This is Gygax's origenal Tomb of Horrors as it appears in the campain Tomb Raiders (available at this site). It is provided here for those that either cannot find it in the campaign or those that simply want to get straight into this little gem. Enjoy.

I give you a 10 for recreating one of the hardest MODs I have ever played Back in the day. Man that hurt but very well done.

If knock won't get you through, it's not the true entrance. There are three entrances, only one is real. Gygax's original PnP mod was very unforgiving, requiring skill and thinking on the part of characters. He intended the mod to off characters by the dozen. Due to the progression of the game since, this mod is far less deadly. Be glad you are only turned away by a false door.
I'm not sure that it's a problem of lockpicks or no; a knock spell can't get through. =~_^=... Maybe there's a hidden door or something that is yet to be found, but for me, the challenge to the dungeon is /getting in/.
I've gotten farther due to using a rogue with lock picking skills. I suggest you put in the description that you need a rogue unless there's another way to get around the gate. _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them.
Okay, I found the hidden trapdoor that leads to the true entrance, but how do I get past the metal barred gate? _________________________ Steve's Characters - please don't forget to vote on them if you play them.
