Report: Flipping through a book released a magically bound sphinx who focused her attention on the PC who initially opened the book. After asking whether the PC was willful, wily and wise, the sphinx posed her riddle while warning that she would only entertain two wrong answers.
The PC listened to the riddle twice, thought about it for a minute and answered "a secret?" The sphinx responded that it was a clever answer, but the wrong one. Then, after listening to the riddle a third time, some whispering and note passing with the other players, she hazarded her second guess: "a riddle?" The sphinx reared, beat her wings violently and then bowed to the small-sized PC while offering her the cypher book in reward. Then, as she said she would in the riddle, she ceased to be as she returned to the place from whence she was summoned.
So the PCs got it in two. A little bit hard, but still solvable. A success by my measure.
