#Dungeon23 Megadungeon Challenge

Looks like we might need some help?

Jan 5 etr

Description: This 3 yard by 10 yard smooth stone room holds pool of water on its ceiling, intitially quite calm, and also quite reflective (if lighting from the air would improve visibility in the pool past -7, it improves it to -7 instead). This pool is 3 yards above the floor.

The pool is held on the surface of the chamber by a gravity spell. If a PC can get their center of gravity above two yards, they will fall into the water. If they want to get out of the pool, they need to get their center of gravity one yard above its surface, falling the remaing 2 yards (jumping, DX, or acrobatics to avoid damage from a 2-yard fall)

Vision: -10 (total darkness)
Hearing: -2 (poor aucstics due to pool)
Exits: A passage at the far end of the chamber. A secret underwater tunnel leading out from the side of the pool.

Giant Tentacled thing: A giant tentacled thing lives in the pool. The surface of the water essentially acts as a one way mirror, and it will be able to attack players from above using their own lighting. Its hungry, and will retreat with a meal (a creature of at least SM-2) to eat it. This monster has six arms, but is mostly a normal animal.

Code:

ST 20    HP 20        Speed 6.5
DX 14    Will 10        Move 1
IQ 4    Per 12        Move (water) 6
HT 12    FP 12        SM +2

Dodge 10    Parry 11    DR 4

Tentacle Grab (14): Roll ST vs higher of victim's ST or HT, victory inflicts crushing damage equal to the margin. Can reach up to four yards away. 10 injury is necessary to sever a tentacle

Bite (14): 2d6 crushing. Note this is only useful against victims in the water 

Traits: Doesn't Breath(Gills), Extra Attack 2, No Legs (Aquatic), regrowth, regeneration (2 HP/ hour)

Treasure: Resting on the "bottom" of the pool in one corner is a collection of bodies and rotted and rusted weapons. Among them are a silver comb ($115, .15 lbs), a silver Torque ($865), and 200 lbs of scrap metal (selling for I'd guess 2$ a pound?)

*****************************************
I'm fairly new to DF, so I'm not sure about the balance of this room, or if the creature is too easy or difficult. Let me know.

EDIT: changed the creature to loose a tentacle on 10 injury rather than 10 damage, and added regrowth and some fairly slow regeneration, so that if the main body isn't dealt with the danger returns, and boosted DR to 4.
