How high up is the ceiling?
"Wish we had a member of the Rogue's guild.., his knowledge could have shed some light on the purpose of these doors and corpses."
"Be wary Alissa. This whole room stink of a death-trap."
Concentrating, he invokes the racial memories and spirits of his ancestor dragons for guidance and knowledge to the purpose and functioning of this room.
Knowledge: Arcana
Knowledge: Dungeoneering
Using the rope trip like I did on the doors by the bridge.
Hold Alissa, these bosies were electrocuted. Something is amiss in this room.
The doors are probably trapped with lightning bolt instead of electric jolt like the door by the bridge was.
That is why I am going to rig my rope and open it from the corner so I am out of the way.

You were a little unclear. When in the room are the holes?
|
Alissa: As you open door 1A it opens to a 10' wide x 20' long hallway with a slight incline. This is turn leads to a 40' diameter funnel shaped room, at the bottom are several 1' wide diameter holes.
At the far side of the room is a 10'wide passage way with stairs leading down.
The corpses you see on the floor were foolish enough to open the right handle when the room was filled with water. If you open the correct door with water, you take a ride into the next room where the water drains and awaits it's next victim
Ah. Very fiendish.
We follow the tunnel.
*Tell me when I need to make a roll to check for traps.*
OOC: The Tomb of Horrors, played it once, ran it twice, played the sequeal half-way through. Fun, but deadly stuff.
"Killer door handles and more gemstones, time to gaze on more magical auras."
Gets to it with three rounds of heavy concentration.
Well, Nightmare Keep is in a class by itself. You'll see, I think. =)
Rappan Athuk (PF) or the Temple of Elemental Evil 3rd edition?
AMS: The right door handle radiates evocation magic.
Jenny: Nightmare Keep is for 18-20th level 2E characters a PF character would need to be 6th or 7th at least
What about the gemstones?
Gotcha.
Am S, you said only the right door radiates magic?
I will try the left door.
Is the curtain stationary, or is it riffling?
detect magic
How far does light extend into this room?
I see no magical auras, but the place could hold unseen dangers. Be wary of traps.
*Opens curtain from side.*

Nesod: The worst part about traps is the anticipation of traps.
Alissa: Beyond the curtain is a 200' long x 80'wide room rectangular room. It's floor is marked with 3 mosaic diagrams we'll call 1,2 and 3 made of tiny ceramic chips. Each diagram appears to show a section of a corridor, one branch leading to a key. Each diagram shows a 50' long x 10' wide hallway.
Diagram 1: Shows a 10' x 10' branch leading to the left with a key
Diagram 2: Shows a 10' x 10' branch leading to the right with a key
Diagram 3: Shows a 10' x 10' branch leading to the right, but at the end of the 50' long hallway, there is a key.
Three arches open in the north wall. Diagram 1 and Arch 1 are made of black marble, Diagram 2 and Arch 2 are made of opaque green glass and Diagram 3 along with Arch 3 are made of a violet substance that looks like dried sponge.
Above the archwaysis a message spelled out in a patchwork mosaic of black marble, opaque green glass and a violet spongelike substance. The message reads:[b]THREE KEYS FOR THE GOLD, TWO STRINGS TO BREAK THE CUBE, ONE CUBE TO TRAP THE MIST.
What do you care. You are dead already.
"What can I do boss?"
Hmmmmmm.

No, the worstpart of traps is the ability damage, repetitive, save or get hurt, nigh-undetectable nature.
I'm recording each of the diagrams in my journal.
Yeah that sucks too,
Just an FYI in case i was not clear the diagrams show an open ended 50' long segment of a hallway, with the branches being 10' and ending in a key
