[QUOTE="dmfubar, post: 6204528, member: 92267"] In Pathfinder, I created an ancient king's cairn and sent the player's on a quest to retrieve a dragonbane spear held by the king's spirit. The party, 6 adventurers, of which the only tank/clerical support is a single paladin (everyone else is a support class), made their way to the cairn and found the entrance, a granite doorway with a bas-relief of a dragon lanced through the chest with a spear. The rogue (a sniper archetype... no trap-finding) decided to pick the ancient keyhole. From the dragon's mouth issued a frigid cloud doing damage to the rogue and monk who was aiding him. The rogue took a moment, then tried to force the door... repeat frigid breath. Then the monk, noticing the diamond gemstones in the dragon's eyes, fired an arrow trying to knock one loose. No breath, but a lance of coldness shot out and struck the paladin. That's when the rogue (he had never looked or asked to check the trap itself), at the sorcerer's suggestion took a closer look at the bas-relief and one engineering check later, realized the wings and the spear moved. He pushed down on the wings while the sorcerer pushed the spear up (and in) and the door opened. As a GM, I was very happy with this beginning to the adventure. No one in the party has been up against traps, but after some intense use of wands of curing and paladin lay on hands, they are being a bit more careful as they move through the cairn itself. Though, we did leave off with the Paladin dropping unconscious during a battle with Skeletal Champions. Luckily for the hapless group, there was only one opponent left at the time, and he was down to single digits on hit points. I should also say that the reason the paladin went down was aided a great deal by the halfling sorcerer's continuous use of fireballs with no regard to who may be within the spell's radius. I know he hit the poor paladin twice, and this was not the first time that it had happened. I expect there will be words upon the paladin regaining consciousness. [/QUOTE]
