Think of Gandalf trying to figure how to open the hidden door while the fighter hacks the lake squid -now the lake squid could be reaching with a tentacle even Gandalf and that the door's glyphs are haunted with spirits that engage Gandalf in a way similar to the movie "Zu Warriors" ([url]http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0286098/[/url]) You are thinking of minis.
