[QUOTE="Celebrim, post: 5847077, member: 4937"] [b]The Litany of Death[/b] For something like this, there really isn't much of a story so I won't give a full walkthrough: [spoiler] 1) Elf Fighter 4/M-U 4 - Attempted to swing across water after creating an ill advised rope swing using several normal ropes and a magical rope of climbing. Neglected that the hypoteneus of a right triangle is longer than the other two sides, and ended up in the drink. His character had only 10 hit points due to bad hit point rolls; shocked to death by an electric eel. 2) Halfling Thief 6 - Asphexiated by poison gas while helping to push a stone block. Three sixes in a row for damage from the gas doomed the character. 3) Dwarf Fighter 5 - Pulled a part by a pair of giant beetles. 4) Human Fighter 5 - Had lost all of his equipment during the ill advised rope tricks when he paniced and quaffed a potion of gaseous form. He managed to scavange a pitted bronze spear and bits and peices of rotted armor from the tomb, but found himself beset by zombies. While fleeing, attempted to grab a golden ring from the eagle's mouth in hopes finding something useful, but became stuck and was torn apart. 5) Human Cleric 5 - Fell into a pit, and was zapped by a Will O' Wisp.[/spoiler] In general, I consider C1 to be a much harder, harsher, and less fair module than the more famous S1: Tomb of Horrors (which is only the third hardest module I've played). So the results were not that surprising and were probably about the expected for this module assuming a complete lack of famliarity with the text of both it and MM2. [/QUOTE]
