[QUOTE="Andvari, post: 9312913, member: 7036523"] I completely overhauled the layout of the pyramid when I ran Ruins of Adventure, in which the place is also quite mazy. I kept the concept of 3 floors and using teleporters, as well as most of the signature rooms. I decided Yarash would employ a score of strange creatures to guard the place - minotaurs, cockatrices, displacer beasts and mutant lizardmen. One memorable encounter my group had was when they attempted to rest within the minotaur lair. They had blocked the doors leading in, when a random encounter resulted in a minotaur wrangling 3 cockatrices. The minotaur broke a hole in the door, stuck in the staff to which the cockatrices were tethered, through the opening, then ran off as the monsters attacked the party. There was also a group of rust monsters guarding the teleporter to the 1st floor. They fed them metal scraps gathered from the minotaur smithy to avoid combat, but it was a tense moment for the paladin. They were clued in on their presence by capturing a fleeing minotaur (after a hectic chase through multiple teleporters) and interrogating it. Same paladin later had a cool moment where he intercepted and saved a lizard man slave as it was being dropped into an acid container by a minotaur. I also gave the players a few lizard man prisoners to control in combat after they busted them out of the prison. [/QUOTE]
