The Ulfheonar's Tomb + Curious Players = End of Campaign :(
Posted: Sun Aug 05, 2012 5:19 am
The two characters brave enough to go into the crawl space found the real tomb first. The ghoul pouncing on them was a great way to make sure that they found it. However after crawling to the end of the shaft and taking a look inside the last room they decided to go back, but Area C-9 was calling to the players. The site of another spear plus a shield was to much of a temptation for them. After looting the Ulfheonar's chamber they went back to report to the main group. Returning with all that loot gave the party the confidence to shed armor and leave gear behind and crawl to the last room. The two warriors pushed sacks of armor ahead of them and dropped down into the room to suit up while everyone else followed after. It didn't take them long to try and move the puzzle pieces on the column and trigger the trap. Only two people had initiatives high enough to react before the end. One used his turn to boost the wizard up to the crawl space and was crushed with the rest of the party for his efforts.
Everything ground to a halt right here. One player who has died more times than I can remember in my short campaign said that he was never going to play this game again. He hates it. Every time he starts to enjoy it he dies. It's a shame because the wizard did survive and can crawl back out. He can pick up the real spear and horn along with a bunch of gear and head back to Hirot to recruit a new party.
A quick question
Where is the crawl space opening on the wall? I assumed it was high above the floor near the ceiling. When the massive stone slab fell down the player that dies all the time cried foul saying it wasn't very believable that a 20' high stone slab just fell down to cover the exit. I was stuck at that point and pointed out the fact that it did say massive.
