[QUOTE="Whisper72, post: 5526941, member: 17339"] Must it be a puzzle, or can it also be more of a challenge. For example: water challenge: you open the door to the room. The room has no visible floor. It is basically a pool. There are no other doors / exits visible. Upon investigation, you notice there is some water creature (elemental?) and upon close inspection, a 'door' is located at the bottom of the pool. The elemental avoids combat and only strikes back when attacked, only to 'flee' into the water once more. When diving into the pool and investigating the door, it appears to be constructed such that it cannot be opened while the water presses on the door. If the party is ingenious/powerful enough, maybe they can think of a way to 'drain' the water, fight the elemental etc. Another method would be to negotiate with the elemental. For a fee (payment in some form, maybe other than cash/magic, a quest may be appropriate), the elemental is willing to control the water such that it is 'walled' away and the party can simply climb into the now largely dry pool and open the door, onto the next 'room'. Something like that also an option? [/QUOTE]
