Alright, so me and my 1st edition chums had a DnD game after about a two month break and it didn't go so well. We had a good start, killed a group of beserkers and knocked out their leader, brought him to the mayor of the next down(who happens to be a player character) so hopefully this guy will give us a share of the loot from this beserkers lair. Our destination was a dungeon called the Huts which is in the middle of this forest called the forest of blackness where the trees block out all sunlight.
My fellow adventures had the brilliant idea of putting out our lanterns so the one elf in our group could use his infra vision inside the forest. Even when I pointed out that it is better for all of us to be able to see decently rather then one guy seeing a bit better then that as we are all blind they didn't listen. So I kept my lantern lit any they gave in and kept theirs lit. Over the next few days we don't get attacked amazingly since this forest of blackness doubles attack rates and we reach the dungeon.
We had a map of most of the dungeon since we had been here before, but it was then it went down hill. We enter the dungeon, elevator takes us down, a gas that knocks people out comes through holes in the room and we take a nap for a while. Hours later we get up, check our gear and keep going(this happens every time, we are not sure why, and all our devices to counter this have failed so far). We trot along, go to the "treasure room" only to find it filled with copper pieces and six dead bodies.
It was then that the other guys tell me they have been here last game(that I missed) and that a lich currently lives here. After a few smacks on the head for not telling me this and the fact that a group of level 10's(mostly consisiting of the older guys in our group who are in college) almost got killed by this lich and we are just level threes and fours meant that this lich was probally now taking treasure from all parts of the dungeon and collecting it in one big dump that is surrouned by zombies and other ghastly things.
Against my better judgement, and the fact that I want something to happen before the game is over(we have about an hour and a half left) we continue on. We go through some secret door rooms and stupidly we forget to hold the doors open. In this dungeon whenever a door isn't help open it closes, so now we are stuck in between two secret doors that won't open from this side. Worse yet, we don't have a mage since every time we roll a mage they die. We have nothing to open the doors, the cracks that show the door are so small that not even the tips or our daggers can fit in them, and it is stone and we don't have anything that can break it.
So for four in game days we sat there before a wierd old wizard came and rescused us asking for baltimore. We had no idea where that was and made a break for it to the outside of the dungeon since we only had half a day of food left(bought two weeks, traveled a great distance, thought we would have a week surplus of food). So now we go back through the forest, almost get killed by lizard men, and return home with the adventure over and about 100gp in our pockets.
So, does anyone know any way that we could have opened these secret doors? I was thinking that maybe we could get this really sticky thing and stick it to the door and pull but it would have to be extremly sticky if we wanted to pull it open. Would just like to throw in also our only magical gear is about two of our weapons and +1 dragon shield so we don't have all this cool stuff that most worlds have.
Oh, sorry for some mistakes in my writting, I am kind of feeling a bit sick at the moment and lack of sleep isn't helping much.
