The trap was taller than our halfling who just walked underneath it. At one point he was considering riding the blades like a surf board!Rick Maffei wrote:
I am curious is anyone here played through the shearing room trap/elevator - the trap where you had to jump or duck?
Cool! Your Rogue had to make two pretty good back to back rolls there or you would have all ended up "ducking into" a "little more chaotic situation"... I am happy you were on edge, but kinda sad you missed the trap!jfrenia wrote:We did; first of all we got to the mouth of the room and saw the 2 grooves extending down the hallway and the different types of walls that we didn't want to step in. We thought for sure a large blade was going to chop the room in half, so we left the room to explore elsewhere.
After some more exploring, we returned to the location and crawled below the groove all the way back to the room, making sure we stayed under that groove. Once we were in it, luckily the rogue hit the button in time and we stayed with the bottom to take us to the next level, but the room definitely had us on edge!
We did not share with your saddness!gargoyle wrote: I am happy you were on edge, but kinda sad you missed the trap!
None of the other teams detected that room on level 3, so they dont know what you are talking aboutscrotoz wrote:My favorite moment was in Round 3 in the room with the dagger and the orc shaman.
Whoops, my bad. To set it up, circular room with a dagger that's very important to the conclusion of the dungeon suspended in a red globe of energy. Two orc shamans and 3 (blinking!!) orc warriors pray around the globe. One orc shaman reaches in the globe to grab the dagger and gets disintegrated.N'Haaz-aua wrote:None of the other teams detected that room on level 3, so they dont know what you are talking about
That would have been an amusing assumption had the trap gone off! Man i hope that trap went off on someone!brogan_a wrote:The trap was taller than our halfling who just walked underneath it. At one point he was considering riding the blades like a surf board!Rick Maffei wrote:

This was my first experience writing and judging for DCC. I ran four rounds of Level 1 and let me tell you, one of my favorite experiences was running a group with players who hadn't cracked open a D&D book since 1st edition. They were my highest scoring group, not because they understood every tactical nuance of v.3.5 D&D, but because they understood and keenly responded to the principles of classic dungeon crawl. Huzzah!gargoyle wrote:One of the things i love about D&D - and the authors at Goodman Games understand this and write accordingly - is the best players have seen and done it almost all of it...
Is that the dagger that is supposed to free the axe? I was wondering where that was. I don't think you needed it to complete the dungeon though. You wanted the dagger to keep the heartfeasters from using it to free the axe.scrotoz wrote:To set it up, circular room with a dagger that's very important to the conclusion of the dungeon suspended in a red globe of energy.
I'm not sure about the 1st level room, but I definitely recall the room with "gravity problems". We opened a door to find 4 orcs (I think they were orcs)...and one of them was on the ceiling! We fought them from the doorway and never entered the room. We did summon a bear, and had it enter the fray, while the barbarian whacked at anything that came near the door. Suddenly, the room shifted a different direction (in terms of gravity). This happened a couple times during the course of the combat. Yogi wasn't happy about it.Rick Maffei wrote: Hints: Any contestants recall a room on the upper level where it was easy to "get the point" (quite literally) or one on the lower level that had some, well let's say, "gravity problems"?
Is that the room you're talking about? How did you open the door at the other end? Did it open AT ALL?jfrenia wrote:hmmm... not sure if you mean the room that was full of spikes that had a small path working through it, on level 1?
That was indeed the room ... and yes, the gate could be opened!fathead wrote:Is that the room you're talking about? How did you open the door at the other end?

We walked straight across the spike room (based on the riddle on the floor about walking the most orderly path).
Then, we proceeded to spend the next 30 minutes trying to open the other door...and finally gave up.
Just a little. Heh heh.jfrenia wrote:That room looked a little dangerous, LOL.
I've been writting a module of my own as well and will enjoy seeing it in action!
As far as the orcs went, nothing but feathered death!!!fathead wrote:Tell us more about what happened in that room! I'm intrigued. Give us details! What happened?
We actually had the other clue as well...and STILL couldn't get the door open. All we succeeded in doing was disarming the trap...Rick Maffei wrote: That was indeed the room ... and yes, the gate could be opened!
A "special" spike along the "real" (read: safe) pathway provided a clue to open the door; without that clue, opening the door would be difficult, but not impossible.
Well done figuring out the first clue ... I've just heard tell that other teams may not have been so wise/lucky!
So, nothing happened when he grabbed the dagger? I guess the orc shaman disarmed a magical trap for you.scrotoz wrote:As far as the orcs went, nothing but feathered death!!!fathead wrote:Tell us more about what happened in that room! I'm intrigued. Give us details! What happened?
The fact that we watched an orc shaman get disintegrated while trying to reach in and get the dagger had us FREAKED OUT.
We went there again when time was running out and had our Fort save guy reach in and snag the dagger (after appropriately buffing him of course).
I'll admit it....we were scared. Goodman Games messed with our minds yet again!
Funny.Ahh...that would make sense considering the room in round 2 (crypt of Desid Blightbane...however you spelled his name).jfrenia wrote: or possibly it was an alignment that allowed you to grab it...
Yeah, Rella didn't like trying to open that door, LOLfathead wrote:Ahh...that would make sense considering the room in round 2 (crypt of Desid Blightbane...however you spelled his name).
Neither did Landron.jfrenia wrote:Yeah, Rella didn't like trying to open that door, LOLfathead wrote:Ahh...that would make sense considering the room in round 2 (crypt of Desid Blightbane...however you spelled his name).
