No Adventurers Allowed: Team Basilisk Spleen (IC)

[begooler]

Reverse Dungeon Crawl
Team Basilisk Spleen
Long ago, the Karackt carved out their niche in the multiverse as builders of demiplanes. Their works were highly sought after by your everyday retired epic wizard or secret society of important-artifact-hiding-away-ness, and other unfathomable beings with unintelligible goals.
The Karrackt are no longer in business, and haven't been for eons. Some folks say they made their own new and improved world, packed up, and moved to it.
The remains of their workshops lay in ruins deep in these woods, accessible from free-standing doorways in a clearing. Their creations have become an overgrown, tangled mess of a labyrinth, filled with many dungeons.
Many creatures make their home here. Some wandered here and can't find their way out. Some have come here in hopes of accomplishing something. Some seem to have just been spawned by the labyrinth itself.
In spite of (or perhaps because of) the many permanent inhabitants, adventurers come to this labyrinth to explore and pillage its many dungeons.


The Dungeon! (It may be one of many, but its yours.)

The floor of this room is sand. Smooth stones, small cacti and other succulent plants with blooms are scattered about. The walls are exceptionally smooth and curve at the corners where one wall meets another, the floor, or the ceiling. Water trickles from one area of the ceiling. Once per day, an unseen servant with an equally unseen rake combs delicate patterns in the sand. The sand gives off light as bright as morning.

Room 2

This room has brick walls, a wooden ceiling with rafters, and a wood floor that creaks when walked upon. (Below the floor is a crawl space 3-6 feet deep with an uneven earth bottom.) Mold, moss and ferns grow near cracks in the walls.
The East half of this room has been newly opened up and does not have the wood floor or crawl space below. A few sections of wall made of packed earth have been added in the south area of the room, sheilding the lichen.
A 10 foot by 10 foot hole has been dug in the subfloor. 10 feet down, the material is stone instead of earth.

Up the north east edge of the picture the P is a pit trap and the X just south of it is a secret door. Beryllium was used to create the pit trap. I bought the door with money. The Pit trap has an alarm spell on it.

In room 2 I am going to be doing a bit of expanding and the A on the door is an alarm spell created by my floating eye.

I shall also coax the Lichen one square to the south and if I have a Xorn I will use the half rock to build a small wall around it.

A voice resonates in Glen's head "Welcome roomate, you have top bunker *chuckle* I'm under the floor boards if you are wondering.".

A Voice resonates in Scruffy's... thinking center.
"Would you be able to dig tunnels under the room with the creaking wooden floor? Roughly 10 feet down would work. If you need help getting through the subfloor without damaging it, I can help with that."

Spoiler

Show

Fln'Brax is currently lairing under the floor boards of room 2.

The voice Glen is hearing is actually Fln'Brax's minion who's under orders to repeat everything he says telepathicaly to whoever he happens to be looking at. He also has his Traitor's tongue aura turned off at the moment, so his roomate can respond.

Fln'Brax's familiar, a raven, is happily living in the clearing where it is more at home. However, if something were to come through, it's under orders to hide, the empathic link would let him know. Eye1 and Eye2 are under orders to relay any intruders they pickup with their clairvoyance ability between the two of them and then let anyone within their telepathic range know (through mindsight)

The minions have also placed alarm traps a little all over the dungeon.

Scruffy aids Fln'Brax and Arkan in digging. In Room 4, Arkan and Scruffy eventually reach stone, once they dig below 10ft. Arkan is able to pick away 5ft down through the stone, revealing lower caverns that rest below their garden. He opens up an entrance in the 18ft high ceiling of a cavern. The natural stone walls of this cavern are littered with carvings of unintelligible runes. A large boulder is found in the room. The floor is littered with bones, mostly of humanoids. There is one wooden door that can be seen.

As Lester investigates the apex of the topiary ceiling in Room 5, he discovers that no matter how high he ascends, the opening in the bushes is always just out of reach, though the floor does get farther and farther below him. The source of the moonlight is the moon, which can be seen through the opening. The moonlight does not change as the 'day' passes.

Day 1

Spoiler

Show

Arkan does some exploring around the new cave, spending a significant amount of time searching the area for any sort of traps, secret doors, or other such oddities (take 20). Should he find any, he places an Arcane Mark to mark the hazards and doors, and uses excess earth to blockade the doors (for now). The rest of the day is spent continuing digging as stated in Day 0. He also attaches a rope near the edge of the hole, so his less mobile acquaintances can get down there.

Day 0 Clarification: perhaps I wasn't clear enough in my description, but the digging isn't just going down 5 feet each row, but 5 feet each square I dig. So It's not a gentle, wide slope down, but a somewhat narrow, windy, steep slope. At A10, I would have dug 155 feet downwards, total, along with leveling the ceiling up to that point. The table added was meant to be the path I dig over a period of time, MUCH longer than a day.

[begooler]

Arkan discovered that the door on the west wall of the cavern triggers a pit trap. (If he doesn't have a kobold handy or trapfinding, he sets it off while searching, but to no negative effect since he can fly.) The pit is 40ft deep.
On the east wall, Arkan discovers a concealed door, which is a slab of stone that is camouflaged with the rest of the wall but can be slid out of the way.
Both doors open to dank, mildewy smelling tunnels that vary widely in width. The walls of the tunnels are uneven natural stone.
Arkan also finds that the north wall contains a vein of silver, which could be mined out. (At a rate of 100gp worth of silver per hour; the vein contains 2,000 gp worth of silver total.)

Arkan also becomes aware that adventurers can navigate into and out of the tunnels of these caverns, just like they can through the hallways in the garden level. Only depraved adventurers who are hopelessly lost end up in these tunnels.

Digging below Room 5, Lester opens up an entrance to the ceiling in a cavern.
A wooden door is on the south wall of the carvern, which is somewhat heart shaped, and roughly 25ftx25ft in size.
The warm, steamy cavern is terraced in 5ft wide steps which descend towards a pit in the center of the room The sound of bubbling water can be heard from the pit, and every so often a jet of steam and boiling water erupts from it. On the west side of the room, the empty carapace of a huge aquatic arthropod is draped across the terraced floor.
The steps in the floor drop one foot every five feet. The ceiling is seven feet above the highest step.

Spear Gauntlet Trap

Fln'Brax's exploration reveals another cavern, that opens up 8ft down from where the stone began. The cavern is approximately 25 by 30 feet in size. Its natural stone walls of this room are covered with carvings of unintelligible runes.
The floor is littered with bones, mostly of humanoids, and the walls and ceiling are covered with bioluminescent plants and fungi, casting low light throughout the room.
The floor of this cavern is 12ft from the ceiling, and below that is solid stone for another 20 feet. Eventually, the stone opens into a cavern as wide as one can see in all horizontal directions. The cavern is filled with water, which doesn't quite reach the ceiling.
This is the deep. Creatures that delve into the deep far enough that they cannot reach the place from where they entered will not find another exit.

Nothing is heard from the other side of the door, save the echo of breezes through the tunnels and the occasional sound of water dripping.
The stuck wooden door makes a creaking sound that echoes throughout the tunnel when forced open. Exiting the cavern into the tunnel Lester (as well as Fln'Brax and Glen if they follow) see that the tunnel continues both to the east and to the west. To the east, it narrows severely, and turns around the corner to the south.
To the west, the tunnel widens somewhat, to a little less than 10 feet wide, and continues for about 10 feet until another tunnel opens up to the north. Past this opening a few feet the tunnel stops traveling west, ending at an iron door and another tunnel turning south.

Fln'Brax follows Lester, roughly 15 feet behind. He also readies a swift action to go ethereal if they encounter something.

[Lexin]

Lester chooses the west tunnel, and if he doesn't notice anything dangerous when looking to the tunnels he passes, he continues up to the door. He again listens to check if there is anything on the other side, and if not (and Fln'Brax doesn't want to just look through the door) then he opens it.

The floor of this cavern is sand. Smooth stones, including some large boulders, and tumbleweeds are scattered about. Bioluminescent plants grow in a few areas. The walls are exceptionally smooth and curve at the corners where one wall meets another, the floor, or the ceiling. Every so often, a breeze blows the sand about, causing the room to become hazy and creating a shrill whistle. The sand gives off a soft violet and orange glow in the room, as a sunset.
A treasure horde is located in the middle of the room.

Cavern 19 will be added to the map when I update it.

Day 2

Scruffy regrows the traps surrounding the lichen in room 3 then proceeds to explore the endless grove wherein the lichen resides.

[begooler]

The grove is full of fruit trees of many varieties. The ground is covered with leaves, small stones, moss and ferns. If scruffy travels deep enough into the grove that it can't see the clearing, it will have to make survival checks to find its way back.

[Lexin]

The Eyeball enters the Trepidation Stance, and they both (Lester and Eyeball, which from now on shall be called Bob) scan the room looking for any danger
