    The dwarven lockpick (Adamantium hammer) is an adventuring staple for a reason; its fun and empowering to pick locks barbarian style.

    i mean, if i was the referee, and they weren’t in that architecturally precarious situation, i’d think that’s a mighty fine solution to the puzzle, actually.

      No, no, TTRPGs are all about solving the DM’s convoluted logic and linguistics puzzles that don’t make sense inside the world and have exactly one solution. Not about creative problem solving /s

      It was sealed with magic (I had detect magic going) and no handles, locks or visible seals

        Look, I get it, it’s embarrassing to try and pull a push door. It doesn’t mean it’s witchcraft. Just try pushing!

          So the door itself had a sorta embossing design of an incomplete web. You would have to complete the webbing but there is a trap part that, if connected, triggers active, offensive traps. With a good investigation roll, my arcana and a Web spell from the rogue’s cloak, we did the puzzle and the door opened itself

    The worst one would be a petrified tree. They’re a massive cylinder that looks like the roof of the cave, and then it falls loose and smashes you.

      The cylinder cannot be harmed in any way

    Aren’t stalactites made of soft material?

    Just pickaxe your way beside the door. Heck, an axe may work if you don’t mind destroying it in the process.

    If you have spell for creating water somehow, use Roman technique of making a campfire against wall, letting it warm up and the splashi g it with water to crack it.

    There’s so many ways to be a menace to DM xD

      We don’t exactly have a lot of time for that though because a war is on
