Tomb of Horrors OOC:

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.

one secret door check can cover a 10x20' section of wall. this usually takes about 10 mins. the walls in this corridor are fairly plain stoework, so you could cut that down to 5 mins. With 2 people you could cover the hall in that time (one left, one right) or you could double up and have 2 people search each side.

Just be sure to specify who is searching where

There is a fresco of a torture chamber with a painting of an iron door which evidently confines some sort of a horrid creature (its taloned and scaled hands grasp the bars of its small window) which can be loosed to torment prisoners.

Is it the side facing us?

So the top and everything else stayed, but the "front" of it flopped towards us?

Top is closed, bottom is closed. Side Parallel to the opposite wall opened to reveal an empty rectangular space (like the interior of a chest) to be visually empty. Visual is the farthest inspection done on that space so far [hint, cough hint]

What you describe here is all about the chest? When you say opposite wall, you mean opposite wall of the chest right? Not the corridor...

ACERERAK CONGRATULATES YOU ON YOUR POWERS OF OBSERVATION.
SO MAKE OF THIS WHATEVER YOU WISH,
FOR YOU WILL BE MINE IN THE END NO MATTER WHAT!

Go back to the tormentor or through the arch,
and the second great hall you'll discover.
Shun green if you can. but night's good color
is for those of great valor.
If shades of red stand for blood the wise
will not need sacrifice aught but a loop of
magical metal - you're well along your march.

Two pits along the way will be found to lead
to a fortuitous fall, so check the wall.
These keys and those are most important of all,
and beware of trembling hands and what will maul.
If you find the false you find the true
and into the columned hall you'll come,
and there the throne that's key and keyed.

The iron men of visage grim do more than
meet the viewer's eye.
You've left and left and found my Tomb
and now your soul will die.
