Tomb of Horrors - 3d Build (Pictures of complete layout)

Welcome to the Tomb of Horrors

My party just finished their first ever run through the Tomb of Horrors. Well, finished is a term i use loosely. They walked away alive, so that's an achievement right?

The majority of the build is made from Hirst Art molds.

The lava tile's are made from 4-Bot Industries molds.
Some of the dungeon dressings were made from Lady Sabelle Designs.
The Green Daemon Face was made and replicated by me.

Disclaimer: This post contains ALL THE spoilers. DO NOT PROCEED if you are planning on playing this dungeon. It's too much fun to spoil. 

If you have not run this dungeon... get onto your DM :) It is player breaking, demoralizing, it will likely kill you, but the take away stories are great!

THE WHOLE THING TOGETHER

A summary of what happened... aka 'Why you don’t mess with wish magic!'

The stand out points from last nights session

Campaign History: The party were staying in the Deadly Depth Inn at the base of Mount Hotenow. An infant was kidnapped form the inn which the party later discovered was kidnapped by Drow. They chased those Drow down into the Underdark in a campaign that spanned the last year.

As they neared Menzoberranzan they encountered Bregan D'aerthe lead by Jarlaxle who gave them a choice. Die by our hands or enter the Tomb of Horrors and return to me the treasure you find.

This is how that campaign ultimately… sort of ended… well at least reset

/Fast forward to the last half of the Tomb of Horrors!

The sorcerer tapped the silver end of the scepter onto the door @29 teleporting himself naked back to the start of the dungeon.

The Barbaric Paladin who didn't pay attention to Sorcerer did exactly the same thing.

The Barbaric Paladin and Sorcerer proceeded to make their way back to the party stopping to fashion some socks and jocks out of the dead snakes. Unfortunately they lacked the necessary equipment to unlock the Obsidian door @24 making it impossible for them to return to the party.

As such they decided to investigate 23A. They opened the door and fell instantly unconscious for 8 turns. A juggernaut started rolling down the corridor towards them coming to a stop just in front of Sorcerer. Unfortunately for the Barbaric Paladin who was in front of Sorcerer and ultimately got squashed dead.

BOOM MY FIRST EVER PLAYER KILL

Sorcerer relayed this information to the team who we're all quite depressed with the exception of our now evil Sorcerer (he went through the wrong door earlier) who proceed to have a laugh about it with the local Nymph.

Monk, Cleric and Fighter proceeded into the treasure room (30). Spending about 3 hours tippie towing around for no reason as they were afraid the Metal Statues would come to life and destroy them. Fighter eventually popped the gold stopper on the smoking urn @30 releasing an Efreeti who granted him 3 wishes.

Wish1: I wish the Efreeti to follow me until the 3 wishes are granted.

Wish2: I wish for our entire party to be teleported to the start of the dungeon with all our gear, all our health and all our knowledge of the dungeon.

Sure no problems said the Efreeti.

The party blink and they are standing back in the gorge in from of Jarlaxle and some of his companions.

Jarlaxle laughs.

The party realize they are standing there naked next to a pile of chests which can only be assumed to contain all of their equipment.

At this point the players all went outside of the room to plan the 3rd wish. They obviously had a plan they did not want me to know about.

Jarlaxle proceed to offer the party a deal. Step away from the chests and he would let them live and he would arm them with standard armor and weapons of their choosing.

The party reacted in a way I did not see coming.

They agreed.

Jarlaxle came good on his promise. Members of Bregan D'aerthe appeared through a portal and surrounded the players. Two of the Drow came and took the chests of equipment away. The others provided armor and weapons to the party and were even nice enough to return the casters arcane focus.



The players then proceeded to go back through the portal that would return them to the Tomb of Horrors?

At this point in time the clever Fighter made his third wish.

Wish3: I wish the entire party was back at the Deadly Depth Inn in full health with all of the gear that Jarlaxle just took.

The player's blink and appear back at the Deadly Depth Inn. They are still wearing the same armor and carrying the same weapons that the Drow just gave them. Their original magical items are however missing?

Everyone look's confused except the Barbaric Paladin...

"Jarlaxle didn't take the gear... two random Drow did!"

And that is how this yearlong campaign just got randomly reset over nothing more than a conversation.

I'm sure everyone is now sitting down in a booth having a beer trying to convince the Barbaric Paladin, who took an Oath of Vengeance against the kidnappers, that they really don't care enough about the baby to go after her again...

Thanks for playing the Tomb of Horrors guys :) And perhaps next time...
