🤒 Marsilio Ficino is carried rather than treated, and the fever takes its price in full: 6 damage, and the party files through the next passage strung out around the litter.
The line this delve would be retold by.
12 of 13 values met. A reading, not a grade — the score exists to sort logs, not to judge them.
| Value | What the log shows | |
|---|---|---|
| met | A delve should be about somebody. | Michael Sendivogius carries it (6 mentions against 4); 4/4 named |
| met | Rooms should be in the order they are for a reason. | 4 of 12 rooms answer an earlier one (33%) |
| met | Something must go wrong, and it should be legible when it does. | 4 rooms cost the party something |
| met | If every room is a beat, no room is. | the loudest room runs 2.0× the median (peak 2, median 1) |
| met | A choice reads as a choice only when the alternatives are named. | 12 of 12 deliberations name a road not taken |
| met | A death is only worth reading if the dead had a line first. | 2 deaths, each of somebody the reader had met |
| met | Name the thing and state the number. | 12 of 12 resolutions state a number |
| met | The party should not argue in one voice. | 4 distinct voices across 12 deliberations |
| missed | No sentence should appear twice in one delve, verbatim. | 2 effect lines printed verbatim more than once (worst ×2) |
| met | The boss should get to be a boss. | the throne room ran an unstated number of rounds |
| met | A resolution should be readable in one breath. | every resolution inside its budget |
| met | The back half should cost more than the front half. | front half 0, back half 4 |
| met | The ending should answer the delve it ended. | the epitaph names somebody who went down |
A connecting corridor. Nothing blocks the way; the party moves through.
They might have chosen to search the room methodically, or divine what is hidden here — Marsilio Ficino made the case: "The god forgives. That's the whole strategy." The party chose to observe every detail.
👁️ Hidden in plain sight: an alcove holding coin and small valuables, overlooked by a hundred hurrying parties. +15 gold, +18 score. 🎓 Everything this asks for, the party happens to have brought: +25 renown.
A fire vent meets the cavern ice: a scalding steam blast fills the room. The party must brace together or scatter.
They might have chosen to brace together, or scatter and regroup — Michael Sendivogius made the case: "Stand back — this is the part I'm for." The party chose to sift the rubble.
🪨 The party sifts a fall of rubble: 40 gold.
🛡️ Michael Sendivogius takes the front of the march, and the rest fall in behind.
A trap blocks the corridor. The party must disarm it, avoid it, or take the hit. Half the ceiling is on the floor, in pieces worth stepping around. A bed of rusted spikes stands out of the floor, most of them still upright.
They might have chosen to solve the progression, or read the dust — Isabella Cortese made the case: "I keep my hazards bottled, thank you." The party chose to sift the rubble.

A connecting corridor. Nothing blocks the way; the party moves through.
They might have chosen to repair the gears, or correct the orrery — Simon Forman made the case: "Heal fast, ask later." The party chose to divine the unstable motion.
🔮 The dangerous motion is named before it completes. The party crosses untouched, and forewarned of the next snare in their path. +15 score. 🎓 It is answered from three directions at once and stays answered: +25 renown.
A library. The party can study here to learn spells. Pillars break the room into aisles — something to fight behind.
They might have chosen to move on — Marsilio Ficino made the case: "I have a strong feeling we should be elsewhere. Call it prophecy." The party chose to study the shelves.
📚 The party studies the shelves and learns 2 spells.
A treasure chest sits in the room. It may hold gold; it may be a mimic. Somebody stacked supplies here and never came back for them.
They might have chosen to inspect it first, or leave it alone — Michael Sendivogius made the case: "Plan? I'm the plan." The party chose to loot the treasure.
💰 The party loots the chest: 55 gold.
A treasure chest sits in the room. It may hold gold; it may be a mimic.
They might have chosen to experiment with the assembly, or dissolve the lock — Isabella Cortese made the case: "Run first. The reaction can finish without us." The party chose to understand the mechanism and fix it.
🔧 The mechanism is understood and restored — it was a door-holder, and it shows the party how the builders meant to stand in this passage. The party takes that shape and keeps it. +22 score, and a shield wall into the next fight. 🎓 Three disciplines on one problem, none of them guessing: +25 renown.
A shrine. Resting here heals the party; the gold leaf on the altar could be stripped instead. A brazier burns in its bracket — nobody has been here to feed it, and it burns anyway.
They might have chosen to attune the resonances, or link the three frequencies — Simon Forman made the case: "The commentaries disagree. I don't." The party chose to sing the third harmony.
🎵 A perfect voice finds the third harmony. The three frequencies lock into a single, beautiful chord. The walls settle and the front-rank member feels renewed. +18 score. 🎓 It is answered from three directions at once and stays answered: +25 renown.
A connecting corridor. Nothing blocks the way; the party moves through.
They might have chosen to bring the fever down, or diagnose and treat the fever — Marsilio Ficino made the case: "The light goes first. I merely follow it, loudly." The party chose to push through and take the hit.
🤒 Marsilio Ficino is carried rather than treated, and the fever takes its price in full: 6 damage, and the party files through the next passage strung out around the litter.
✚ That one leaves a mark on Marsilio Ficino. Their ceiling drops to 12 for the rest of the delve. The Reckless do not stop to bind anything, and more of it stays with them.
A trap blocks the corridor. The party must disarm it, avoid it, or take the hit.
They might have chosen to search for a way around, or bypass it with a utility spell — Michael Sendivogius made the case: "Last one in buys the ale!" The party chose to push through and take the hit.
💥 The party pushes through the trap, taking 1 damage. The Craven spotted the tripwire first: 1 less damage. 🔮 This is the snare the party was told about: half the damage it would have done. 🪶 Feather Step takes the party's weight off the floor: 3 less damage from anything underfoot.
The boss chamber. The Glacier's Heart, half-melted and wholly furious waits at its center (attack 4, health 13); killing it clears the dungeon. Plate and chitin cover it: the party's blows do 2 less damage each round. It keeps clear of the torches: weak to fire (fire damage ×1.5). A bed of rusted spikes stands out of the floor, most of them still upright. A brazier burns in its bracket — nobody has been here to feed it, and it burns anyway.
They might have chosen to stand and fight, or fall back — Isabella Cortese made the case: "I keep my hazards bottled, thank you." The party chose to put it onto the floor spikes.
🔻 The party drives the monster back onto a bed of rusted floor spikes: 12 damage, and it has to pull itself off them. ☠️ Even so, the Glacier's Heart, half-melted and wholly furious beats the party down. 🩸 Michael Sendivogius takes the worst of it: 12 of the party's 12. ⏸️ The hall is too tight to spread out: the party files up, one blade forward. 📐 The party meets it standing as the last room left them.
☠️ Michael Sendivogius falls. The party's fighter is dead; the 3 still standing march on.
