[QUOTE="CapnZapp, post: 7766441, member: 12731"] First off, please keep in mind that SBLOCK tags work on desktop but not in the app; and SPOILER tags work in the app, but not on desktop. The tldr is: always use both. [spoiler][sblock]That's fair... but also not representative - a party that's approaching double-digit levels that still can't cast language magics, and that haven't taken other steps to gain language capacity, even in a foreign land with significant amounts of content communicated in other languages than Common must be considered weak in this area, weaker than can reasonably be expected of the adventure writer. I am fully aboard the notion that nobody knows a specific language such as Infernal. But a party steaming ahead without having any recourse to translate it? They pretty much deserve getting banged up by the trap - remember, we're at the very end of a very long campaign, so I don't see the stakes being raised as unreasonable here. (Pro Tip: When they next can't decipher a clue, maybe send in one hero and have the rest stay back? :) ) I don't think I would call that assumption "hardcore D&D" ;) [/sblock][/spoiler] But anyway - thanks for replying, now I know the room likely doesn't have any (other) hidden gotchas. Cheers [/QUOTE]
