Well, I got the kill.
This is a continuation from the last posts on the Skeleton Caverns from Micro RPG. Go check them out.
I got the "rules as written" idea that I really had encountered all other monsters when it came to calculate weather or not the boss might appear, even if the encounters were spread across delves. The chapbook doesn't specify, so why make it difficult for myself!
Referring to the map of the last post, I encountered four skeleton archers in the first stone room, then six putrid rats in the second stone room, then encountered even more (six again) rats in the crypts, and then finally saw the foul necromancer who was behind all the trouble stand with a long knife raised above his head, pointing down towards the beautiful millers daughter who appeared to be drugged or some such.
As I launched forward the foul being thrusted the blade downwards and a bright flash threw me back so I hid the wall just next the the door which lead back to the crypt. As I came to, I saw the necromancer was now covered in white flames, and coming towards me. Scared as I was (lost all the WI tests) I chopped till the bastard dropped! Hoo-yeahh!!! Then I found three gold...
I had used 100 gold to level up, about two delves ago, and that new ST of four really payed off! Also, I got to use my relatively new crossbow even though the ranged step had me rolling for ones. Got a hit in twice! Money well spend.
I bit of an aside, I got the Deluxe Core Rulebook a few weeks back! I still went chapbook-rules-as-written till the end, but will be using the Deluxe together with Rules Of The House and some other addons, like my own house rules, for my next delve.
I've passed
