Death Counter: 3

Only four party members spill out into a room that looks like a chapel. They turn back to see a waterfall of colorful lights behind them, and no sign of Moxxi Floxxi’s Son (Player is out these last two sessions, so his PC was unceremoniously killed off!).

Thankfully they find a quick replacement, Professor Norbert Von Wrinkle, an eccentric vedalken who seemingly jerks to life when the party arrives.

The chapel proves to be the deadliest room so far.

Ms. Plissken’s detect magic senses evil coming from the southern end, which holds an altar, a wooden chair on a raised dais, some unlit candles, and some vases. 

Oh, and a dead harengon body. Thumper! 

The body doesn’t reveal any information, though its arm is outstretched toward the only doorway in the room, which again is barred by those damn colorful lights.

Murals on the wall don’t offer any clues, but the pews have hinges, and can be opened.

Montana’s feeling a bit restless and goes to touch the altar. A lightning bolt shoots out of the back wall, striking everyone waiting in the central aisle. Oops!

Ms. Plissken opens a pew, discovering it’s full of gold! Montana opens another pew and sets off a large poison cloud — damn it! 

Snigbat examines a vase, only to drop it and unleash another poison cloud. Come on!

While Norbert examines the dead body, Snigbat charges through the light-waterfall. He, uh, changes sexes on the other side, and grows meaner and more aggressive as it swaps his personality.

This twisted mirror-version comes charging back through the waterfall, knocking Norbert and Montana aside, but thankfully is back to normal.

Unfortunately that path was also a dead-end.

Jerry sits on the wooden chair, causing fire to erupt out of it. Because of course.

At this point everyone in the room is badly injured and growing increasingly annoyed that every single thing is trying to kill them. Jerry lights some candles and is shocked that nothing bad happens.

Montana convinces Snigbat to ride Piggy through the other light-waterfall (that appeared in the tunnel they came through), since he technically survived the other trip.

Snigbat charges through, and finds himself back in an earlier room of the dungeon, with hidden walls and multiple buttons.

Professor Von Wrinkle uses his wand of secrets to locate a secret door. Another pew lights up.

We should have read the fine print on the wand: it locates secret doors AND traps. Sure enough, the pew is full of glass vials that shatter, unleashing a poison cloud.

Ms. Plissken’s immunity to poison helps keep her somewhat healthy throughout these traps, but the candles Jerry lit earlier cause the cloud to explode, dealing additional fire damage that downs Norbert, Jerry, and Montana!

If not for Ms. Plissken’s poison immunity, this would have been a near-TPK (Snigbat is technically out of the room).

She strides into the middle of the room, gives us all a withering speech on traps and touching things, then uses Aid to revive us. Thank you, Ms. Plissken!

We still don’t have a way out of here, though Ms. Plissken examines the wall in the lower right and finds a hidden path, with another watery barrier of colorful light. Ugh!

While Snigbat still tries to push buttons and escape his room, Jerry looks over the dead body to see if we missed anything.

Didn’t Ms. Plissken say not to touch anything?

Glass vials hidden in the body break, and Jerry falls unconscious. Montana, still incredibly weakened from before, limps over and feeds him a healing potion. They both avoid Ms. Plissken’s withering glare as they limp back to her.

Now, who’s going to go through THIS teleporting path?
