[QUOTE="Wik, post: 5473877, member: 40177"] Oo! A variety of responses! Just what I was hoping for! I'm trying to get in the habit of writing weird "tricks" for a BECMI dungeon, and I didnt' want them to be too obvious. This one seems to be less obvious than I thought, which is great. and now, answers: First, mage hand isn't available. This is a BECMI dungeon. But assuming some way of doing it, you remotely sever the rope, and loop it back into the room. Upon doing so, and making a few quick checks, you are able to wake up the two adventurers. The last thing they remember was seeing the earlier adventurers in their group tying the shorter rope, and deducing that they needed a longer rope. #1 is easy enough. But the DM won't let you do #2. He's worked his butt off on this dungeon, and you're stuck here, like it or not. ;) Dispel magic on the people causes them to wake up for a second, look around, and then touch the rope and fall back asleep. Character with the big stick pokes the gem, and the second his stick touches the gem, he drops the stick and falls asleep. The gem wobbles a bit on the pedestal, but remains there. No one has an anti-magic scroll. You're all level 3. :P The second your 10 foot pole touches the rope, the person holding it falls to the ground, asleep. The pole seems to magnetically stick to the rope in the process. Throwing the pole to hit the gem, however, works. And wakes up all the adventurers! *** I'm not really gonna keep going from there, because I think the trick's been figured out. Any advice on how to make it better? More fiendish? [/QUOTE]
