The Heart of Darkness... [Main Game Thread]

The (Original!) Tomb of Horrors!!!
S1 by the great Gygax 1978. Everything adapted to 2e. This is NOT the Return to ToH written for 2e


Labyrinth of Madness!!! Previously Concluded (by TPK)
S6 by Monte Cook from 1995. Designed for 2e. IMHO this one is the tougher of the two, but not by much.

Technically Bryce chose that item to take advantage of his naturally rolled height :D

Tabbi says: "Bryce I think we should check for traps in front of the door and on the door." Let's do the in front of the door first."

Galan watches while Bryce and Tabby check the corridor and door. Then he looks up at the web wondering what are they hiding.
======================================================
(OOC: Any thing to note about the door? If not, what about the ceiling? Is the ceiling visible between the web? Are the web look like normal web or like giant spiders web?)

Can Zafron reach the webs with a torch? What is the height of the passage. Can an elf reach the webs with a torch?

Galan with a 10-ft pole would be able to barely touch the cobwebs, but would not reach the ceiling.

The webs look mostly normal, just many, many layers

"I'll feel safer once we burn these web making sure nothing is watching us from above. Are you all with me on this?"
===========================================================
(OOC: Galan can fly with the poll. In any case if the ceiling lurks with spiders I assume it is better to burn the web and fight the spiders instead of fighting the spiders and being dragged and caught in the web.
What about the door? anything special to note about the door? Carvings? Text? Runes?)

"I would also like to brun the webs but I don't think anyone can reach. Does anyone of a fire spell of some kind?" "We should all go outside when we light this up as it might blow up in a large ball of flame."

"You know what I can fire a flaming arrow at the web." "Bryce do you want to check the door for traps before I light this place up?"

"Oh! Oh! Wait. First we can just lit normal arrow and fire it. Second, I can reach there. Let's look at the door for some clues and if we get nothing get outside and I'll burn the web." Galan says.

There is no writing, text or rune-work visible on the door. this is Door 1 from the earlier picture
There does appear to be an image of crouching hungry demon carved on the lintel above the door in fine detail (visible in the picture

Tabbi hecks the door but doesnt find any traps. She does, however, get an odd sense about it... not as if she missed s trap, but as if there were something unusual about the door itself...
