marsden_online: (Evil GM)
Kobold Keep wrapped up last night, as the party incurred a quest in exchange for one of their members being raised from the dead, reached a point where it was apparent the item they were searching for was no longer in the dungeon, and decided to leave without further exploring the remainder of the lower level. This was useful timing as it was J.s last session with us and others would be disappearing over the next few weeks.

Before they got that far though there was an incident where too many of the party tried to be involved in investigating an effectively bottomless pit in a small room, and some failed DEX checks which wound up with several of them wedged or clinging partway down the pit. Some more unfortunate rolls resulted in some falling / being knocked even further down.

I managed to make one actual player fall over, as I described a set of manacles from some poor unfortunate who had been previously been suspended in the pit by a chain slipping loose and tumbling down - [ever fainter series of "tink ........... tink ..........."] ....... [faint "sploosh"] .. [HUMONGOUS ROAR!!!!11!]

A period of hysterics followed and I chalked up another first as a DM. Eventually they did all get out of the hole before whatever-it-was found a way up to them :)

The possibility of a sequel remains, if enough of the group decide they want to set out following the clues in the mocking note left in place of the artifact they were quested to find.
