A commistion i was doing for a teacher of mine. A girl and her faithful companion try to solve the huge Labyrinth.
When i was doing the background for this pick i was thinking of the old movie "Labyrinth" because david bowie is awsome! XD I really liked that movie.

Nope..Before that,He was a Thief that kept stealing from the party & opening locked doors b4 the party was ready....He met his end by opening the door to a Hydra's Holding Cell...It slammed them off the hinges,pinning him....And then it stepped on the door...We didn't resurrect him...
I've heard of the C*ck of VECNA....What's this Head story..?
I've heard of the C*ck of VECNA....What's this Head story..?
XD Omg, it's hilarious. Okay, I assume you know about the hand and eye of Vecna? Major artifacts that bestow crazy powers when you replace your own parts with them?
Well, there was this one campaign this guy was running, and he ran with two opposing parties. Let's call them team 1 and team 2. So team one has this great idea, right? They hear about the hand and eye of Vecna, and decide to make a false powerless artifact called the HEAD of Vecna. They don't tell the party's druid about this plan, however, because they don't want him to get captured by the other team and reveal it.
So, they go to the local graveyard and disinter a random body, then cut off the head and re-bury it. They stick the head in some old abandoned ruins and put up some crappy traps around it to give the illusion of something worth taking being hidden there. Then they payed off a bunch of local bards to sing and tell stories about the fake head.
Well, the plan kinda backfired. The party's druid heard the bard tales on accident and went questing for the head, thinking it could get them a huge advantage. So, after springing every trap in the place, he got to the head, but the DM figured it was okay because there was no way he could cut off his own head.
Wrong. XD Summon nature's ally, anyone?
So the rest of the party goes to check up on the head, and find the druid's body right in front of the pedestal with the head laying on the floor. At this point, they do a cumulative facepalm for two reasons:
1- They aren't high enough level where they have access to ressurection magic.
2- They forgot to take out the head's left eye.
So after fixing the second error and disposing of the druid's body ('returning it back to nature'), they reset all the traps and replaced the head.
Team 2, by this point, had heard all about the head and decided it would surely be the key to their victory over team 1. So THEY go questing for the damn thing, and eventually find the ruins after much trial and tribulation. They get through the traps that they believe are terribly cunning and deadly (one of them having almost failed his save against the weakest poison in the game), and finally find the head...
...And then procede to get into fistfights over who is going to have THEIR head chopped off!
So they eventually decide on a guy and cut off his head... and then start arguing again. XD After they resolve the fight, they put the (meaningless) head on the guy's body, and surprize surprize, nothing happens. So what do they decide? They didn't put the head on quick enough because they were arguing. So what do they do? Immediately cut off the head of the runner up and rush to put the head on the bleeding stump. Shockingly, nothing happened again.
...By this time, the DM was on the floor and they had figured out it was a hoax. Needless to say, team 1 won.

*Oh my - I ran with two different dudes with WIS 0 -One at Ft.Benning,GA & the Other overseas...Both dumb as a post & both from the SAME STATE...made me wonder what they're feeding kids up there...*
But you make a valid point - The game is structured to accomodate almost any DM...But I got tired of bouncing between "KILLER DMs" & the "Monty Hauls"...!

Heeeheeh...Reminds me of one the Best DMs I've Met...When I got to Germany,I was a little wary of getting into another group immediately,so I just hung on the fringes,maybe play a quick game or two,but nothing long-term,seeing who were the competent & who weren't..I'd heard about a Dude who Gamed off-post on the weekends and All was nothing praise of his DM skills but, I came to observe how things went....My ride has been filling my ears with how cool & clever his dungeons are,how even his orcs and kobolds are smart,how detailed his city,country and characters were...I was feeling good about getting into his campaign - Until I opened the front door & heard from down the Hall:"YOU'RE ALL DEAD,End of Adventure"!
"But,"said player one,"I made my saving throw..!"
"Then you only take a THOUSAND points of damage..!"said the Dm."Plus make one vs.getting crushed under the rubble of the Castle."
Okay,I thought, ANOTHER killer Dm...!
But once He explained His campaign world: A pleasure planet in a galatic empire that got too big & was fractured by internal conflict and alien enemies...The planet was left forgotten & and over the generations,the deversions & attractions evolved into the races and monsters...Occasionally ancient Tech(artifacts) are discovered & there's a battle to aquire it...So to make it short - The DILITHIUM CRYSTAL in a spell-locked chest shouldn't be opened by lightning bolt!
