So my players made it to Eye of the All-Father. Figured out the rune puzzle pretty quickly, and opened the gate on the first attempt. Great.
While they were debating what to do next (I have very cautious players who don’t “see room, enter room”) one of the players asked Harshnag to try another weapon to rune combo. So my question is, would you have it trigger the associated trap? Or say that the runes are inactive once the gateway is open?
In the moment I went with “runes still active” and summoned Earth Elementals partially because I want to show there are consequences to being TOO cautious when they could have just gone through the door, and partially because it was just where my head went in game. But I’m curious how others would have handled!
