[QUOTE="Bullgrit, post: 5616327, member: 31216"] When have I made a claim contrary to this? Not at all. The only successful mitigation presented from actual play – the pitons – I said was clever. And I haven’t said any mitigation can’t happen. You’re quoting one line from me, and then arguing against something else, that I’ve never said or implied. Are you sure you’re connecting your argument to the right person? My only argument against what some folks are putting forward as easy trap avoidance/solutions is that it’s easy to say, “oh, just do this” when you know that “this” is the solution for the particular situation. I’m asking for how would a party know to make such specific safety precautions at that time? It’s been said that Acererak gives fair clues for surviving the Tomb. I’m asking what are the clues? I’m not saying fair clues do not exist, but I’m not taking someone’s word for it – I’m expecting to be shown, not just told to believe. Yes. But is this how to best explore the Tomb? To approach each and every thing with a long list of mitigating actions? From what some people are saying, it would seem that going through the Tomb is just a matter of paying attention to clues and thinking. Please explain these clues. But from what I’m reading, it would seem that going through the Tomb is a matter of approaching everything like a CSI team or bomb squad. The CSI/bomb squad approach is a legitimate method and game play style, and some people really enjoy that. Bullgrit [/QUOTE]
