In the Eye of the All Father, chapter 4, room 6; there is the following statement.
The group is very gish oriented. They all have some magic, but nothing close to the polymorph spells yet. Harshnag could activate one of the runes for them. Do I make them leave, travel to a city, purchase 5 scrolls of polymorph, and then travel back to be able to pass this? Should I make them do deception checks to 'fool' the portal. I'm kinda at a loss. I feel like this should be a hard challenge to question the mighty oracle. But I don't want it to just be an annoyance.
How would you handle this?
To activate the portal, a giant of the hill, stone, frost, fire, cloud, or storm variety (or a creature polymorphed into one of these forms) must take a weapon from one of the statues of the six lesser giant gods and touch it to the appropriate rune on the archway.
