Milor's Labyrinth

"Well at the very least Cookie should use that crystal he's got forst. I've got a feeling it will make us stronger."

"Huh, sounds exciting. Only been in here a day and we already lose someone AND revived him, we must work fast." Sarnor says this with a MUCH more normal smile than he has been giving.
"As for where we should go... I have no clue, I have no idea where we are in relation to the entrance."
*scowls at Ly'lana*
"What the hell is her problem?"
*looks at Finley*
"And where did you come from?"

"Well lad," I take a bite of my ration "While you were off in lala land, ya did some.... questionable things, and as where I came from, I've been in here for a while now."

@Renate:
Resting does not provide HP/MP.

@Nailo:
Eating the meat satisfies your food requirement for the day.

"... Questionable?" "Oh gods, did I grope her or something? I would like to think no matter what state of mind I am in I can at least keep my hands to myself."

"Nah lad, ya didn't do nothin like that. Well, at least while I was around. you just made an arse out of yerself. Also, be careful around the fiesty magic lass, the elf lass fliping the bird might be the least of your worries."

"Oh, you did break some things for no reason," I say.

"I see. So I broke some of her things?"

Malica takes a ration out of her bag and starts eating it, looking intently at Sarnor.. "Ya know?... I think I like you better on the cookie crack, Sarnor." Malica gives him a little grin. "But seriously though, you've been leading this whole time. Grow some balls and keep going!"

Sarnor turns to look at Malica with a slightly astonished expression followed quickly by another scowl. What did I do that got me stuck with two belligerent women?
"Uhhh, forward then...  I guess."
*Lights torch and continues down tunnel*

"Cookie, you should use the crystal first."

*Uses crystal*

stares at Sarnor as he begins to walk forward with a glowing crystal in his hand. I jog forward and stop in front of him with my notepad. *Scribble Scribble* "We should go back the direction we came. There were other paths and possible some things of value."

As Sarnor lifts the crystal with the express intent to 'use' it, it begins to crack.  Fragments of light arc across the crystal before it shatters and vanishes.  Party gains 6 exp!

The fucking RNG...

Malica chooses Weapon Expertise I, hoping that her new found attack power will actually be useful in future fights.

Now if i choose weapon master is a new set of maneuvers open to me or do i pick another from the previous ones when my weapon leveled up.

Renate picks spell recovery.

Bogrun starts to snack on his *Bedroll Lv5* as we walk

Hey Renate, your good at magic right? Can you copy this to my spell book? *Hands spell scroll and spell book.*

The maximum maneuvers you can learn with each weapon is raised to 5, rather than 4.

Malica satisfies her food requirement.

Borgrun satisfies her food requirement.

Exiting Stage Zero Warrens
-----Stage Zero Foyer-----
The group returns through the darkened tunnel.  As Sarnor's torchlight begins to wane, the group finds itself located just before the Moon Drop plant, amidst the labyrinth's own torches.  Just a bit more trekking ahead and there should be the large steel doors.

Continue backwards!

(Ippy, can I get the rules on this, please? ^^; And crud, I forgot that we didn't need to eat yesterday. I move my "eats Rations" thingy to this morning.)

Spellbooks permit a magic job roll to record a spell into the book.  A spellbook normally provides a bonus to this roll (Sarnor's should be a +6).  Attempting this expends the spell scroll in question, whether or not you pass the magic check.

The party makes it back to the steel doors, where a bungaloo of monsters are lying in wait!

Room Description from Before:

Decatron A appears!
Decatron B appears!
Decatron C appears!
Goblin Zombie Archer A appears!
Goblin Zombie Archer B appears!
Night Bunny A appears!
Night Bunny B appears!
Night Bunny C appears!
Mubat A appears!
Mubat B appears!

New Monster: Night Bunny
This engorged rabbit has swirling fur patterns of purple and black.  It's (one, two?) buck teeth fade into the air, flickering in tandem with the bunny's laser-like eyes.  Dwarves or any character with a basket-weaving capacity of one or higher may make a basket-weaving check for farther identification.

Borgrun does not see the flickering or fading.  He clearly sees two oversized teeth jutting from the creatures upper lip, and menacing laser eyes.

New Monster: Mubat

Kinda like this, but different enough as to not be copyright bait.:
