You can't be that terse and have slapshdash editing with any expectation that there won't need to be fill in. Anything you do is undoubtedly in the spirit of the original. I kinda figured it was a constant barrage of darts throughout the whole room. Holes opening and closing in the walls triggering Trypophobia as well as flights of darts.<br /><br />It's odd of course, because so much of the idea behind the convention/competitive modules that Tomb of Horrors gave rise to is trying to create identical adventure experiences - hence the boxed text, the picture books and specific points for specific actions(always make those halflings invisible!) I find the impossibility of this obvious, but it's always sort of necessary for trap dungeons as well.

The party would try to rush through to not get shot at and end up getting to the false door and then having to go back. likely getting shot at 10 or so times.
