[QUOTE="jonesy, post: 5757954, member: 10324"] And so, into the crypt stepped the remnants of the late paranoid wizards party. A cleric, a fighter, and the rogue who'd barely escaped the wizards fireball staff rampage in the vat room. All through this time the fighter had done nothing to contribute to the exploration. This was because he'd been carrying something between his hands that he'd found earlier in the Tomb. Something he'd sworn would prove to be useful. Something he himself had been cursing ever since he'd stepped into it. Earlier he'd had the wizard help him remove it onto a blanket, which he'd then been carefully holding. But all this was fine with the cleric and the rogue who'd managed to survive the entire way while their party got smaller and smaller. They'd outwitted the Tomb, they'd survived. And then the cleric died from opening the door to the crypt. And then the mountain of wisdom and luck that the rogue had been up to this point goes and picks up the skull. And the fighters player is shouting "No! No! Put it down!" And the rogue stumbles back, and the skull rises, and then.. ..the fighter throws the web that was impervious to everything except magical fire and wishes over the skull. The web, and the blanket he'd been carrying it plastered on. And then we had to stall the ending of the game as we pondered whether Acererak could see through the blanket or not. Or if he'd even react to the web being on him as the text talks about someone touching or striking. Could he brake free? He doesn't have access to wishes or he'd done something with them. Can he cast fire spells? No mention of anything like that. The web was stuck over him, and the blanket over them. Can you blind a demilich? But he might still be able to sense the characters through them, and do the soul sucking thing. The text in the module was very little help. In the end it was pointless when we realized that it was the fighter whose soul Acererak wanted, and he acts instantaneously (since he chooses a mage over a fighter over a cleric over a thief). So, interesting idea and all, and good job getting the web there and trying to use it, but the moment the skull rose the fighter went down and so did the web, and got stuck to the floor and itself. And the rogue ran and never looked back. [/QUOTE]
