[QUOTE="Emperor Valerian, post: 1486553, member: 15043"] No... no failed INTs... just they were busy worrying about Alexander and no one tried to Sense Motive on the guards. And no one thought about the possibility of the trap until the giant, magically reinforced stone door was shut. :) As for Tess and the others not getting the swords in time against the Countess... um... the Countess is a massive massive badass, not to mention the party members were bound, and had to break their bindings first. Tess happened to have some bardic magic ready, and Shaun is a rogue... escape artistry is his past-time. The others needed more time to get out than they had. As for the Countess, she had [i]finger of death[/i] spells up the wazoo, and had no less than ten other spells prepared for use against the party ([i]Forcecage, Teleport Without Error, Globe of Invulnerability, Mage Armor, Tenser's Transformation, Demon Wings, Fireball (20d6 I believe), Cone of Cold (20d6 damage), Hold Person [/i] and [i]Dismissal[/i]. She's a major, frightening level spellcaster. Though considering her arrogant nature and how much the party ANNOYED her, I took the route that she would leave them to her minions (after all... we're going for epic, classic bad guy here :) ). After all, Shivalas and Ilia had an even bigger grudge against the party... they'd killed Rogar (Shivalas' dad and Ilia's husband). Call it... 'honor among demons' if you will :) [/QUOTE]
