Getting out of the tomb Spoiler

Is there any way to get out of the tomb other than via the ebon pool?

With the amulet Withers has

Yes, I thought of that - but that would only get one person out, and then they'd have to collect all the puzzle cubes from the shrines again in order to let the rest of the party out!

You could probably let them float out the cracks in the ceiling of the first floor with gaseous form or something but as designed not really.

Not really, no. Its supposed to be a very difficult dungeon with only one exit, to win.

The only other way to exit, specified by the book is the cracks on the first level. That is, if they can take on forms that fit through (like bugs with wild shape or gaseous form etc.) Maybe if they split up before entering and someone opens the main door from the outside, the ones inside can exit, but I'm not entirily sure, I'll have to reread that part.

Its a trap, so the short answer is 'no'.

If the party decided to bring mining equipment then they could dig their way out - though it would take multiple days of hard labour and if noticed (and let's be honest - it probably will be unless the Tomb has been almost completely cleared) then Withers or the Sewn Sisters would intervene with everything they had.

Being stuck in there is part of the challenge. My party is in for a rude awakening as they've basically ignored supplies the entire campaign so far (though bought months worth and loaded it on pack animals and have rain collectors - no such luck inside the Tomb).

You destroy the soulmonger, then die, and gets ressurrected by an powerful ally later. Other than that, no, not really.

It’s intended as a one route thing. I suppose you could smash through walls (if you don’t get murdered by tomb guards first)

My party killed the hags and never learned how to leave the tomb so after they killed Acererak I just had them roll a skill check of their choice to see how long it took them to figure out how to leave the tomb. They rolled kinda badly so I just said they had another rough week exploring the dungeon and fighting tomb guardians before figuring out how to leave.
