CPEG — Yesterday at 8:42 PM
be me
bronze statue created by Elven sorceror-king to guard his tomb for time eternal
be chilling in the main sanctum, guarding his magical artifact
one day, hear a click and footsteps
a pack of humans and filthy dwarves walk in
“INTERLOPERS IN THE TOMB!” Myself and my 3 statue brethren awaken
hapless adventurers try to fight back, their weapons bouncing harmlessly off our bronze bodies
some of them have summoned manes, but our mighty blades obliterate them
adventurers screw off
cleanup time, we unspike all the traps, close all the doors
adventurer footprints lead to the two rooms our King created with magical braziers to deactivate us
instead of returning to our places, we split up and guard the brazier rooms
a month later, my door is opened again
adventurers give a hearty “wtf” seeing us in a room they expected to be empty
one of them tries to spike the door closed
“DEFILERS IN THE TOMB!”
once again they run away
next day, they try again
they try to go past us and just go to the main sanctum
as soon as the filthy thief picks the lock, “INTERLOPERS IN THE TOMB!”
we all charge in from the south, kill one of the adventurers
adventurers run away, we stomp the fallen bard to add new mortar to the dungeon
troll dungeon is troll
