Suppose you have 6 PCs. Take the following steps:(1) Make up six small pieces of paper, one with each PCs name on it. Fold the pieces up and put them in a hat.(2) Tell the PCs that they see an entrance to a dungeon.(3) When they go in to the dungeon, describe a room. Make sure there are a few exits, but describe the room any way you like.(4) After you describe the room, draw a PCs name out of a hat. Tell the PCs, "A herd of zebras and wildebeasts just ran through the room, unavoidably catching (the PC whose name you drew) in their stampede. He is crushed to death, with no saving throw or chance to avoid the stampede".(5) When the PCs enter the next room, draw another name from the hat, and repeat steps (3) and (4). If a PC is raised or brought back from the dead, put their name back in the hat.(6) Repeat step (5) until you or the players get bored.OPTIONAL(7) Once the PCs have all died at least once, tell them they come in to a room with lots of treasure and a skull. If they touch anything in the room, tell them they all die instantly, so saving throw, and that their souls have been completely destroyed, erasing any chance for a return.There you go! You have just recreated the Tomb of Horrors experience!</blockquote>
