TOPIC: Newbie Questions about Tokens?

That is a highly creative solution!  We just crawled out on the bridge on our hands and knees!

My group did that as well.  I still remember that run in 04.<br /><br />Kim

<br />1) On the Bone Scroll Case and Alchemists Pouch protecting Scrolls and Potions, has there ever been a situation in a True Dungeon adventure where these have been used?<br />

<br /><br />I've never seen the Alchemist's Pouch used.  I've only ever used a scroll case for the Dome and Key puzzle.  Coincidentally, the Dome and Key puzzle was also the only opportunity I've ever encountered to use a Mortar and Pestle in a dungeon.  (You got an actual M&P, which could be used as a weight with the rope or twine.)<br /><br />

<br />2) On the Boots of the Leopard giving half-damage from Mechanical Traps, has there ever been a situation in a True Dungeon adventure where these have been used?   Seems like most traps were magic or poison (or push damage, which I presume you can't resist?)<br />

<br /><br />This brings up a good point.  The Boots of the Leopard sound pretty cool, but has there EVER been a mechanical trap that was clearly designated as such?  Are the Rogue traps ever mechanical?  (Still, probably not worth the trade-off with Boots of Elvenkind/Underdark.)  I'd really like to see some cool mechanical traps in a dungeon.  <br /><br />

<br />3) Potion of Water Breathing, was there ever an underwater encounter where this was used?   I would also presume the Ioun Stone of Iridescent Spindle would work for water breathing as well?<br />

<br /><br />Also, by jumping in the water with PoWB or Irridescent Spindle, it was possible for a character to avoid the Stirge combat completely.  Though, not everyone would fit in the water.  <br />I think the Iridescent Spindle also works against Stinking Cloud (and other poison gas attacks).  <br /><br />

<br />6) The ring of feather falling, has this ever been used in an adventure?<br />

<br /><br />As I recall, the Mind Flayer pit was not bottomless and Feather Fall worked well there.  The windy chasm in '04 may have been very deep or bottomless, but I think Feather Fall could slow your descent long enough that the party could toss you a rope.  So, the FF could save you, even if the pit was very deep (or even bottomless).  <br />The Ring of Feather Fall is a nice ring to have with you in case you encounter a pit or chasm.  It's not one I'd normally wear as part of a general setup, though. <br />

<br />I've never seen the Alchemist's Pouch used.  I've only ever used a scroll case for the Dome and Key puzzle.  Coincidentally, the Dome and Key puzzle was also the only opportunity I've ever encountered to use a Mortar and Pestle in a dungeon.  (You got an actual M&P, which could be used as a weight with the rope or twine.)<br />

<br /><br />The Mortar and Pestle could also be used to grind the Stone Golem finger (only if you didn't use a Stone to Flesh scroll on him), which could be used to cure someone who was turned to stone by the Medusa in the previous room.<br /><br /><br />

<br />This brings up a good point.  The Boots of the Leopard sound pretty cool, but has there EVER been a mechanical trap that was clearly designated as such?  Are the Rogue traps ever mechanical?  (Still, probably not worth the trade-off with Boots of Elvenkind/Underdark.)  I'd really like to see some cool mechanical traps in a dungeon.  <br />

<br /><br />Maybe some of those rooms with air/shock noises would count? IIRC, there were occasionally a few walls and hallways that were trapped?<br /><br />

Boots of the Leopard:<br />If they ever use the motion detector tripwire/ nerf missle poison dart trap, the boots would help!

Yeah, seems like they had one or two mechanical traps of the someone-shoots-you-with-a-dart-gun variety before the Boots of the Leopard were introduced.  <br />
