Gnoll sees a treasure chest in the next room. It has a bunch of dried blood on it as seen from here. Approach method? Its my first treasure chest!

Ahem. Proper etiquette for treasure chests is to run and leap on them, opening them as soon as possible so that everyone knows who it belongs to. Good luck!

WHAT NOW?

In other news, I fail at formatting foever. The mimic is stunned and Gnoll is getting out during said time.

Use your rope to tie the lid closed! If it's anything like an alligator, its jaws muscles are only designed for closing quickly, and are relatively weak when it comes to opening them.

Distract it with the dead body and RUN FOR IT!

Gnoll wish not to do that, but as circumstances go..

"I am Gnoll, wandering wizard and spellcaster. Gnoll apologizes for his intrusion onto any royal territories, and wishes to offer breadwiches as payment for crossing the Rat king's lands"

Gnoll did good, right?

Gnoll complies, as the Rat King will surely do something rude. Maybe even turn Gnoll into one of his tiny comrades!

"Oh god dammit. I bet the mimic was the first treasure chest you saw out there, yes? I'm surprised you just didn't jump on the damn thing and get swallowed whole."

Gnoll finds it best not to correct him on the matter

"Alright, you have no clue what you are doing at all. Let me help you out a little bit with this cluttered inventory screen"

"How about this extra screen to store all of your spells in, if you plan on surviving more than a floor or two."

"Gnoll didn't know how many spells he had!"

The goblin king headbutted himself in the hand. Is this a goblin notion of surprise?

"And who the hell do you keep talking to?"

Gnoll's inventory is less cluttered, and look at all the new room! Gnoll can see his level now!

"See now? It's alot better to have an extra screen to keep track of instead of trying to compress it to the point you can't see anything half of what 'ja got."

"But why do you help Gnoll in this way?"

"Because the Rat King finds it better when people come out alive, so he can swindle them"

Clever. How will Gnoll thank this royalty?

By offering your services for the purpose of his further swindling of yourself or others. Though without knowing the manner of his swindles it would be difficult to offer anything specific. I'm sure he has a better idea about how to exploit you.

Oh and there is that small bit of coinage I'm sure he'd like. But I think he'd enjoy it more if you bought something from him that is overpriced in his swindling manner than if you just gave it to him.

Offer your utility services. If you could do some magical tidying up I bet he would be happy.

Chat with him in the meantime.

The Rat King sure was happy when Gnoll cleaned up his house-shop-tower-room for him. Gnoll even talked to him and learned all sorts of neat things. Did you know he has a bag with infinite rats in it? Its cool!

Anyways the Rat King let Gnoll go down the left side. He said that by the time heroes are coming up they are in such a hurry they don't bother with all of the treasure around here, so there's plenty to find!

He had a staff almost just like Gnoll's! It was sad tho because that means one of Gnoll's magic class buddies was down there. But the Rat King said that it was found WWAAYY far so it's not so bad!

Sorry Gnoll took so long to clean, he had a lot of dirty things!

Gnoll found some kind of huge bee nest in the wall. There's no bees tho. And there's a TON of honey inside!

Gnoll must ask, why are you so lucky? Are you eating his brains?

That is an amazingly obvious trap. Zap the opening.

Honey and no bees? An opportunity BEGGING to be taken!

Hey, theres something in there.

Smack it with your stick or something to get it to come out. Then burninate it. If all goes well, set up a small booth at this newly conquered source of sweets, and sell it.

Fire wasps....

Use your fire spe- no.

Use your other thin- no.

Uh. Well. You have a stick. Do what you did with the beehive, but a lot harder on them. And whatever you do, don't not have the heal spell ready.

wait, are they actually fire powered or does there venom just feel like fire? if the latter then flame on actually would work. if not then run.

Even if they aren't actually fire resistant, I'd recommend using melee to conserve mana. If we used spells on everything, we'd run out too soon.

Speaking of limited resources, how many charges does your staff have?

Gnoll can't run fast enough!

There's a trap door ahead, should Gnoll use that to escape?

It's existence is surely a sign of favor from the gods, clearly not to be ignored or squandered! HOP TO IT

Use trap door, hold door closed with surprised look on face.
