[Ruined Temple, Second Floor]
A spiral staircase climbs up to third floor of the temple, and is flanked on either side by a large stone statue carved to resemble a large water droplet. The flooded water reaches to the statues' middles, where wavy patterns have been formed by years of erosion. A single tapestry, soaked with moisture, hangs from the northwestern wall, and a rusted iron bar rests opposite it. You also see some muck.
Obvious exits: southeast, southwest

A young dwarven child arrives, following you.

A silver-streaked arrow flies out of the shadows toward a young dwarven child!
AS: +440 vs DS: +137 with AvD: +25 + d100 roll: +82 = +410
... and hits for 159 points of damage!
Strike pierces temple and kills the dwarven child instantly!
The child falls to the ground, dead!

[You have failed your current Adventurer's Guild task.]
The silver-streaked arrow sticks in a young dwarven child's head!

A silver-streaked arrow flies out of the shadows toward you!
AS: +440 vs DS: +402 with AvD: +32 + d100 roll: +59 = +129
A layer of shifting stone absorbs 3 points of damage!
... and hits for 7 points of damage!
Strike to left hand breaks a fingernail!
Bad angle. The silver-streaked arrow fails to stick in you.

Heh, they snipe. That's not even fucking fair unless you're the auto-room-sancter for the whole journey type.

Edit: Just run .breakgs.wiz and save yourself the facepalms, Meth'.

I love how a child can get "lost" in a Temple taking a huge amount of swimming ranks the vast majority of "adventurers" don't possess.

For fucks sake, make the children in rooms around town you have to search for like heirloom tasks from creatures that don't drop trinkets (Griffins, GWEs).

I guess there'd be no risk vs. reward but still . . . something has to be better than the above scenario.

Hahaha X2.

Poor Methais. :(

I still couldn't help but effing giggle. Mostly cause of the facepalm.

I like the ones that somehow make it into vruul even more. Yay for kids that know how to get into (and out of, when you finally rescue them) places that a good chunk of the game's current population doesn't actually know.
