[QUOTE="Psychic Warrior, post: 2621552, member: 17733"] Last night the group I play in finished the Challenge of Champions V from Dungeon 108. I have played and/or ran most of this series and always thought the senarios were fair and in keeping with the fantasy theme. Not so number 5 however. The final puzzle has the party with 11 discs numbered 0 to 9 with an extra '1'. Our challenge is to place the discs in the correct order to open the door leading out of the room. The door is guarded by the spirit of Sheela the She-Goblin, a vain creature whose name you have to speak as you place the last discs. There are 3 rows of indendations to place the discs in 4 slots on the top row, 3 slots on the middle row and 4 slots again on the bottom row. We aren't given any more information about how to arrange the discs and are told failure results in 'death' (disqualification from the round). After 10 frustrating minutes (we are onyl allowed 15) and 2 out of 4 people eliminated we decide to concede (the last 2 players had nothing left ot go on - the 2 'dead' players agreed to concede just to get on with it). The answer? [spoiler] You had to arrange the numbers to represent letters and spell out She-Goblin (yes with a hyphen and the last slot was 'wasted' and represented nothing). In essence 'elite' speak used by MMORPG players (of which none of us are).[/spoiler] We were f**king pissed. What would your reaction have been? [/QUOTE]
