Re: Lair of the Mountain King: Turn 376
Belief takes the amulet from the small folk with a bow of thanks. "I shall reunite it with its other half. Say, you don't happen to know what is in this knothole do you? One of you must have explored in there at some stage."
If they reply that it is nothing harmful, Belief will reach in to grab it.

Re: Lair of the Mountain King: Turn 376
"Ah, here we go... A crown befitting my stature! Now, maybe finally the others will recognize my authority, and actually listen! And... Oh, what is the matter mr. Rock?"
"What? Why are you giving me that look? You can't be angry because of the crown! It's not a weapon, it's a head ornament! There's no competition! You can probably become best buds!"
"Well, not really, since we are already best buds and all, you know. Still, second best is still something, huh?"
"Or... Are you suggesting I don't need the crown..? You know what Mr. Rock? You're absolutely right."
"I'm already the greatest, most fashionable goblin of us all! Wearing a crown would change nothing about that!"
With that, Burned simply tries to stash away the crown in his inventory, where hammerspace will hopefully protect him from it's ill effects, until such a time he has to take it out again. Hopefully the others are right about it actually being the crown they need, and not a mimic trying to eat his brains or something like that...
But with all that said, the other goblins likely let out a sigh of relief as hopefully Burned manages to resist putting on the crown, instead either storing it away or finding himself unable to as he'll just drop it for a bit. Hopefully. This was all a big "if"
Assuming nothing of note happens, however...
"Well, guess that's settled then..."
"Now, I'm gonna find out what happens if you drink from this pool!"
And with that, Burned does indeed move over to take a sip of this "pool of wonders"

Figuring there's already one goblin being stupid reckless, Splits carefully climbs down the ladder, waves at the guy there, hops over the purple stuff, avoids any trapped bits and makes it over to his chief.

Turn 377
Eaten meditates...
... and Finds tries to channel the glowy energy into himself. It extinguishes the torch, but casts a pleasant, ghostly glow over his skin. He's not sure how long this effect will last, but it's pretty cool!
Meanwhile...
"Ah, here we go... A crown befitting my stature! Now, maybe finally the others will recognize my authority, and actually listen! And... Oh, what is the matter mr. Rock?"
"What? Why are you giving me that look? You can't be angry because of the crown! It's not a weapon, it's a head ornament! There's no competition! You can probably become best buds! Well, not really, since we are already best buds and all, you know. Still, second best is still something, huh? Or... Are you suggesting I don't need the crown..? You know what Mr. Rock? You're absolutely right. I'm already the greatest, most fashionable goblin of us all! Wearing a crown would change nothing about that!"
Burned uses the overwhelming power of his ego to pop the crown into hammerspace.
"I shall reunite it with its other half. Say, you don't happen to know what is in this knothole do you? One of you must have explored in there at some stage."
"In there? I don't know. We hide in there every once in a while and nobody's died yet. We are VERY lucky folk though."
Belief takes the amulet from the delvers and sticks his hand into the tree. There's definitely something in there... it's fuzzy... slightly warm... and juuuuuust out of reach. Dammit!
"Hey! This room is crazy! How do I get over there chief? You know... to bask in your glory as you do something stup...endous!?"
"Well, guess that's settled then... Now, I'm gonna find out what happens if you drink from this pool!"
Holy shit! He's going to drink from the pool! MOVE!!
"Yeah, I'm not risking that twice! We're lucky, but we're not stupid. See you!"
The delvers disappear while Splits clambers his way across the room to stand next to his Chief.
Tugs sighs and returns to the room on the left in anticipation of Burned killing everyone. Wakes checks in on Chirp (who is happily sleeping) and climbs down the ladder ready to help Tugs. Come to think of it, Chirp would probably really enjoy this room.
Burned climbs across to the pool's edge and scoops a handful of the cool water and drinks. Mmmmm! That was refreshing!
After a few tense moments, a delver pops its head out.
"Still alive? Good for you! Lucky folk are nice to have around. Looking good by the way!"

"Well, that wasn't too bad. He'll probably rant about being a 'golden god' or something now, but at least he didn't blow up. So, we gonna fight this ghost guy or what?"
"...Hmm."
"Is this it?"
"I just changed color? That's all?"
"Or is it like actual gold? I guess that would be pretty cool." he says, tapping his skin for confirmation to find out whether it's just color or something else.
"Like, if it was actual gold, then maybe one day we'll meet something that uses acid and I'll be like, you fool, you can't hurt me! I'm chemically inert!"
"I suppose it would also help against fire and stuff when that destiny inevitably becomes true... Although I'm not sure how I'd feel about part of me being smelted into commemorative coins after my death."
"Still, I expected a bit more than just this... What about some awesome powers? Like breathing fire! Or wings! Maybe super strength!"
"Besides, I liked being red..."
"...Maybe I should just drink again..." Burned says- Likely causing another delver evacuation as he really considers taking yet another sip. I mean, how many sips could it possibly require to become red again, right? Eventually he decides against it, though. For now
"But yeah, we should try and kill the ghost. I mean it's a human ghost guarding something of value, so we'll probably want it, right?"
"Just make sure you're fully stocked up on MP. We already confirmed they can probably not even be touched by normal weapons, so..."
"Hey Mr. Rock, you'll have no issues hurting a ghost when it comes to it, right?" he asks, raising the mace for a brief confirmation or denial. Following that he moves right, and, with nothing else to do but wait for the others to finish, briefly meditates, hoping to miraculously expand his mp pool further by both intense training and maybe some luck.

Re: Lair of the Mountain King: Turn 377
"Did we ever ask if the pool actually did something really good for the lucky delvers?.. Also if we are going to fight the ghost with magic, we should find some energy source and stack up on that so we are sure we have something to use against it rather than just try to drain the unlife from it."
That said, Wakes heads over to the tree to help investigate the hole by slowly using his stored light in his arrows to light up the hole in a non blinding fashion. He'll also see what kind of energies are available in the water.
Once he hears there are positive effects, he'll take a sip himself not ready to be outdone by the glorious chief just yet
1D20 = [19] = 19
1D20 = [10] = 10

"Energy source you say..?" Burned says, turning back to the pool...
"Actually, maybe we could just stock up on this water? Turn it into grenades to lob at our enemies? Like 25% chance it ends up benefitting us, 60 that it does nothing special, and only a measly 15 percent that we'll turn things much, much worse for us!"

Tugs, being an entirely rational person. Heads over to scold Burned for being so reckless. As he gets close, though, he slips on the slicked stones and lands face-first in a pool, swallowing a mouthful before he can stop himself.
(Well, I needed a way to get Tugs to drink when it would be completely against his personality.)
