Petty Gods:

Greg of Gorgonmilk is insane. From the Michael Moorcock announcement to the MTV Geek feature, Greg will keep you up to date with Petty Gods.

Additional DM Notes:

A player’s time resource should not be confused with real-time.
I’m not actually superstitious, which is why I keep using the Barrowmaze dice.
I still find Kay’s remark about Ibisa Fireheart amusing.
There was a physical reaction (non-audio) from Kay when I mentioned the maggots. In fairness, maggots gross me out too.
This is not the first time they messed around in the Barrowmaze, right before a nasty encounter.
Kay’s mom is “Good at rolling low.” Ha!

Additional DM Notes:

The Trinity: Dark Dungeons, Patricia Pulling and Tom Hanks
Specifically, Greg Gillespie was inspired by the Rona Jaffe 1981 novel, not the 1982 made-for-TV movie.
Link to the Barrowmaze Rumor Table PDF used.
When their pirates first discovered a Runic Tablet.
Pardue encounters a Gorvil.
It still bugs me that everyone (me included) forgot Rothgar started with one eye. Clearly the man who healed him was great.
Both Pardue the Holy Man and Freelik of Glossimi are pregenerated characters in Barrowmaze I & II respectively.
All of the “henchmen” are I listed are also pregen characters; they are not people you normally hire.
If you were curious, the Paladin is level 4
Wrong die = Cursed Barrowmaze die

Additional DM Notes:

First Sapphire Skeleton Encounter:
Sapphire Bullets of Pure Love
Second Sapphire Skeleton Encounter:
Rattle of Bones
It’s worth noting that each sapphire gem (even when shattered) is worth 100 gp.
The Delvers never remember to collect the sapphires. In not so many words, I pointed this out to them in TD009 – Random Encounters; in Circe’s words, “We’re idiots.”
Usually Kay or Sue remind Tess that a cleric can turn. In this case, I inadvertently reminded Tess that both her and the Paladin can turn when I pointed out Paladins can “Lay on Hands.”
In my experience, most players turn undead so the party can escape. Not so with The Delvers.
Gold is spent when items are identified.
