Game Night! Episode 6: The Book That Cannot Be Opened Part1 (Recap part 2)

Long time no post I know, but it seems that finals and holidays are very high-level monsters. The last game was quite some time ago and pictures are going to be uploaded soon. The recap is simple. I bought the collectors set of beholders and thought I need a dungeon for the heroes to go in to that is as old as time and maybe not as advanced as some others. Also I need this to be very different than what they have encountered so far. I made a VERY linear dungeon, no halls, really simple. One room leads to the next. And each room had a puzzle based door and a beholder. The beholder set was perfect! I just made them go up against them one after another. They did really well till the last one and things went south. Actually I SPLIT THE PARTY! The last room was a portal door. That would take you to the room you think of. Not my idea I just lifted it from somewhere and the best part was there were four rooms in this dungeon and they did not know what would happen when they went in to the portal so one player went honey badger style and walked in to the portal. “Roll a D6” I said. On a roll of 1-2 they were told to place their miniature in room one, then on a roll of 3-4 in room 2, and finally on a roll of 5-6 in room 3. They did this for a while till the honey badger style player (who has a pet honey badger) said I want to think of the next room. And suddenly he was face to face with a Beholder Eye Tyrant. Long story short a beholder followed them in to the portal and ended up in room 1. Other players were there and one decided he would attack one of his party members with very little explanation and NO roll playing that could have saved his life. The other players decided they would play their characters as accurately as possible. Unfortunately this meant they would take out the possible threat. (In the past remember the doppelganger in the party Episode 2: All hands point to the seed. pt 3 ) the player was hit for a huge amount of damage bringing him to dying status and he was then beheaded by a player using a executioner's ax.  That was not the end so UNTIL NEXT TIME HEROS!...
