This is how I envision this encounter :after a hard fight with the derro they once more reach the long stair with the strange inscriptions.At the bottom of the stair, 20 feet above their heads a sign hangs free in the air. The sign says "This is the way to the college of wizards".This is what they see at this point. If there´s a riddle they have to unlock it in some manner, probably by examine it closely. If the bard or the cleric Detects Magic they will find a strong aura of magic emanating from the sign. This is where my problems begins, I just can´t find a believable way to make this work.This is what  I´ve been thinking:all around the edges of the sign there´s a very fine text in some magical writing  (Spot DC25) wich demands a read magic check from some of the spell casters to decipher. When he/they succeds,the the text on the sign slowly starts to change: a riddle of some kind appears wich glows faintly in the dark....It´s corny, but this is the only thing I´ve come up with so far. Does it make any sense? What do you think of this idea?Asmo</blockquote>
