(Non-Sexy) DUNGEON QUEST IV: The Well of Despair

Thou art [adventurer title] and you have embarked upon thine greatest adventure: you are in search of the fabled Well of Despair. You believe that it is located in the deepest and darkest recesses of the dungeon you are currently in. Also I'm dropping the thou/thy/thine because it'll get pretty old real fast.

Your motivations are deep and profound, as well as the motivations of your companions if you have them...hopefully you do since otherwise this meme will get real old real fast, yo.

At any rate, you have just walked into a room in the dungeon. Grab your dice and roll.

1. A treasure chest! Score. (NOTE: two tags from opening the chest you will be attacked by monsters.)
2. An entire horde of monsters! Oh no!
3. A rival adventurer who's trying to get to the Well of Despair first, that jerk.
4. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary, but when you try to open the door over there it will turn out to be a monster.
5. A lizard who calls himself a Kecleon or something like that. He appears to have a shop and wants to sell you stuff. Helpful.
6. You need no prompts, you can do whatever you want, whenever you want. Six is your number and fortune is your destiny.
7. A helpful creature like a fairy or a unicorn which may or may not turn out to be less than benign very shortly. But...maybe not. Let's not be cynics.
8. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary, but there may be a miniboss that's currently hunting you and will attack very shortly.
9. Absolutely nothing out of the ordinary, except for that enchanted something-or-another over there.
10. Oh my god, it's the Well of Despair!...oh wait, it's just a monster shaped like a well.
11. Okay, okay, NOW it's the Well of Despair. Wait. Why did you want it again?

Decked out in his Brotherhood costume (shut up, it's totally perfect for adventuring!), Todd comes bounding back down the tunnel he just disappeared down, screaming. "Aaaaaaah!"

On his tail are a horde of little goblins! Some of them even have spears that they might just be trying to throw at him. Hope you're ready for some shooting, Merida. There's a lot of targets. Just try to miss Todd, all right?

Uh-huh. Totally perfect. She still thinks he looks...well, like a toady squire. But the horde of goblins? Not planned at all.

"What did you do?!"

Angus doesn't want anything to do with any of those creepy, shorter monsters, but Merida isn't going to leave a party member behind---or at least without a paddle. As the horse starts to bound away from the charging crowd, Merida almost turns herself completely around, two arrows between her teeth and one en pointe---Fchht. There's one down. And then another. And another. Try to miss Todd? Piece of cake. It's firing fast enough she's got a problem with. Not to mention...you don't just find arrows lying around.

"I hope you're as good at runnin' as you are at jumpin'!"

"I'll just keep jumpin'!" Todd calls back, snide and panicked all at the same time. He does, in fact, do just that. He dodges an arrow, dodges a goblin's spear-jab, and launches himself right at poor Angus's rump.

"Or I'll catch a ride!" he adds, sounding breathless, as he tries to cling. He's never ridden a horse, before, much less tried to hang on to one's backside. While being chased by goblins. New experiences all around!
