#Dungeon 23 Project - The Ruins of Mount Auyán (Day 009)

 We left off here:

#6 10' further down the corridor on the opposite side is another door. It leads into a room that is 20'x15' and the floor of the room is sand. You see nothing else in the room and the walls are bare. In the center of the floor the level of the sand is about a foot lower than at the edges and it slopes down to the center from all the edges. 

What do you do?

If you went into the room then you were sucked down into the sand and ended up in a chute that will take you down to the 6th level. 

Or you could have probed it with the 10' pole and found no bottom that you could reach.

Or you could have tied a rope around your waist and with your companions holding it, dived in. That could have had a number of difference outcomes. 

Or you could have left the room and went on down the corridor. 

30' feet further down the corridor you here footsteps and the sound of armor clinking approaching you. What do you do? There is a door to your left? Do you stay where you are or enter the room?

#7 If you enter the room it is 30'x10' and at the back of the room is a floor to ceiling tapestry covering the full height and width of the room 10'x12'. (The rest of the room is bare) There are three secret door, that may perhaps be found. 

The scene on the tapestry is a room with two doors in the background and wood walls that look like cedar, you can almost smell the fragrance. The floor is also wood, a dark wood and there are 4 chairs around a table made of a difference dark wood from the floor. On the table is a map, but the light is such that you cannot see any details. There are four knights sitting at the table looking at the map.

What are you doing? Did any of you bar and spike the door? Are any of you guarding the door? For the moment we will assume that is the case and you hear voices and they are attempting to open the door. Soon they may start trying to chop through the door as they are pounding on the door and yelling.

In the meantime, if you have continued to stare at and study the tapestry, one of the knights looks up and sees you, he speaks to his companions and they all look up. They look disturbed and standing they  draw their swords.

What do you do?

Some of you are at the door and some are at the tapestry, what are the others doing?

 *********************

I will say that creating on the fly in the moment is much, much, much easier than just sitting down and writing it out. I find it difficult to be dry and terse. I also chafe at not having players to talk to and interact with. I could not make a habit of prepping, I would much rather pour that time into gaming.
