[QUOTE="FusionBurner, post: 2928054, member: 41975"] [b]Boxer Briefs[/b] I believe the correct way to proceed with this is when the players say "OK, we are going through the double doors." then the DM says, "There is a 10 foot long corridor leading down when you open the doors." then the players say, "alright, we proceed with caution down the corridor." then the DM says, "The corridor ends at a doorway, which looks like it opens into a room .. what do you do?" players: "We enter the room, looking for any sign of danger.." DM: "You now enter the burial room which is 30 feet wide by 40 feet long. The great sarcophagus is in the center of the room, the golden staff lying across it. In the center of the north wall stands a statue of Amun-Re with a carved copy of the Star of Mo-Pelar held out in its right hand and the staff held across its body with its left hand. A phrase is written on both the east and west walls." ------------------------------------------------- The text does not assume anything. You have to use your common sense and take things step by step, just as you would in a real life situation. To say the text assumes anything is saying the book is smarter than the reader. Don't let those text boxes fool ya, guys. :P Game On! [/QUOTE]
