Would you mind characterizing your DMing style? Perhaps along the lines of the "GMs of the Unseen Servant" https://www.unseenservant.us/forum/viewtopic.php?f=21&t=2417 . Thanks! Name: Balrog Systems willing to run: AD&D 1E Settings I prefer: Published settings, Homebrew Games run ...

Wow, Balrog & Sterling, two long time absent forum members, unseen since 2016. ... I think Balrog I joined a Caves of Chaos game with you back in 2016 but my character got no further than a single cave and two orc axes to the head. R.I.P Littbarsky the dwarf. It has been quite awhile, and I thi...

Thanks!

I cannot imagine why MonkeyWrench has not welcomed you here yet! Actually I have a rather active imagination and came up with 8 scenarios in the time it took me to type that, but nevertheless, let me, in his stead, say, "Welcome to the Unseen Servant!!! We enjoy candle-lit dinners, long walks b...

Hey guys, sorry I went missing on you a while there! I've been getting ready to sell my house this summer and all of a sudden had someone interested in buying it before I'd even listed. It's been hectic ever since with workers and lawyers and lots to do. Anyway, my apologies!! I enjoyed the game ver...

Alastair points to his ear and shakes his head looking round at the party. Then he backs up to put that broad corner opposite the door between his shoulder blades and readies an arrow for whatever is behind the door.

Alastair follows Alfri's gaze to the ceiling trying to understand his meaning. Then he listens at the door in the niche.

Unable to see any trap, but still suspicious of the cause for these creatures to have been crushed so, Alastair wonders if there is a large club-wielding sort of creature about. He examines the skeletons each with the objectives of 1) developing better theories of how they came to be crushed here, 2...

Thank you, sir.

Alastair takes the spikes from Sammy's belt and continues looking for a trap mechanism with an eye toward jamming either the trigger or the fall if it appears there is such a trap as suggested by the piles of crushed bones.

Alastair lowers his bow and rushes forward to grab Alfri's sleeve, tugging him back before he gets too close to the area with the crushed skeletons. He carefully examines the ceiling for a dropping section and the floor and walls for a triggering mechanism. " Sammy, fish out those spikes from y...

Assuming the light reveals no surprises, Alastair quietly, and keeping lower than usual, slips across the hall and presses his back to the wall, bow ready.

Alastair stops and holds his hand up to indicate everyone to stop. He may not be able to see his own hand, but he reckons at least a couple of those behind can. Once the group has stopped moving he listens carefully for few moments. If he hears nothing, he hisses over his shoulder, " Leaf, come...

After compulsively sniffing the well and hoping no one noticed him do so, Alastair taps shoulders and signals to follow. He examines the stairs for any traps then leads the group up if no one has indicated otherwise.

Those are stairs up, just outside the room at 10, correct?

Alastair quickly looses arrows at the goblin.

First arrow: Short bow attack [1d20+2] = 8+2 = 10, and damage [1d6] = 4
Second arrow: Short bow attack [1d20+2] = 11+2 = 13, and damage [1d6] = 5

Alastair holds his hand up for the party to stop as they continue east along the corridor so that he can scout ahead and then peers round the corner on the left and listens.

Alastair grabs one of the coils of rope for himself.

Alastair listens at the next door (hear sounds 3 in 6).

Alastair points to his ear and shakes his head. Then he backs up from the door, readies an arrow and nods to Sammy and Duin.
