Tomb of Horror Part 3 - Final Finally!

We had 3 game sessions to run through Tomb of Horrors! I am amazed that the players were able to solve the puzzles and get to the end. And finally destroy the Demilich. Even though he is a badass, with 2 Paladins and some bad ass spell casters, they destroyed him!

Here the party goes into the second to last room! The Sarcophagus is interesting...

Long story long, when the Tales of the Yawning Portal first came out I knew I wanted to run an epic Tomb of Horrors game. But after reading it, as well as reading what people were saying, it became obvious this couldn't necessarily be brought into a long running DnD campaign. There are too many situations where players simply die, with no saving throws or explanations.

So I spent 8+ hours printing out all the DnD WoTC pre-generated characters at level 10, and descriptions of all their loot and spells. Which took a really long time because I wanted to make sure my Pathfinder friends could play. Man! Were they in for a treat! Since in Pathfinder by level 10 you normally have a badass character! But in DnD 5, by level 10 you're still not all that powerful, just have a lot more options when in confrontations.

We had about 6 players die, but when they have the option to immediately pick up another pre-gen, it wasn't that big of a deal.

The party avoided a lot of the gotcha's of the game, but they still got hit by a few, enough of them to have them understand why this isn't a normal dungeon to play through!
