Lair of the Lamb

Advice for Players

• You will spend more time choosing and planning battles than fighting. Running away is often the right choice. The most reliable ways to kill a monster don’t rely on attack rolls.
• Social skills will make your life easier, but reaction rolls won’t do you any good in this adventure where most creatures already have a preordained reaction to you. To be effective you must learn what creatures want (usually by just asking them).
• There are over a dozen secret doors and hidden treasures in this adventure. They range from the obvious to the cryptic. None of these are essential, but they all improve your odds of survival.
• Information is the fuel that powers your exploits. It is a resource that you spend to find secrets, solve puzzles, and sidestep combats. To acquire more information, you must ask more questions about your environment. Try to ask a question in every room.
• Many of the puzzles are solved by recognizing patterns and/or using mundane objects in clever ways. Many puzzles have 3 or more solutions. A shocking amount of problems can be solved with enough rope.
• The rooms in this dungeon are tightly interlinked, and are designed to work in harmony with each other. This includes backtracking, looping, and mapping. Sometimes the solution to a puzzle or a combat can be found in a later room. Encounters are not always best handled in the room where they occur.
• Time is the enemy. Your torches are burning down. You have no food and no water. Every hour brings with the risk of a Random Encounter. And yet, your survival requires you to take the time to investigate all the suspicious phenomena. You must learn to balance these competing needs if you wish to be good at dungeoncrawling.
