[QUOTE="Bullgrit, post: 5654769, member: 31216"] I know this is going back to very early in this thread, but this just came to me: Why should the explorers trust the poem in the path? Following the path leads through some of the pit traps, (while going around others). Stoat mentioned this in his original description. Following the path leads the party into traps sometimes, and avoids traps sometimes. From the party's perspective/experience, the path shouldn't be trusted 100%. So why trust the poem hidden in the path? The more I think on this, the more convinced I become that the path poem isn't meant to be a "walk through" text. It is intentionally difficult, vague, and misleading. I'm bring this up now, even this late in the thread, because we keep referring back to it as we discuss more tricks and traps through the Tomb. Comparing that path-poem to the tricks and traps throughout the Tomb is sort of like comparing a daily horoscope with our daily events. We'll find things that seem to be related, and we'll overlook/dismiss things that don't relate. Bullgrit [/QUOTE]
