When our heroes went exploring the trap and riddle-ridden (!) tomb of some deceased mage, they came upon a revolving door. The knocker of this door would make the door revolve if used and thereby throw the poor knocking person (confusing, isn’t it?) into a dark tunnel in the floor of which was a slide.
They used the knocker one after other, always with one or two rounds of waiting and pondering (why did the last one scream?) in between. The all slid down in complete darkness, got cut by several small blades sticking out from the slide.
The first one of our heroes ended up in a dark chamber with a relatively soft landing on a sort of a crawling floor: a chamber filled with bugs (Indiana Jones style). He immediately got out of the way as he assumed that the rest would follow the same path as he did. And he was right. In the light of a spell he saw the healer of the party leaving the slide through a hole in the ceiling of the room, landing in the bugs on the floor. (We all know what is coming next, don’t we?)
The healer, however, is not a quick thinking bloke. So he got up, brushed the bugs of his clothing … and turning back towards the hole in the ceiling was just able to perceive the iron nailed boots of the fighter coming through it before he hit him in the face. Flung around with quite an amount of damage the healer tumbled against the wall, getting swarmed by bugs again. [People begin to snigger.]
Tumbling backwards from the wall in to the room again, he got hit again: this time by the ranger of the party. [A full blown giggle by now.]
Crushing against the wall once more he broke his nose and got a couple more hits when he turned into the room again and got hit for the last time by the overweight plate-mail wearing dwarven fighter of the party.
Getting knocked off his feet by the immense impact, the healer finds himself barely conscious lying on the floor swarmed by bugs. [Roaring laughter.]
Slapstick is so cool! (When it’s not happening to you!!)
