Well, that was officially the single worst night's sleep I can remember having. Ever. This heat is unbearable, you guys, I just don't know how to deal with it. Really hoping to climb back on the taggin' wagon today after a flaky weekend, but I don't know, it's so hard to focus on anything but how fucking hot it is. I can barely breathe.

Gripping the rope firmly, you step back to take a running jump. However, in the dim light you do not notice that someone has cut the rope almost in two just a little way above the section you are holding. As you swing out across the pit it suddenly breaks, and you scream with fear as you plunge headlong to the depths below.

You land heavily on your back, but luckily your backpack cushions your fall. Lose 1 SKILL point and 2 STAMINA points. The darkness is almost pitch black at the bottom of the pit, and you crawl along the floor, groping in front of you. Suddenly your hand touches something cold, hard and smooth. The object is small and round, but you cannot figure out what it is. You place it in your backpack, hoping to see what it is once out of the pit. You continue to crawl forward and soon reach the pit wall. It is too smooth to climb, and you have to cut hand- and toe-holds in it with your sword. This takes a long time, but finally you climb out of the pit on the east side. You immediately check out the object in your backpack, and discover that you have found an orb of blood-red ruby. You are absolutely delighted and head off east in high spirits, whistling softly under your breath.

The tunnel makes a sudden left turn and continues north for as far as you can see. You soon arrive at a closed wooden door in the left-hand wall.

So now that we're a zombie, do we have to hope for BRAAAAAAAAINS to stick in our mouths, or can we still just nibble on anything (everything).

We are very spry for a zombie.

Also, NGL, I was disappoint that the round object we found in the dark was not THE PRECIOUS.

Are we big into rocks? I mean, it's not like we're a mummy or a lich or something.
