Empty Graves Incongruity (spoilers)


Mummy's Mask


Reading through and prepping "Empty Graves"

Spoiler:

The description for F4. "Bulk Storage" says that the area once contained dead bodies, but that they escaped topside when the ka pulse went out. My question is how?

I can see only three exits: one is the secret door in F9, another is the loading dock at F6, neither of which is suitable for escaping zombies.

The only other area is the main entrance through F3, which contains the pit trap that will trigger with >100lb weight. A single zombie would weigh more than that, and I can't imagine a "mini-horde" politely queueing up, one-at-a-time, anyway.

How did they get out?

With that in mind, how do the Silver Chain come and go through here? I'm thinking of adding a Bypass option to the trap, requiring a DC10 Acrobatics check to edge around the outside of the trap without triggering it. That would let the SC come and go, but not the zombies.

I might just ditch the trap (no pun intended! :) ) entirely. We're not using XP, so it doesn't really matter in terms of levelling.

Anyone have any other ideas?

Thanks.

Put a dozen zombies at the bottom of the pit trap. They *tried* to escape.
