Ch. 5: Plunging Deeper Into the Tomb

Worren hurries forward into the room.

Elsa steps in, sword at the ready, moving to the side to get a view behind the columns.

[Inferno]

Dredd Doomsmith, dwarven trap-hacker:

Dredd is on the other side, tapping his feet impatiently.

"What took ye?!" the fat dwarf glowered.

"Well thank Dalt that your still among the living Dredd."

"Aye, lad. ...Er, lass."

"...For now at least." Dredd continued his methodical advance, searching for traps in this trapsmith's paradise.

Everyone rushes into the pillared hall. Zoster grabs Dredd's swords on the way, and Elsa reclaims her sword.

The door slams shut behind you, leaving a blank wall in its place. No one can find any trace of the door that used to be there—even the elves and the dwarf Dredd with his magical spectacles can find nothing.

You can now see more of the room.

It is a little over 100' from north to south wall. To your north, near the 30' ceiling of this chamber, is a green face with horns, similar to the one you saw in the entry hall.

Just to its west is a door that sits in a 10' protrusion from the north wall. To the south you can see a few steps that appear to form the edge of a raised dais.

Dredd starts methodically inspecting the area inch by inch for traps. Again.

This hall is huge. Does Dredd intend to search all of it? What does everyone else plan to do during the several hours or days it would take Dredd to search everything?

Dredd Doomsmith, dwarven traphacker:

DMG p. 97 has the time to search a door for traps at one minute. Searching a room at 10 minutes. This is a giant room of course.

Dredd the dwarf declared, "Which direction? Demon, door or dias?"

The methodical dwarf plans to search a safe path to one of these at a time, the order chosen by the party. Unless someone wants to cast Find Traps?

[max_vale]

Xale will call out to his companions; "I will pray for a dweamor that will enable me to see any traps that may be in this room and I can then point them out to you Dredd." With that, he will hold his Holy Symbol and call on Dalt's blessing for a Find Traps spell. He will then carefully scan the room....
