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.

Zafron and Tabbi will stand away from the door. 15 feet away to the north of the door and in the middle of the room.

Galan sees all taking cover and tells Bryce, "We have your back!" then he also takes cover but makes sure he can spot Bryce. "May the Gods have plans to use you as their toy long time after opening this door." he adds with a wink.

The others stand back as Bryce opens the door from one side to reveal a blank wall! Immediately a SCHUNK! sound follows and a spear flies from a gap in the stone hard enough to shatter against the opposite wall!!!

"Bryce search that wall to see if there is a hidden passage way."

Van goes to inspect the shattered spear. Does it look old?

"Wow! You can never be too careful it seems. Maybe the gods have decided to replace you with another toy." He tells Bryce with a smile. "Where did that spear came from anyway?"

The spear looks roughly made and not necessarily old. perhaps created by a crude creation spell? The speat sees to have obviously come from a fist-sized gap in the stone wall behimd the door

"Behind the door here." He gestures toward the fist sized gap in the wall behind the door.
With a quiet chuckle at Galan's quip at the gods replacing him for new new toy he remarks "I'm pretty sure that at least some bets are on me, I'm still alive after all."
He is going to move down to the other door farther down the hall and inspect that one for traps.

"Hmmm... At least our bets are on you!" Galan humorously encourages and play a nice tune speaking of brotherhood and cooperation.

Galan continues his encouragement through word and music as Bryce inspects the other door. The rogue finds thatt the second door appears to have a wall or step behind it, just as the first did.

"That my friend is what people who die at my job sound like." Bryce moves over to the wall opposite of the door and checks the wall for any seams that might indicate a trap. After that he eyeballs the ceiling and the floor for the same. If nothing stands out as trapped or odd, then he takes position to the side of the door and attempts to open it the same way as last time.

Zafron and Tabbi make sure they are out of the way of any arrows or danger that might be coming from that door.
