You appear at the entrance to the Tomb of Horrors
sans equipment and clothing. "What! Again?! Now I gotta find
new companions cause those others are gonners for sure now."
"Death to the Halfings!" - Battle cry
of Norin (CN Dwarf), while charging frost giants in "The Frost
Giant Jarl" modual". He was wearing the still wet hide
of a polar bear he had killed waving his battle axe. This happened
while the group was trying to sneak up on the giants.
Then one day we discovered Grey Hawke and with a pirate
photo copied version of the campaign set and the core player character
classes from the AD&D game we were off! Eventually we bought
the campaign set, played through the village of Homlet, the Giants
series, the Descent in the Depths of the Earth and even the Queen
of the Demon Web Pits. We went to the Pomarj and out into the Dust
Dessert.
We even tried 5 forays into the Acerak's tomb also
known as the Tomb of Horrors! Many many good heroes died...a moment
of silence please...but the ones that finally did it scored big!
There was only one character that survived all the attempts in the
tomb. He was a druid and twice lost all his equipment but returned
with new fellows with the hunger of treasure in their bones. Persistance
finally won out. Last I recall that druid renovated the tomb and
settled down there in the vast swamp.
The other high level characters started tracking down
lost cults of Tharizdun and eventually left Oerth for another world...
