious, he casts a spell.
Shae smiles with an approving nod. "Seems we have found a little stash. Too bad it's nothing that I can use. Maybe one of you arcane types can use them," he says glancing at Jamadar and Grumthar. While they inspect the items, he walks around the perimeter of the room to see if there are any other ways out of the room.
Sorry to hear of your loss. My condolences to your family.
np, glad to hear you are feeling better. Sadly, you haven't missed anything.
Shae clears his throat waiting to see if the spell casters can tell anything else about the table.
Shae cautiously follows the rest into the room. "Be careful. We've already tripped one trap here."
Shae nods in agreement to Grumthar's comment. "I'm afraid I have not had time to learn, given my studies. Perhaps one of us should try to since we may be in here a while."
Shea looks around at the empty room. "It looks like this room has already been plundered. We can look around but be careful. Nothing to say there's not another trap." He moves over to inspect the workbench.
Hearing the click as the door is opened, Shae raises his shield to partially block the flames. He then looks over at Jamadar to see if he is injured. "Yes, I suppose you should," he says with a slight smile. He then calls upon Bolka to heal their wounds.
Nice, that will help buff us up. Should we pause until they are ready before we find ourselves in a battle? Although if they are introduced the same way Klevum was, we have to get through the battle to find them. :)
