Death by four dozen enemies swarming you because someone in the room rolled a lousy skill check is a prime example of letting complete success or total failure ride on just a die roll. You might even consider having the aboleth rotate the cogs for the party, either because it’s the happy friendly aboleth and it wants to help, or because it’s the ancient hateful aboleth and it has alien motivations we don’t need to understand.
This, too, is problematic, because while you’re trying to figure all of this out, the whole room is rotating and everyone is being thrown around and bashed against the walls, which are springing out spikes, and sending out knock-out gas, and spewing sparks that make everyone go blind, and gushing out flammable vapors that fill the whole rotating mess with roaring flames. The fix here is to make the three locks exposed and obvious, so that the players know that they need to get the door open in order to escape, instead of wasting time doing other things.

If you have experienced players with powerful characters, or a larger-than-normal party, it’s probably better not to plan on reducing the difficulty. He’s the guy with the Ring of Winter, and I placed him in the yuan-ti prison along with the party (who made a pretty decent attempt at infiltrating the temple complex but eventually fell prey to bad luck and an insufficient grasp of yuan-ti culture).
Of course, when you pull the drape off, there isn’t a beholder under there at all… instead there’s a magnetic ball of iron that pulls in all metal weapons and ammunition, and also any creatures wearing armor with metal in it, and all of this stuff sticks to the iron ball and can’t be pulled loose. This is one of those traps that doesn’t really have a good solution except to stay away from it. First, it meant the party did not go blindly into the worst dangers.
The skulls – in correct order – were: The skulls are "activated" by being touched by an undead creature, by a creature with the Death Curse, by a creature marked by the Devourer, or by a character using Channel Divinity to Turn Undead or Control Undead. The tentacles are another thing to consider, and the instructions on how they can be used are not entirely clear.

A place to discuss the latest version of Dungeons and Dragons, the fifth edition, known during the playtest as D&D Next.

Ras Nsi didn't want anyone save his undead or necromancers serving him from entering. Well, the party has finally collected all ten of those crystal eyes that are scattered all over this level of the tomb, and now you can open up the door that lets you into the secret vault with the invisible beholder that kills you. (Combining rainbow light makes white light, so combining the rainbow keys makes the correct white key.).
Then decide which one of those players you’d most prefer to punch you in the stomach when they find out, because you’ll have deserved it as much as I did all those years ago running Tomb of Horrors. So long as the light illuminates the cube, it weighs 20 pounds and any creature that moves the cube takes 5 psychic damage for each foot the cube moves. Yep, that’s right: cheat, and keep the adventure on track.
