This large rectangular room has four pillars that stand at the corners of a raised platform that has steps that lead up to the top of the plat form, upon which stands a Mammoth statue. There is a plaque at the base of the stairs. There is a door on the other side of the room that leads to the north.
The plaque reads:
You must feed me to pass. My food is more evil than the lords of hell, but a greater good than the celestials. It is wanted by the rich and had by the poor. If you eat it, you shall die.
if the characters try to feed anything to the
Mammoth, it will come to life and attack. The correct answer to the puzzle is "nothing." The party need only walk past the mammoth and touch the door to the north to have it crumble to reveal their reward. However, the door will still crumble away after the mammoth has been killed, but there will not be a chest.
Written on the top of the chest is "select a single item as your reward." Inside the chest you find: 3 wands
The chest contains:
Wand of Pyrotechnics,
Wand of Conducting and
Wand of Entangle
There is nothing stopping the party from taking all 3 items. However, if they select and take only one as instructed, they will receive one point with the Eladrin. Keep track of the party's score as they go along. At the completion of each challenge, their score will be announced by the ringing of a bell for each point they have earned.
XP Earned if successful with the puzzle: 3,900
XP Earned if the Mammoth is killed: 2,300
