Message: <blockquote data-quote="clockworkjoe" data-source="post: 85337" data-attributes="member: 1321">-Can villains, in placing their nonmagical treasure, choose treasure with combat advantages?  The most obvious tactic would be to place rooms full of alchemist fire flasks or something similar, which could be used to restock their gear.No, of course not. The treasure represents the lieutenants' coffers. You can't pay merchants with alchemist fire.-I'm assuming that the third level can't be accessed through ethereal travel, right?  That is, could someone turn ethereal , walk down the ethereal equivalent of the stairway to the third level, and return to the prime plane?  To avoid other smartass tactics like this, it might be worth inserting "etc." after the clause prohibiting digging or teleporting into the third level.Correct. The ONLY way to get to the third level is walking through the entrance proper.-Similarly, I'm assuming that the adventurer getting onto the third level needs to get their original body and consciousness down there in one piece, right?  Or can magic-jar-like tricks work? ("Hey, guys!" says a suddenly bleary-eyed guard.  "I'm, um, going to go down and check on the lich for a bit, okay?  heheheh")-How long do you expect the turnover on turns to take?  Is this something where participants will need to be posting five times a day?  Once a day?Correct, the adventurers have to be in original bodies and conscious. I won't specify why, but if the good guys win the battle, they'll be treated to a special happy ending, which will show how a 9th level character can stop a 20th level lich.Also a few things:All evil spellcasters can assume they have access to as many dead bodies as they wish. The corpses can only be PHB races or basic real animal species. Each corpse costs 50 gold pieces and can be fleshy or skeletalThe entrance to the third level is a 5 foot wide 10 foot tall portal.  third level can only be entered from this entrance.Also note that ANY good team member entering the third level has a flat 50% chance of being noticed by the lich. If a person is noticed by the lich, the lich will cast a spell to kill him or her.  This chance remains 50% every round a good person remains in the third level.</blockquote>
