Well, uh, apparently the Great White Saber-Tooth Rattleantulidilluphineoasaurus really enjoys the new Skittles gum.
Here you go, big fella…chew chew smack
The crisis appears to have been averted.
What a re-leaf. 
AAAAAAGGGGGHHHHH
That, my friends, is the sound of ultimate suffering.
:smack: less puns and back to business hey?
Now that we have steeped our souls in the darkest of wordplay, we can resume trying to get out of this place.
Does anyone know whether the Vale is still reachable?
Not a clue 
Looks like we will have to go… exploring.
shudder
Sunspace, where there any other doors in the hallway? There was the door to the blue flame and the door to the Vale… Wasn’t there a door with vines growing out of it? Did we miss any, perhaps?
There’s a door behind that dead ficus in the terracotta pot…no, it’s not dead…it’s trying to open the door!
That was in the lower room beyond the first initiation room, the initiation room with the (shudder) tentacles… and the last I remember, b]Hal** had his force of CHUDs renovating the place. Og alone knows what’s in there now.
We may have to go back there eventually, but for now let’s see what’s beyond some of the doors in this initiation room.
I hope that ficus is a plant.
Because if it isn’t, it’s… something else.
twitch
Don’t worry, bub, it’s clearly a plant. Around here, that doesn’t mean it’s necessarily friendly, of course, but let’s make that ficus like us…
If I remember my high shool botany (and I don’t), the best way to befriend a ficus is to toss a double handful of mulch on top of it’s root ball.
I don’t suppose anyone here has some mulch handy?
Let me look behind my ears.
Well, if you recall, the C.H.U.D.s were wiped out when the villiagers from Wherever The Hell We Landed tried storming the castle. So the basement is free for the exploring.
Of course, the only reason the C.H.U.D.s headed to the surface in the first place is because they were driven out of the sub-basement area by some of the really nasty things that took up residence there. If you’re looking to do some exploring down there, I’d make sure to get your personal affairs in order first.
:eek:
Maybe we can find a back corridor to that room that had the Vale door…
OK. I think we’ll need a cleric, a mage, a couple of tanks and a ranger.
Careful. You’re heading down a path that could lead to me DMing, which is not something you want.
Oh, that’s evil, Hal. I like it. 
One Ranger, coming up!
P.S. Hal, that was truly cruel and unusual. I bow before you!
