Example of Play
Referee: As you approach the crypt main entrance, a crude stone slab that seals the burial mound, you (roll 3,12 and look for hazard and hint, result: electric eels pool, water movement) can here a very faint sound of water.
Party: The PCs open the door very carefully and…
Referee: (Roll 5, 7 and look for room, result: Cracked sundial in center, vast, square, 4) Your torches light a vast square room, you can barely notice that on the side walls there are 4 more doors. The floor is flooded, though it seems less than knee-deep. At the center of the room in the center of the pool there's a pedestal. (Roll 1, 3 and look for murals, result: A crow perched upon a skull-strewn field) The walls are decorated with frescos. Endless fields of skulls. On the front wall a stylized shape of a crow.
What do yo do?
Party: PCs enter the room and, after confronting with the electric eels, they search the room.
Referee: (Roll 4, 7 and look for hidden feature, result: false tomb) Under the crow shape you find a loose stone that give you access to a burial alcove.
