Line 59:
* [[Self-Imposed Challenge]]: The very act of attempting to play this thing ''at all''.
* [[Spikes of Doom]]: All over the place. Also, they're all poisoned. [[It Got Worse|And some of them fire up at you]].
* [[Super Prototype]]: Acererak is sort of a meta-example. He was the first demilich to appear in the game as whole, the module introducing the concept, and remains one of the most nefarious villains in D&D.
* [[The Woobie]]: The Siren in the original version of the Tomb of Horrors. Trapped inside the tomb as an personal joke by Acererak. She is cursed so she can't leave the cavern she is trapped in, and neither can she say how to lift the curse, she can only hope the players ''ask her to join them'' to lift her curse. Of course, most players would suspect the Siren to be just one of many traps, a [[Schmuck Bait]], just a [[Fantastic Racism|monster]], or simply take one of the bags of holding resting beside her, resulting in her being erased from existence. Of course, saving her would make her [[Crowning Moment of Heartwarming|the players' friend for life.]]
* [[Things Mr. Welch Is No Longer Allowed to Do In An RPG]]: The author has had lots of experience with this module. Both beating it and avoiding it.
