I don't think you missed anything. It was the only direction anyone had so much as suggested going and no one else was posting anything, so I wanted to move things along. If you'd rather go somewhere else, that's still a possibility. Basically all but the very last turn would have been necessary to get anywhere at all, as there was no way out of the temple chamber but through the adjacent corridor.

Throg inspects the door. Solid wood in worn but not ruined condition. It doesn't appear to be locked or to have any traps. Nothing can be heard behind the door.

For those wondering why I still haven't updated this: I spilled water on my keyboard. I totally cannot afford this and was worried that something like this would happen. I will work out some sort of interim solution eventually...

When I was in college I spilled water on my keyboard. And it wasn't just water, either. It was from a bowl that I had used to make EasyMac that I had dumped water into so that the leftover cheese and macaroni bits wouldn't stick so much and be impossible to wash later. So my keyboard got soaked in some milky pasta-cheese mixture that probably made things 10x worse, since it wouldn't dry right. I actually pulled apart my keyboard and tried to clean off the plastic thinger inside that makes it work, which made things better. The only problem was if I ever pressed the "E" key, it would get stuck, so I'd be typing up someeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee homeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeework and it would eeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeend up looking likeeeeeeeeeeeeee this. Eventually, I managed to swap it for an older keyboard that clacked really loud, but was at least functional.

Never again have I ever allowed any beverage to share desk space with an electronic device that I value.

Haha, that happened. Well, kind of. Shortly after I spilled water on the keyboard, I was pretty sure that "W" and "F" weren't working, so I shut it down and tried to dry the keyboard out. But then I couldn't get the computer working again because the keyboard was messing with it, and I couldn't just unplug the keyboard because it's a laptop. Eventually, I was able to open up safe mode and get an on-screen keyboard to type in my password. Then I opened up a Notepad document and attempted to type the alphabet in order to see which keys worked, but I was constantly interrupted by "eeeeeeeeeeeeeeee..."

I couldn't get the keyboard to stop thinking that it was rapidly typing the "E" key. So I messed around with the keyboard settings until I managed to get rid of the driver for the keyboard. Problem solved. Well, the whole lack of a keyboard problem is still unsolved (I thought I might have had a USB keyboard, but I don't). But at least now I can get to my files to back them up without being bombarded with phantom "E" keystrokes.

Well, that certainly is a verb, although not the one that I would use in this case. I bought that computer in December of 2010, and since purchasing it, it's had its hard drive, memory, and motherboard replaced under warranty. Then last year, it kept overheating and I had to get a fan replaced. This year, I started getting an entire column of pixels right in the middle of the display going red, which I was able to mitigate by applying pressure to the bottom part of the frame around the screen, up to the point where I wasn't paying attention and applied too much pressure to the wrong spot, cracking the screen. So I attached an external monitor. Then the overheating problem came back (not as bad as before, but it's definitely there). And now I've ruined my keyboard. Rather than saying I "value" it, I'll say that I have an intense desire to scrap it for parts just as soon as I have another computer to replace it, which would be happening right this minute if I weren't broke.

Where'd you buy that computer? With all those problems, you should be able to get an endorsement deal with a rival brand. Perhaps they would reward you with a new computer.

And what's up with the "E" key always fritzing out? Is there something about it's location on the keyboard that makes it particularly vulnerable to water damage?

It's an HP. To be fair, the first set of problems were likely all caused by the motherboard flipping out and making tech support think that it was other parts that were defective, although I still think it says something that even after it was sent to their repair center, they still failed to solve the problem and I had to send it back a second time. Cracking the screen was my fault, as was spilling water on the keyboard. But the overheating problems and the red line down the middle of the screen happened on their own.

Anyway, the repeating "e" issue appears to have disappeared on its own. It looks like I've lost two keys, "W" and "U." They're completely non-responsive. It scks, bt I can still post here and se my compter in a limited ay and hopeflly afford a ne one soon. I have the on-screen keyboard for those to keys, assming that I remember to se it. I have a yonger sister that sed a laptop ith a broken "F" key for like three years, mapping "CTRL" + "G" to serve as an "F" key someho. I'm not doing that crap.

And now back to our regularly scheduled programming...

The door from the mummy's lair leads into a dusty store room where all the food had been stacked for the dead king's afterlife. Centuries on, the bulk of it has decayed and is useless.

Why did that post look like a cross-over from Crapstorm? :D

Dorgath searches the room for traps, secret doors, and loot.

"Ah, let's see what this is..." Dorgath inspects the urns for any weird inscriptions or something, checks for traps and if none, begins opening them.

-Dorgath opens an urn and finds for bandages.
-Throg opens an urn. Plague gas: Throg suffers 1 damage.
-Kelgar opens an urn and finds two potions.


Kelgar looks at Throg as Throg coughs from the plague gas...

"I can cure that. Should we keep going, though?"
