MEPBM 2950 new encounter From: Pete Brown <Pete@fludge.demon.co.uk> Date: Sat, 13 Apr 1996 00:00:00 +0000 I have a high level character who has just investigated the usual 'dark hidden cave'. I know that a high level artifact is there and have received the following encounter which I haven't seen before. Can anyone help? It was during the afternoon that he first noticed the small passage leading into the mountain. It was partially hidden behind some boulders and it was only blind luck that he stumbled onto it. Wondering where it led he stepped into the opening and followed the twisting passageway deeper and deeper into the mountain vastness. Finally, a small light seemed to shine ahead and he slowed his pace. Looking through a hole in the wall ahead, he held his breath as the chamber beyond held hundreds of pieces of gold and a further chamber promised untold riches. Creeping forward to the edge of a gigantic stone chamber, he could see what looked like glowing objects and jewels of all types heaped in glorious piles reaching to the top of the cave. Worriedly, he stopped to listen, but all he could hear was the sound of a small wind echoing through the caverns. Nothing was moving but he was undecided on what to do. Should he... EXPLORE the caverns using whatever stealth he has GATHER the coins in the outer cavern and leave hurriedly STEAL as much treasure as he can carry and lug it back up the tunnel CALL out to see if anyone is present in the cavern SEEK out any occupants of the cavern and immediately attack SEARCH the glowing objects in the next room to see if they are ancient artifacts FLEE I forgot to mention I am a Dark Servant. My stealth is 40 so the first option would probably guarantee a certain reward however I really want the artifact so will probably go for the SEARCH option. Has anyone else had this encounter before? Can you reply by Email if poss Pete -- Pete Brown Pete@Fludge.demon.co.uk "Life is like a bowl of bananas" but do you know why...? Referenced By Up
