The party is headed to the Tower Arcane in the Wizards of Alvania Desert (hex 22) to sell some petrified snake men to the wizard Bernhaus of Barin, a collector of rare statuary.
They see a deep ravine ahead and a rickety rope bridge. They say "Nope" and change direction, avoiding the troll encounter I had prepared. They camp out at an oasis and encounter two curious giant geckos. I rolled a neutral reaction for the geckos. They gain the gecko's trust by feeding them and otherwise leaving them alone.
They arrive at the wizards tower, the caretaker said, "You're here early. Go ahead and step into the magic circle, everything is prepared for you." They thought "Huh, weird" but comply and teleported into the subterranean dungeon. Apparently they were mistaken for an applicant for an apprentice and now must go through the wizard test usually meant for a group of young apprentice applicants. With no other options than to complete the test, they randomly choose the correct path to lead directly to the exit with the least amount of monsters or traps. All they fought were some skeletons and some giant rats and some illusory guards.
Dungeon defeated by avoiding most of the dungeon!
They sold their statues and requested to skip my planned wizard intrigue adventure (which I haven't written yet), leave the wizard school, and power-walk to the nearest town (Sigatona, hex 43) to trade in their loot, allowing them to level up. (One of the players will be absent next week so he wanted to get back to town and level up ASAP). I said sure.
Level 3!
