2/5/17, Hour long session at home. I did end up looking for a walk through. I found that I have to lift the rug in the house to find a trap door. I don’t think that this information is easy to find at all. The only clue is that the rug is heavy and that tells me that i shouldn’t lift it because it is TOO heavy. Anyway I descended into the abyss and found myself in a cellar with paths extending north and south. I began drawing a map at this point because I need some sort of reference to not get lost. From the cellar I had the option of going north or south, so I started with south, and after a couple of rooms found an art gallery which I proceeded to loot of a masterpiece. Feeling rather good about myself, I proceeded into the north room, where the door closed behind me and I was confronted with an angry troll, swinging a bloody ax. My first thought was to swing my sword at him, but this proved futile, as the troll knocked my sword out of my hands and hit my arm with his ax. Panicking I checked my inventory, not knowing that this would cost me a whole turn, which the troll used to swing at me, narrowly missing. My inventory didn’t have much: a sack with some garlic and a lunch, a cup with some water, a lantern, a golden egg, and that painting. So with this in mind I thought, maybe in this world Trolls hate garlic. Being defenseless, I had very few other options. I threw the garlic at the Troll, which resulted in it catching the garlic, and being a Troll of evolved tastes, ate the garlic, and then killed me. Having lost all of my progress, I decided that I would just restart the game at my next session. The combat mechanics seem to work, but I have no idea what I could have done differently. Maybe it is just the generator didn’t roll in my favor this time. Either way, I will be trying to take out the troll again, I’m sure.

The beginnings of my map.
