Hallo there fellow slingers!
It's been some time since good Rat Man submitted us one of his typical topics on particular diets and other "what if" contexts, so it's my turn now!
The question is: how would you descend into a dungeon?
Think that as a cave with steep, slippery rocky floor, made of narrow passages, very few big chambers and frequent niches, where armies of zombies, skeletons, giant rats, bats and assassine blobs are guarding a fabulous treasure.
It's what myths are made of: will you emerge out of the dungeon rich and famous, or will you be just another dead adventurer??

Me, I'd descend equipped as follows:
- a sleveless, knee long cotton tunic;
- leather shoes with short nails in the soles to grant a certain grip;
- a leather cap;
- a cuirass made of leather hardened with beewax;
- a wooden shield big enough to cover me from neck to knee;
- a sword or a pickaxe? Don't know, because the sword is not of excellent quality, and the blade tends to blend with heavy strikes. Plus it's long, and it can be unmanoeuverable in narrow passages. On the other hand, it's unbalanced, with its heavy grip, and this would help piercing. A sword would be effective against zombies, bats and rats, less against blobs and skeletons. The pickaxe has a wooden haft, a steel hammer on one side and a pointed edge on the other. It would work well with almost every enemy, but has the big disavantage that it needs a lot of free space to strike devasting blows. Plus its wooden haft, even if made of strong wood, may break or be weakened by humidity.

What about you?
What would be your equipment??
Greetings,

Nope, we have our Elven cleric, he'll take care of you  

The fact is, that I begin to have too much stuff at home. Now that I somehow managed to learn the basics of ironsmithing and working leather, therefore making more accurate stuff, my first attempts have become quite useless. I just wonder what I could do with them  
Greetings,
Mauro.

Bring rope then some extra rope. Same with light sources. Bring extra. You're in a cave. I would like a nice shield and an ax with an ice pick at the end of it's handle. An invisibility cloak might come in handy also mithral hauberk might be good also. A spangenhelm sounds like a good idea.

To be truthful I don't think i would ever venture into one of those places without the Marine Corps in support.
If i had to and the Marines were busy doing something inportant i would be following you tough guys as I'm to old to play computer games and would get killed in an instant. I truely suck at Xbox and that playstation thing.
OUCH!

How do you get all the treasure out?? Gold weights about the same as lead, so you won't be loading up sacks of gold and running out.

How would you enter dungeon filled with living skeletons, zombies etc ?

Reluctantly 

descend after a course of flash-bangs being served up.

As a cable technician I've crawled on my belly through many horrendous, dungeon-like crawl spaces, so this scenario isn't completely foreign to me.  
  I'd want a hard hat with a Petzl light attached.  An oxygen tank might be a good idea.  You have no idea what sort of atmosphere you'll encounter down there.  A very large crow bar would be handy, both as a weapon and for breaking into treasure chests and such.  A large spool of safety line is a must so I can find my way back out again.  A fat old 45 on my hip would be nice also.  Though its range and accuracy aren't the best, it has a lot of hitting power and in that situation, with limited vision and against supernatural creatures it's a weapon I'm comfortable with.
 I guess for clothes I'd wear big, heavy, waterproof leather boots, well oiled.  I guess I'd wear Carhartt rain gear, bibs and jacket.  They're very heavy and provide a lot of warmth as well as keeping you dry.  If it proves to warm in the dungeon for such gear I can just ditch them.  I'd wear normal, casual street clothes underneath.  I'd also take canteen of water and some trail mix and jerky so I don't have to be in a hurry to leave if I'm finding good treasure.  A K-mart plastic wheel barrow would be nice to have also.  It's light, but durable, being made of high impact plastic.  If it proves too cumbersome once I'm in the dungeon I can just ditch that also, though it could come in very handy.  Finally, I'd take a few quarter sticks of dynamite for blasting into things like vaults and chests and also as additional weaponry.  
  Good post, Mauro!
