The Temple of Irrelevance [Mini-Map Monday]

"Hey, you're back. How was the Temple of Irrelevance?"
"I don't really want to talk about it."
"What happened? Were there a lot of monsters?"

"No. Not really. Just one orc with a pointy stick. He took a couple pokes at us then wandered back to his room. I don't think his heart was in it."
"Oh. Well, were there any traps?"
"Kind of. No. I mean the door to the treasure room had an old joy buzzer tied to the handle, but that's all. I don't think the thing even worked any more."

"Ah! But there was treasure, right?"
"Just, like, socks. Seven mismatched socks. Not even +1 socks, just old wool crew socks."
"Oh."
"Yeah, man. I don't think we're going back."
