  Unsure how to carry on the team heads forth through the tunnels until they reach a fork heading either north or south, recalling northward has always historically been the way back to the surface they head north until they reach a brass door. Fearfully they pause not sure what to do until finally bobos the fool sorceress touches the doors, it hisses as it slides open with prismatic mist flowing from the bottom of the door. Suddenly they are in a luxurious room with 8 large sarcophaguses in a style incongruent to the one, beautiful weaved banners. Not wishing to possibly anger more undead, they take a door to the east, finding themselves entering into the room containing all the dwarves from the room they had been guarding. Bobos, who is used to changes in the multidimensional stream from her learned way of flaming hands, determines that something is messing with time and space but cannot be sure what exactly is going on. Retracing their steps to the brass cave they de...

 With their friend firmly in hell the three remaining adventurers prepare to head back, ladened themselves with thousands upon thousands of gold pieces worth of coins and gems they make their way out of the chasm. Heading back through the tunnels to the mine proper they realize something. The frozen dead dwarves that once littered the hallway are entirely gone, and the construction of the hallways had changed slightly, concerned they made haste to the 6th level. The level is how they remember and as they make their way back to the elevator shaft but on their way they hear metallic clanking. Dungifer senses no danger so they approach the metal in good faith. They see two dwarves, one in head to toe in plate mail with tufts of a blond beard sticking through the cracks, and one in chainmail with cornrows and a goatee. As they are obviously injured Dungifer in his duty to heal the sick and wounded offers to heal the two. As this happens they share details of the past events...

Passing by the same grisly display of dwarven corpses they had seen the day prior they find themselves in the crystalline chasm.  Following the stream they find themselves at a deeper gorge in the chasm, below is a giant dome of beautiful shining crystals with a hole at the bottom. Next to the waterfall is some rope secured into the stone with a spike, about 10 feet down the rope has been snapped, the rest of it lying next to the ground by the waterfall. Dungifer can tell something baleful is down there.

She eats two days worth of rations as the arcane hunger sets in. Her plans of using the monsters as scouts seems to have gone nowhere. In his infinite curiosity Kermit volunteers to go and explore the place himself, using ...

I am a large fan of the manga dungeon meshi. I have been able to read it through my local library. I decided to write up a few things I have seen in it for use with dungeon crawl classics. Never been play tested or anything these are straight out the oven. Food Ration Types Food is essential for proper adventuring, how is one to win gold and glory on an empty stomach. There are 6 types of rations, categorized into fresh and preserved. Dire and Delightful meals have special effects. A ration counts as enough food for a day. Rations are expressed as Type| Cost| How long it lasts| special effect Dire Fresh Rations| NA| 1 week| The consumer must make a DC 12 Fort save or become sickened, suffering a -2 penalty to all rolls for the following day.  Fresh Ration| 8cp| 1 week| No affect Delightful Fresh Rations| 15cp| 1 week| Luck rolls made while recovering the body are rolled with a d16, the consumer gains a +2 bonus to all physical rolls for the following day.

Hearing this Grillbar readies his laser lance, soon they bend a corner and see it a 9 foot tall icy being of sharp corners and blank face. Grillbar panics and throws his lance, going right through the thing it lands on the other side, the being seems unphased. Dungifer tries to bind the icy thing but is not strong enough and Radcliff throws out a flask of oil hoping to light the icy being on fire with the help of Bobos, he then moves in close.  The party hears a voice coming from inside their own mind hissing out “turn that light off” and then they are plunged into total darkness. Bobos attempts to cast prismatic wall to counter the darkness with radiant light, but the spell is hard to cast and nothing happens, though it is not lost. In the dark suddenly two familiar creatures, ...
