I ran this on Saturday night and although we had no deaths, there were plenty of wounds when the scenario was done.
We had 6 players all playing pregens.
2 Swashbucklers
2 Bloodragers
1 Warpriest
1 Investigator
the Party did not set off the rock trap, therefore avoiding the portcullis from dropping. After the battle with the pyramid they went in and delt with the Mimic which had 2 grappled and 4 weapons in the slime.
They went on to the False Pharaoh, and then to the left where they delt with the skeleton archers. The Hunter was next and so was his kitty. not hurting as bad as they thought they would be they then set off down the long hallway, they only managed to activate the Fire elemental Obelisk and get the fire gem. Further down the hall when the Investigator found the trap and the door into the Anubis Guardian Statues. One of the bloodRagers went up to the door and attempted to open it without the key. He wend down with a crit (not dead just down) the other Bloodrager get it for 7 or 8 i think.
At this time the decide to run and close the doors behind them and make their way outside to rest. They manage to get the doors closed and make their way out to the entryway. Where they use up what is left of the wand and their healing spells.
They were able to rest per my horrible rolls to see if they get attacked, alas no.
Back in and healed up they decide to go right where the Bloodrager who tried to open the door to the BBEG toumb jumps into the first reed boat and then to the final boat. They are able to dispatch the swarm with Alchemist fire and on they go. The Harem room was not as hard as they thought it would be the Qarpriest and the Bloodragers took good care of them, with help from the two Swashbucklers. Through the secret door they go out of all heals at this time. The large mummy blocks the way and starts to chip away at the PCs in the doorway. The mummy was then able to come over and swing through the doorway and hit as needed and back away (and at +14 just needed a 4 or better as the Bloodragers saved most of the rage for the end. After getting blasted by the Large zombie and hurting pretty bad they all surround the BBEG. He is able to drop one when he takes his final hit from the group and is dispatched. I think all in all one of the Bloodragers went down twice and the Warpriest once and one of the Swashbucklers once.
Glorious times had by all...
OH and two of the players are under 10 and doing this every week almost, and loving it. though the younger one was getting tired in the last two fights.
That took longer that I had anticipated. I would like to see how it runs with just the 4 pregens and 4 premade characters PFS and NON PFS.
On that note I do agree that the pyramid was overpowered for the scenario level, and the BBEG hitting for +14 OUCH, that would have killed the party if I had been rolling better.
All in all a good scenario and I think a good prelude to Mummy's Mask.
Just my 2 cents.
