This is the first time I've used a riddle (or any mental challenge for that matter) in the campaign and I really want it to work and not have my players get stuck with it or walk over it too easily. The party's level 3 at the moment and will probably be 4 or 5 when they encounter the old man. I plan on them being lost or stuck in a dungeon/cave and have the old man show them the way out and give the riddle before he mysteriously vanishes. The fact that the party will be relatively low-level and the lack of a good diviner kinda eliminates the problem of them asking outsiders for help. For those of you who'd like to see the map:<a href="http://home.iae.nl/users/eggen1/daan/TDS/Illirionmap.doc" target="_blank">Campaign map: Illirion</a>(it's a .doc file)(yes, my nickname is also the name of the campaign region)Some things are in dutch, but other names are made up fantasy as well. The location we're talking about is number 5.@spider: I don't think I'll be hiring QuestGuard(tm) after that <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> .</blockquote>
