It's been a long journey from the Yawning Portal, the infamous tavern in Waterdeep, where you first heard the tale of... <h1>THE TOMB OF HORRORS.</h1> Before you is a low, flat-topped hill which you would estimate to be about 200 yards wide, 300 yards long, and 60 feet high. Only ugly weeds, thorns, and briars grow upon the steep sides and bald top of the mound. There are black rocks upon the top of the hill, and from your vantage point about 200 feet above it on a neighboring hill, you can see that they have been arranged in the shape of a human skull, with piles of rock appearing as eyeholes, a nose hole, and the jagged teeth of a grinning death's head. Once at ground level, you are able to more closely examine the exterior of the mound. All you are able to determine is that the north side of the hill has a crumbling cliff of sand and gravel, about twenty feet high in the middle of the whole. A low stone ledge overhangs this eroded area, and shrubs and bushes obscure it from observation at a distance. If you could find a way to probe the area about ten feet off the ground, you might be able to find an opening. <<linkreplace "Probe east side of the cliff face">>\ You spend about ten minutes poking the crumbling earth around the east end of the cliff face with a spear, until a large chunk gives way and reveals empty space behind it; more digging and you see a corridor leading further into the mound. [[East Entrance|2. East False Entrance Tunnel]] <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "Probe west side of the cliff face">>\ You spend about ten minutes poking at the crumbling earth around the west end of the cliff face with a spear until suddenly your poking dislodges a large portion of earth which was blocking a tunnel that appears to lead further into the mound. [[West Entrance|1. West False Entrance Tunnel]] <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "Probe middle of the cliff face">>\ It takes you about half an hour to probe the area in the middle of the cliff face with your spear. Eventually, it breaks through and reveals an unusual tunnel hidden behind the dried earth. [[Middle Entrance|3. Entrance to the Tomb of Horrors]] <</linkreplace>>

The corridor before you is made of plain stone, roughly worked and mortared, with a 10-foot-high ceiling. The daylight streaming through the entrance illuminates two separate doors at the end of the tunnel. <<linkreplace "Walk Towards Doors">>\ <<if $inventory.includes("Glasses of Investigation")>>\ <<set _roll to random(1, 20) + $wismod + 1>>\ <<else>>\ <<set _roll to random(1, 20) + $wismod>>\ <</if>>\ <<if _roll gte 15>>\ You walk about fifty feet down the tunnel towards the doors when you notice the stones comprising the floor ahead of you are unmortared. Knowing the Tomb's reputation, you surmise this must be the trigger for some sort of trap. You could probably use a set of thieves' tools to keep the stones from shifting and activating the trap. <<linkreplace "Use Thieves' Tools">>\ <<if $inventory.includes("Boots of Dexterity")>>\ <<set _roll to random(1, 20) + $dexmod + 1>>\ <<else>>\ <<set _roll to random(1, 20) + $dexmod>>\ <</if>>\ <<if _roll gte 20>>\ <<set $eastentrancetrap to false>>\ <</if>> The shims secured, it looks safe to continue down the tunnel.\ <</linkreplace>> <</if>> <<linkreplace "Continue down the tunnel">>\ <<if $eastentrancetrap is false>>\ You arrive safely at the far end of the tunnel with the two doors. <<linkreplace "Go Through Left Door">>\ You open the door on the left and discover that it was a false door, with only an impassable brick wall behind it.\ <</linkreplace>> <<linkreplace "Go Through Right Door">>\ You open the door on the right and discover that it was a false door, with only an impassable brick wall behind it.\ <</linkreplace>> <<else>>\ You take a step forwards and the stones shift beneath your feet.

The corridor before you is made of plain stone, roughly worked, and it is dark and full of cobwebs. The ceiling overhead is obscured by strands of webbing. The shafts of daylight coming in from the hole you entered through reveal a pair of oaken doors at the end of the passageway, which appear to open outwards by great iron ring pulls. <<linkreplace "Open Doors">>\ <<if $westentrancectrap isnot false>>\ <<if $inventory.includes("Boots of Dexterity")>>\ <<set _roll to random(1, 20) + $dexmod + 1>>\ <<else>>\ <<set _roll to random(1, 20) + $dexmod>>\ <</if>>\ <<if _roll gte 15>>\ <<if $inventory.includes("Padded Armour")>>\ <<set _bludgeoningdamage to random(5, 50)/4>>\ <<set $pcHP to $pcHP - _bludgeoningdamage>>\ <<elseif $inventory.includes("Ring of Protection")>>\ <<set _bludgeoningdamage to random(5, 50)/2 - 3>>\ <<if _bludgeoningdamage lt 0>>\ <<set _bludgeoningdamage to 0>>\ <</if>>\ <<set $pcHP to $pcHP - _bludgeoningdamage>>\ <<else>>\ <<set _bludgeoningdamage to random(5, 50)/2>>\ <<set $pcHP to $pcHP - _bludgeoningdamage>>\ <</if>>\ <<else>>\ <<if $inventory.includes("Padded Armour")>>\ <<set _bludgeoningdamage to random(5, 50)/2>>\ <<set $pcHP to $pcHP - _bludgeoningdamage>>\ <<elseif $inventory.includes("Ring of Protection")>>\ <<set _bludgeoningdamage to random(5, 50) - 3>>\ <<if _bludgeoningdamage lt 0>>\ <<set _bludgeoningdamage to 0>>\ <</if>>\ <<set $pcHP to $pcHP - _bludgeoningdamage>>\ <<else>>\ <<set _bludgeoningdamage to random(5, 50)>>\ <<set $pcHP to $pcHP - _bludgeoningdamage>>\ <</if>>\ <</if>>\ <<set $westentrancetrap to false>>\ You open the doors, and as soon as you do so you hear the sounds of a mechanism somewhere in the ceiling wake up, triggering pulleys and wheels and suddenly the stones above you give way and fall on top of you. <<if _roll gte 15>>\ Your quick reflexes allow you to dodge out of the way of the brunt of the cave-in, but a few errant pieces of the ceiling still strike you, dealing <<print _bludgeoning damage>> bludgeoning damage.\ <<else>>\ You are caught in the brunt of the cave-in, and take <<print _bludgeoning damage>> bludgeoning damage.\ <</if>>\ <<else>>\ You open the doors, and find that they lead only into a solid stone wall.

Bright, brilliant colors are to be seen everywhere, the stones and pigments undimmed by the passage of decades. The floor of the corridor is a colorful mosaic of stone, with a distinct, winding path of red tiles about two feet wide snaking its way south down the corridor. No stonework can be seen on the walls or the ceiling twenty feet above, for some sort of cement or plaster has been smoothed over all of these surfaces and then illustrated. The scenes show fields with kine grazing, a copse with several wolves in the background, workers of various races and strange human-animal mixtures - pig-human, ape-human, and dog-human - going about various tasks. Certain of the frescoes show rooms of some building - a library filled with many books and scrolls, the door of a torture chamber, and a wizard's work room. There are chairs, windows, boxes, bales, doors, chests, birds, bats, spiders, and all manner of things shown on the walls.

The Arch of Mist]] [[Go towards the green devil face at the south end of the corridor|6. The Face of the Great Green Devil]]

Upon closer examination of the path of red tiles, you notice that there are faint runes written into the tiles. You follow the path from the entrance to where it forks towards the misty archway and the face of the green devil, and find that it reads as follows: "Acererak congratulates you on your powers of observation, so make of this whatever you wish, for you will be mine in the end no matter what! Go back to the tormentor or through the arch, and the second great hall you'll discover. Shun green if you can, but night's good color is for those of great valour. If shades of red stand for blood, the wise will not need sacrifice aught but a loop of magical metal - you're well along your march. Two pits along the way will be found to lead to a fortuitous fall, so check the wall. These keys and those are most important of all, and beware of trembling hands and what will maul. If you find the false you find the true, and into the columned hall you'll come, and there the throne that's key and keyed. You've left and left and found my tomb, and now your souls will die."

The stone archway before you is filled with a veil of thick vapors. The stones on either side of the base and keystone protrude slightly from the stones around them. As you move to within touching distance, the left-hand base stone begins to glow yellow, the right-hand base stone orange, and the keystone seven feet above blue.

The most outstanding feature in this location is actually outstanding! Two jackal-headed human figures are painted so as to appear to be holding a real bronze chest that protrudes from the wall. <<linkreplace "Open the chest">>\ <<if $frescotrap isnot "disarmed">>\ <<set _consave to random(1, 20) + $conmod>>\ <<if $inventory.includes("Plate Armour")>>\ <<set _piercingdamage to 0>>\ <<set _poisondamage to random(2, 20)>>\ <<if _consave gte 15>>\ <<set $pcHP to $pcHP - _poisondamage>>\ <<else>>\ <<set $pcHP to $pcHP - 2*_poisondamage>>\ <</if>> <<elseif $inventory.includes("Ring of Protection")>>\ <<set _piercingdamage to 0>>\ <<set _poisondamage to random(2, 20)-3>>\ <<if _consave gte 15>>\ <<set $pcHP to $pcHP - _poisondamage>>\ <<else>>\ <<set $pcHP to $pcHP - 2*_poisondamage>>\ <</if>> <<else>>\ <<set _piercingdamage to 1>>\ <<set _poisondamage to random(2, 20)>>\ <<if _consave gte 15>>\ <<set $pcHP to $pcHP - _poisondamage>>\ <<else>>\ <<set $pcHP to $pcHP - 2*_poisondamage>>\ <</if>> <</if>>\ You go to open the chest, but recoil in pain as you prock your finger on a needle trap extruding three inches from the catch.

The thick wooden door ahead of you is heavily bound with iron bands, and there are several locks keeping it shut.

All of the walls are lined with shelves, and upon these are old jars filled with dust and impotent ingredients of all sorts. There is a large desk and stool, two workbenches, and two mummy preparation tables. Clay pots and urns on these tables once obviously contained unguents, ointments, oils, perfumes and the like. Linen wrappings are in rolls or strewn about. Dried herbs of unidentifiable nature, bones, and skulls litter the workbenches.

A ten-foot-deep, empty pit completely fills the passageway and extends so far as to make jumping across it impossible for most creatures. [[Go through concealed door on north side of the corridor|21. The Agitated Chamber]]

The room appears to be filled with funerary offerings and furniture. There are four rotting sofas, a couple of throne-like chairs, and a jumble of stands, small tables, and vases and urns that are dented, chipped, and broken. Only the rather plain tapestries hanging on the east and west walls appear to have been spared a rough looting. Amid the general havoc are scattered several trunks and a large number of coffers.

The walls of the area ahead are untarnished and gleaming copper panels set between rare woods inlaid with ivory. The ceiling is silver, formed so as to reflect and amplify light brought into the place. The chamber widens to the south, where a set of gently sloping steps leads upwards.

This imposing chamber has a silvered ceiling, just as the foyer has, so it is brightly illuminated by reflected light. The walls are of ivory with gold inlaid. The floor is polished agate. In each corner stands a statue of black iron, easily nine feet tall. That to the northeast stands with a saw-toothed two-handed sword raised to strike; that to the northwest a huge, spike-ended mace; to the south-east the sculpture holds a wickedly spike morning star, and the one in the southwest has a voulge. Near the centre of the room is a large bronze urn filigreed in gold. A thin stream of smoke issues from a tiny vent in its brass stopper. On the southern wall stands a granite sarcophagus that appears to be damaged. Flanking the sarcophagus are two large iron chests. ACTIONS: Attempt to move the statues. Requires combined strength of 48, and moving the statue in the northwest corner reveals a ring pull which can be used to gain access to the western corridor [Go through the western corridor|32.

All chests are triple-locked, and each lock contains a poison needle trap ('sample traps'in chapter 5 of DM's guide) which deals 1 piercing damage and delivers a dose of purple worm poison ('sample poisons' in chapter 8 of the DM's guide). The treasure inside them appears valuable, but upon leaving the tomb is revealed to have been an illusion and is basically worthless

From the intersection, you turn left and left again and find yourself in a room about ten feet wide by thirty feet long, with worn erosion marks in the stone around where it meets the corridor. To the south, you see a set of double-doors. [[Go through doors|21A. Crossroads]] [[Retrace steps down the corridor|32. Secret Door]]

From the foyer with the multicoloured steps, you continue a short ways down a corridor before turning west, where a T-junction intersects with a wider corridor.

You realise that the door must be phasing in and out of existence, only appearing on this plane when approached from a certain direction.

The Tomb of Horrors is infamous amongst Dungeons and Dragons players for being an unforgiving dungeon filled with traps and puzzles with minimal combat. The campaign was originally written by Gary Gygax, co-creator of Dungeons and Dragons, for his home campaign back in the first edition of the game and published in 1978. This Twine game is a translation of the version of the Tomb of Horrors adventure as updated for the fifth edition of Dungeons and Dragons in the 'Tales from the Yawning Portal' source book. While this game aims to be as faithful a translation of the source material as possible, due to the constraints of Twine and the deadline of this project, some adjustments have been made. The player's abilities have been adjusted to account for the fact that they do not have a party to support them, and some actions have been omitted due to the absence of a live dungeon master to keep track of things like initiative or NPCs.

On and around it are an abundance of items. Resting on one end of it is a human skull.

Where its teeth should be, there are instead six pointed marquis-cut diamonds, each worth about 5,000 GP. Next to the skull is a carton made of flimsy wood containing several bottles full of different potions, a box full of scrolls, a sack overflowing with small gems with several larger gems on the desk next to it, several weapons that emanate with magical potential arranged in a display, and a variety of adventurer's gear piled haphazardly in the corner. <<linkreplace "Take the skull">>\ <<set _soultrap to random(1, 20) + $charmod>>\ <<if _soultrap gte 19>>\ <<if $inventory.includes("Ring of Protection")>>\ <<set _damage to random(7, 42) - 3>>\ <<if $pcHP - _damage is lte 0>>\ <<goto "33B.
