Calm musician
My name is Anotekh the Bard and I seek the Golden Harp of Illumor. I step lightly into the dungeon's first floor, armed with only a dagger and my voice...I see..
Corridor turns left.
A corridor turning immediately to the left, and then...
Continues straight.
it continues that way...
Side passage on left corridor continues.
I ignore the passage--my priority is to get deeper into the dungeon.
Continues straight.
Corridor turns left 45 degrees.
I stride confidently down the corridor...
Stairs on right side Corridor continues.
Stairs! I decide not to go down them yet.
Corridor dead-ends at a door.
A door! I open it.
Corridor turns left.
Corridor comes to a T.
A t-joint, I head south.
Continues straight.
Corridor turns left 45 degrees.
Stairs Corridor ends.
I turn around, and return to the north end of the T-joint...
Corridor turns right 45 degrees.
A right turn, which I follow...
Stairs Corridor ends.
I still am not ready to descend, without finding some better armament...I wander around to a passage from several turns ago...
Side passage on left corridor continues.
I decide to keep going along this corridor rather than turning.
Corridor turns left 45 degrees.
A left turn...

Deciding not to explore them just yet, I double back to the passage I just found.

Attacked by NPC.
I am ambushed by--
Quixotic female ship hand
a female elf in a pirate's outfit!
-3 = -1 -1 +0 -1
1 = +1 +0 +0 +0
-1 = +1 +0 -1 -1
2 = -1 +1 +1 +1
(Rolling Initiative)
2 = +0 +1 +0 +1
I manage to catch her off guard and I drive my dagger towards her chest, trying to find a weak link in her chain-mail armor.
-1 = +0 -1 +1 -1
It skids off the metal rings and she brings her cutlass up to counter-attack!
0 = -1 -1 +1 +1
I duck her wild swing and lash out again!
1 = +0 +0 +1 +0
A second time, the chainmail foils my efforts, leaving me vulnerable to her next attack...
3 = +1 +1 +0 +1
..which slices into my side; my breath escapes me in a hiss of pain, but I fight through it long enough to thrust at her chest again...
1 = +0 +0 +0 +1
Again, I fail to wound her, and she counter-attacks again!
3 = +0 +1 +1 +1
Another painful injury, slicing across the outer edge of my right arm!
2 = +1 +0 +0 +1
I thrust back but her armor deflects the questing tip of my dagger. She clubs at me with the basket hilt of her cutlass...
-2 = -1 -1 +0 +0
...and this time I dodge easily, taking advantage of the opening to aim for her shoulder and jab my dagger forward.
2 = +0 +0 +1 +1
Her armor stops my blow again--barely. She swings her sword in a backhand slash...
-1 = -1 +0 +1 -1
...but I leap back out of the way, quickly resuming an aggressive stance.
1 = +1 +1 +0 -1
...but she parries my next attack, performing a skillful riposte...
0 = +0 -1 +1 +0
...which rips my sleeve but not the flesh beneath.
1 = +1 +0 +1 -1
I probe forward for her chest again...but fail to hurt her.
0 = +0 -1 +0 +1
I deflect the next swing and lash out with my fist as our blades lock.
-2 = +1 -1 -1 -1
She sways to the right deftly, weaving aside from my attack.
2 = +1 +0 +0 +1
I get scratched by the tip of her cutlass--I can't hold her off much longer...
1 = -1 +1 +1 +0
...my next attack is just as ineffective as the others...
-1 = +0 -1 +0 +0
...but so far she's unable to press her advantage home as I parry her next blow.
2 = +1 +1 +1 -1
With a quick snap of my wrist, I lash out for her neck, but she dodges again and kicks out at my knee...
1 = -1 +0 +1 +1
...but I step aside quickly, throwing a punch.
2 = +1 +0 +0 +1
...that she allows to glance off her upper arm, inflicting little harm before she swings her cutlass...
3 = +0 +1 +1 +1
The cutlass slices into my side and I yell as she pulls it free, spattering blood on my worn clothing. I decide to make a run for it, but she follows, aiming a blow at my back...
-1 = +1 -1 -1 +0
...but I'm already around the corner and I lose her. I pant, catching my breath as I patch my wounds several halls away.
What action do you want take now?
I head for the staircase that branches off from the passage I met her in--time to find this harp!

An actual room! What's inside...?
Odd shape medium roughly 30 to 40 ft across.
An oddly shaped hollow about 30 feet across. Interesting.
I check for exits...
1 = +0 +1 +1 -1
There's only the door I entered through. I turn around, it's creepy in here because of how cold the stone is and how dark it is...shivering, I return to the hall and continue...

A carpenter swinging a hammer...(Rolling stats)
2 = +0 +1 +0 +1
-2 = +0 -1 +0 -1
3 = +1 +1 +1 +0
0 = -1 +1 +0 +0
A carpenter--his hammer is slow but I can probably take him down if I strike first...
0 = +1 -1 +1 -1
I caught him off guard and stab for his back!
-1 = -1 +0 +0 +0
Nope, he turns in time for it to skid off his leather apron. Snarling, his hammer comes down...
1 = +0 +1 -1 +1
...and knocks me out cold.
GAME OVER.
Well played, dungeon.
0 = +1 -1 +1 -1
