Solo Rambling Roleplay

GM Note: About that last combat! After finishing up the combat against the skeletons, I noticed a few small rules errors that I made. 1. The hunting knives have the Dual trait- all damage is rolled with advantage   2.

The light of the fire glints off of the grimy steel of a broken longsword leaning up against the cavern wall. He walks over and picks it up, seeing only one exit leading out of the room. "Right, well. Only one way to go then. Let's be about it." He looks around the room for anything else useful, finding nothing, and then he departs. Nodding to himself he takes the broken blade and leaves the light of the bonfire behind climbing up a sloping hallway that exits the ro...
