Não encontrei uma fonte que rastreou o Robilar progredindo sala por sala através do Tomb of Horrors , mas de acordo com os Dragonsfoot fórum discussão :
Em outras palavras, parece que Robilar levou com ele lacaios orcs para ativar as numerosas armadilhas da tumba, e ele teve o cuidado de deixar algo imperturbado e suspeito, tal como um assustador crânio de joia.Robilar losing all of his orc flunkies at the onset, in the initial passage. When he found the tomb of the demi-lich Robilar scooped all the magical treasures he could into his bag of holding and ran off leaving the demi-lich hanging. [sic]
Conta do próprio Robilar
Em seu site "Campanha de RPG original do Lake Geneva" autor e designer de jogos Rob Kuntz , jogador de Robilar, foi convidado pelo usuário Teststen S. sobre as aventuras de Robilar no túmulo. Kuntz teve a gentileza de responder nos comentários do site, dizendo primeiro que
I [Robilar] was careful and proceeded slowly; when I came upon the demi-lich I merely hefted the nearby treasure and ran out of the room, which seemed to perplex Gary. I'm not so sure of what more to tell as it happened very long ago, so the main points must suffice.…
Então, em outro comentário, Kuntz oferece mais alguns detalhes, dizendo
Gary called me and said he had a new level to playtest. We used to playtest these between us upon one of us finishing a level. Both of us always suspected the worst, as we had always thrown big curves at each other and our players over a year's worth of solid day-to-day playtests and play.
Five of the five orcs died at the entrance, one whom Robilar dispatched because it refused my order to advance into the entry corridor, the other four from the pits within said corridor.
I don't recall using this stratagem before; it's a left-over tactic from wargaming days.
The rest of it is vague. This was an initial playtest, so Gary may have changed parts for the final published form….
Kuntz conclui em outro comentário:
I do recall the face [that] I probed with a pole, the latter which came up an inch or two short afterwards. That and the pits… let me know that this was a trapped based adventure. Thus I slowed all processes of exploration accordingly—i.e., I was doubly suspicious of everything.
... Como qualquer um deveria estar ao explorar o Túmulo dos Horrores!
