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.

"This passage seems more promising than the fogged up one. What a good chance that we had detect magic ready to find that small dot."

Bryce blinks and gives a start. Hmm?! Oh, yes! of course! haha, i was just thinking about this door, what a clever way to hide the trigger, eh? Van is right, lucky we found that so quickly! Erm... yes, let me see... Bryce prepares his trusty poking pole and prods and peruses the walls and floor of the hall until he comes to the corner. At the turn he peeks around and then proceeds around and out of sight, motioning for Elidyr to join him at the corner to keep watch.

Elidyr looks back to the others, Long hall and another door. After several minutes of testing and searching Bryce returns to give the all-clear.

Zafron will move forward down the hall with Tabbi just behind him once Bryce gives the ok.

"We are lucky, but here it was Faladair resourcefulness and his devotion to his god. I'm lucky to be called your friend." he looks at his friend for a moment, remembering all the difficulties they passed together. "So.. let's move on to the next door and see what's the next riddle to solve, shall we?"

Musing out loud.
"These keys and those are most important of all, and beware of trembling hands and what will maul. Seems to be next. Have we any keys? We also may need to be ready for a fight."

Van sighs loudly, on purpose, mostly to annoy Bryce.

Bryce shakes his head, No keys yet. the door doesn't appear to be locked or trapped; I already checked that. So one of you burly types are welcome to proceed. he adds, standing near the corner a good distance away.

"The gargoyle statue was mauling stuff, but it might not be what the riddle refers to. Let's move on..." Preparing for battle and with high morale after finding the secret passageway Galan plays a stimulating tune with his mandolin.

Bards are rogues too ;) But I dont think the rogues have opened any doors so far, but even so Bryce said it was all clear and asked "one of you burly types" to open it.
