Within the chamber is a door that leads to mysterious artifacts and treasure, but they will need to stand on the correct pressure plates in order to open it.

    When you play DnD 5e and the DM says: "This doors are sealed by a 64 level wizard".
    Players: -chuckles- "I'm in danger".

    I will probably use this but I would put the symbols on the sarcophagi and then when a lit candle is put in the hand of a mummy, that number is "activated"
    so the solution is to put a lit candle in the hands of the 8, 2 and 1-mummy
    the only sarcophage that doesnt do anything (4) will then be a secret door or treasure alcove

    I like this puzzle and those alternative solutions that would take them to different directions

  • @InquisitorThorn
    @InquisitorThorn 3 года назад +2

    I think instead of having the clue being written (11 times) around the main doorway, they can be found throughout the room. That way the party would be encouraged to really explore the room and ask questions about the layout and items therein.

    • @WallyDM
      @WallyDM  3 года назад

      I dig that idea. I'm always up for making the players look around and explore more of the area. Absolutely!

  • @Foerick
    @Foerick 3 года назад +1

    You can change the words to Bone Crusher. The wrong pressure plates either pressed or not pressed animates the bones into skeletons that will attack the party. For example if they stand on the octagon and square it animates 3 skeletons one for the square, 2 lines and 1 line that were incorrectly activated. The skeletons will have 11 HP, AC 11, 2 claw attacks +1 doing 11 slashing damage. They are immune to all damage except bludgeoning.

    • @WallyDM
      @WallyDM  3 года назад

      Nice. I dig this alternative way to run the puzzle. Well done! Seems like you have encountered a horde of relentless skeletons in a dungeon before? Hmmm... lol. :)

      I'll definitely need to check that out. I'm a big fan of hexadecimal, mainly because I see it all the time in web design with color hex codes. Ya know, I would love to do a puzzle using hexadecimal some day... I'm putting it on my list of ideas to brainstorm...

  • @MamanYossi
    @MamanYossi 3 года назад +2

    I Really liked this one, I would also add a chance of real mummies to break out of some of the sarcophagi in case of too many wrong pressure plates tries.

    • @WallyDM
      @WallyDM  3 года назад +1

      I'm with ya on this. But, I will probably include a combat scene with mummies regardless on whether or not they solved it correctly... mwahaha! **evil DM laugh**

    Great video.
    I like the two doors but I would make the second door lead to loot or to troll an fast exit out of the dungeon and now have to go all the way back. I don't believe both should lead to the same location, to me that would throw a bone to the players.
    Now then one thing I will change is. When they step on a pressure plate the green turn yellow, turn red then the sounds of a gone ringing. It won't hurt the players but confused them. You see, the players might not notice but the one that trigger is now curse with a spirit that will make life for him/her harder. Attack rolls disadvantage..his items just happen to break. The only way to see them is through a mirror.
    This could be the message on the wall. "There everywhere" on a different wall "mirror reveal them." Which used a mirror wont show anything till someone fail the plat combo.
    Keep up the good work

    • @WallyDM
      @WallyDM  3 года назад +1

      Oh, nice! I really like the curse / mirror ideas. I dig it. Also, I agree. I would rather have the two different solutions lead to separate areas. Thank you for this great response and discussion. I always look forward to your comments on the videos. :)

    I pause every video and I never get it right! I had the numbers assigned to each symbol, but I thought the code would be 5-1-5 rather than 11, and I figured "There's no 5 here! The lines mustn't matter" and then I started thinking about the tile colours.

    • @WallyDM
      @WallyDM  3 года назад +1

      That is cool that you pause and think about the video, I always wondered if folks actually do that. Now I know! Also... I feel your pain. Sure, I can create puzzles, but solving them? I'm usually a hard fail. lol. Thank you for watching, my friend. Cheers!

    This puzzle is way to niche fur Meow. Meow also think that it would be fur most players and that if they figured it out it would mostly be just by random chance. Sorry that at this moment I can not think of anyway to improve upon it.

    • @WallyDM
      @WallyDM  3 года назад

      No worries, I think this is a pretty solid puzzle as is. A bit niche in presentation with the Tomb, but I think it could be adjusted to fit quite a few different dungeons or scenarios. Cheers to Meow!

      @@WallyDM Think it would take alot of reworking and wouldn't be worth all the effort. Would be great to use if one of the players is a computer person or whatever tho.
