When using the megadungeon mechanics for this encounter, if the nature and lethality level of the eye beams is not adequately communicated to the players by the time the party reaches this room, that failure is 100% on the GM, regardless of how the adventure has played out up to that point; merely quoting the box text about “countless dead bodies” does not cut it. The players should feel the full gravity of this lethal challenge and the pursuit pressure from the Invincibles, but they shouldn’t stumble unwittingly into a no-save deathtrap.
Thank you so much for this deep-dive Doomvault series! Very informative and helpful, especially for those who are prepping their first ICRPG game I tried and could not find the last episode about the Ritual Chamber you are referring to at the end of this video. Could you please help me figure out whether I missed it or there is no such an episode?
Thanks! And sorry for the delay. I actually have the final scene on the docket for an upcoming livestream. The end of the year shenanigans put me behind schedule.

A tasty sneak-peak of that map at the end 😊
