"A team of 6 almost-fierce adventurers get their first look at the Serpent Temple"
Dramatis Personea:
Rei, warrrior - and would be paladin.
R'rova, warrior - striving for barbarianhood and possible sentience.
H'ssa, warrior - nobody mocks your IQ if you want a to be a Samurai …
Roland, ratling rogue of uncertain pedigree.
Pangur, kittypriest extraordinare.
Cymry, long suffering elven mage.
-------------------------------------------------------------------
R'rova: Big, isn't it?
Roland: Hey, the front door looks like a snake !!
Cymry: What were you expecting, a rabbit ?
H’ssa, ( after some thought ) …Hmmm, doesn’t sound impressive enough. Temple of the Rabbit? Bunny priest? Nah, they always choose something like snake, or spider, or ...
Others: Shut up !!
Pangur: ( Forgetting the rantings of the recently encountered heretic Kol, as all priests not worshipping Bast should, of course, be ignored ) How do we get in?
Roland: A job for me! I use my astounding ability to find all levers concealed by shadows !!
Rei: You couldn't find a dragon in a bathtub !!
R'rova: ( Drawing sword, waving it around in midair, slicing one of Pangur's whiskers off ) DRAGON !! Where ??
... 5 minutes later, after a minor scuffle, a Heal spell, and an unsuccessful search for a non existent lever in the temple foyer ...
Roland: Didn't that loony mention something about a secret in the stone? Maybe there is a trapdoor on the roof?
... 2 hours later, after a climb to the roof of the temple and another non productive search for a trapdoor or keyhole ...
R'rova: Can we see our house from up here?
Rei: ( sighs )
Cymry: Hey Pang, try one of those Spirit Eye spells, that might help find the way in ...
Pangur: ( Pretends to wave a non existent wand ) Mutters meaningless but impressive incantation in an attempt to frighten R'rova into a quivering jelly for an hour or two "ARgnutter bloogleDRIP!!"
Roland: Hey, look at the map! A mystic white dot !! The location of the hidden keyhole IS on the roof, I told you so !!
Others: ( unprintable )
Another 2 hours searching the roof of the temple searching for the something where the dot is, but not finding anything.
Eventually the party found the forest path leading to the temple back door.
Roland: These priests didn't even have the decency to hide a secret door in a place where we looking for it. What a nerve !!
Others: ( unprintable, followed by several loud thumps, and a request for another Heal )
Several days later ...
Inside the temple, the party has discovered the other side of the foyer, and the lever that opens the front temple door.
Roland: I wonder if this lever was the white dot we saw when we were on the roof ?
Others: ( unprintable, followed by several VERY loud thumps, and a request for a Great Heal ... )
