Message: <blockquote data-quote="Khairn" data-source="post: 2580482" data-attributes="member: 20153">Here's the scene ...the party travels down a long corridor, with a pane of glass at the far end that stretches from floor to ceiling and wall to wall.  A few feat past the glass is a portcullis with spikes at each intersection facing the pane of glass.  Through the glass and portcullis the players can see a large room (50' x 50').  In the middle of the room was the gem (appropriate treasure) that they had been searching for.The party is appropriately paranoid.  So they try to detect, magic, poison, traps etc.  All to no avail.Finally the barbarian decides everyone has put too much thought into this and breaks the glass with his axe.The room beyond is almost 300' tall and a complete vacum.  Everyone including the barbarian failed their strength rolls to avoid being pulled forward and impaled on the spikes of the portcullis.  The extra weight of their impaled bodies disturbs the balance of the portcullis causing it to fall forward (towards where the party came from), further impaling them under a few tons of sharpened iron.Made the GM beam like a proud papa, and to this day the players become insanely paranoid whenever they see a pane of glass.</blockquote>
