[Tomb of Horrors] Green Devil Face 1, Players 0

We started Tomb of Horrors with LotFP tonight!

I only had two players, and we decided we were just going to run through this dungeon, right? So we hit on this Dark Souls inspired mechanic: when you die, you "respawn" at the "bonfire" outside the dungeon. All stuff you had on you is still with your corpse (and if your corpse is down a bottomless pit or annihilated, so is your loot). And we stocked the "bonfire" area with pretty much any mundane equipment and all the magic items given for the pregenerated characters in the module.

We had brave players: they took a pair of level 1s in there: a specialist and a fighter. No magic user!

We had a lot of exploration, and here's how things went down:

First off, they died of thirst when they got trapped between a protruding wall section and some false doors.

Then they got eviscerated by a gargoyle of such a higher level that any attack would automatically hit and kill them.

(However, next time around, they came up with a devious plan to trap the gargoyle in a pit trap. It worked. Well on their way to level 2 just from that.)

Then the fighter fell down a 100' pit and died.

And now the piece de resistance: the specialist voluntarily climbed into the Green Devil Face and was annihilated. The fighter cut the rope tying them together and didn't suffer the same fate, but some sweet magic loot was thus annhilated as well.

LotFP worked great for this. We were up and running in no time without having to worry about weapon speeds and so forth.
