[QUOTE="Quickleaf, post: 6740427, member: 20323"] My group of players (3rd level rogue, warlock/monk, paladin/fighter, ranger, sorcerer, druid) have stumbled upon a stonehenge in the woods. This coincides with the introduction of a new druid PC. They're overdue for finding a significant treasure haul, and this seemed a nice place to insert some treasure - particularly spell scrolls for the many casters in the party, since that seems thematically appropriate to druids. I also plan on reusing the stonehenge later as a recurring element. I'd like to create a Druid-themed puzzle for them which allows them to access some kind of spell scrolls (or maybe bonus known spells). I was inspired by this puzzle: [url]http://puzzling.stackexchange.com/questions/2325/find-10-triangles-in-a-five-pointed-star-using-two-straight-lines[/url] which maps well to the stonehenge map we're using (see attached image). I know there's a Druidic inscription around the edge of the stone dais that will have a riddle. I'm sitting down to work out the specifics, and would love any ideas folks have! :) For example... taking this... and turning it into Druid-sounding prose like this... (work-in-progress) [color=orange] Two rays, of sun and moon, joined at dusk, apart at noon, Shine upon this grove and make the blood-marked stone take Hold of the wheel of life, distilling wisdom from the strife. Stone to stone shine the rays, o’er star of the Old Ways, So the pillar from the circle take, strumming trigons in the wake Till from the star are born nine siblings on the path of thorn.[/color] [/QUOTE]
