"Clearly," thought we, "these doors are designed to slam shut and trap us with some horrible monster. We should disable them so we can escape." So we did. Quite thoroughly. We demolished those doors.Then we fought the crab in the bubble. And I used an area attack.Hey, I was playing somebody else's character as well as my own, okay? I had a lot on my mind.Long story short, the bubble burst. The doors, of course, had been intended to keep the dungeon from being flooded if this happened. Boiling water filled the entire dungeon. About half the party survived thanks to the wizard casting dimension door at the last second; then we watched from outside as the whole mountain collapsed.The worst part was, we'd been hired to bring back one specific item--Whelm. We'd already found Blackrazor, and somebody grabbed Wave just before we teleported out, but the one weapon we'd actually come to retrieve went down with the mountain.</blockquote>
