Trial Of The Beast: The very last rooms (SPOILERS, duh)


Carrion Crown

Silver Crusade

Greetings,

my group is heading straight for the Schloss and I found a couple of things that bugged me greatly. I hope you might help me out here.

1. How did the Promethean get from L2 up to L3? This thing is huge (literally, that's his size), so how can he possibly fit through a 5 feet wide staircase?

2. L2 is described as a prison. Fine. But how exactly did he hold him captive there? There are no prison bars mentioned anywhere. While the way down is blocked by the adamantine trap door, the way up seems open (well, it's too small, but if that was the only measure point 1 is an even bigger problem). I assume adding bars isn't too much of a problem, but still - it's irritating.

3. The tower is too small for the fight. If I put the Promethean on top of the tower the group will have trouble standing up there. The beast won't be able to fit at all. I mean sure, it should be cramped, but that's just ridiculous.

My solutions are as follows:
1. He just squeezed through and the staircase is pretty much busted. Including a Promethan-sized hole in the ceiling.
2. I thought about just ruling that the trap doors in both directions were adamantine before the one going upstairs was damaged/stolen, but this raises the question how the count manages to get upstairs without running into the promethean. As an alchemist he doesn't seem to have any ways of just flying up there, so I guess I will just add some bars there. They are extremly expensive, but hey - what isn't in this dungeon?
3. Doubling the size seems a little too much. I think making the diameter 50 feet instead of 30 should to the trick - the platform itself will be 40 feet in diameter.

What did you do? Any suggestions or critique on mine?
