Three stone steps lead you to a platform. There is a sheet of stiff paper laying on the floor in the center of the platform. From here, you can see several tiles on the floor with large letters engraved and painted on them.
Written on the paper
I’m in trouble but not in the light. I dwell in darkness but not in spite. What am I?
The Solution
One of the players needs to stand on the tile with the R on it. Once a character ends their turn movement on the R tile, the event ends and the doors crumble to sand.
The Complications
Ayo Jabe (Tier 3) is standing on the top of the stone pillar (area on map marked 26) in the southern part of this room which stands 20 feet high. The ceiling is 30 feet high. She is using her bow to shoot down on the party and will continue to do so until the party kills her or ends the event.
If a character ends their turn on any other tile it will set off a trap.
Hail of Needles
+20 ranged attack, 2d4 piercing damage, Investigate DC 22 to find the trap, Engineering DC 22 to disable the trap.
XP Earned if successful with the puzzle: 3,900
XP earn if Ayo is killed: 3,900
The door crumbling away revealed a small closet that contains a chest. Written on that chest is "select a single item as your reward". Inside you find 3 vials.
Inside the chest:
Potion of Climbing,
Potion of Comprehension and
Potion of Watchful Rest
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.
