You bring up some very good points. We will be visiting that soon, as the group explores further. How far does this cavern go? Where does it lead? However, the group has a magical item that allows them some shelter and another that provides food. I think it might also provide water, but I'm not 100% sure. -----Original Message----- From: Robert Deibler [mailto:rdeibler@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tuesday, November 19, 2002 11:21 AM To: dungeoncrawl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [dungeoncrawl] Re: Tuesday talk I had a blast last night, I liked the fight scenes, escpecially the last fight against the basilisk.This might just be my stupid thinking path. What is the group doing for food and water??? and what is their inventory status for cavern underdark prolonged travels?? hmmmmmm Not to drag the game down with how many climbing spikes do you have but to add another level of thought where are we getting food from and fresh water, does the groupf have to divert life saving combat spells to teh trivla pursuit of acquiring food and water and a light source??? Just food for thought -----Original Message----- From: jimkaren@xxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:jimkaren@xxxxxxxxxxxx] Sent: Tue 11/19/2002 5:08 AM To: dungeoncrawl@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Cc: Subject: [dungeoncrawl] Re: Tuesday talk Damon, thanks for putting that together! I still think that the first fight was pretty neat, mostly because the characters succeeded in turning the tables on their captors. It doesn't always work out that way. I'm really curious next week to see where they are, and to find out what's been going on with the exotic foes they're facing - > Last night started out with the party being pushed, in their bubbles, deep > underwater.
