The Sphinx’s Lair

Fonte: 08 Chapter 5- The Cerulean Gulf.md — seção ā€œThe Sphinx’s Lairā€

The sphinx’s lair is at the top of the spiral staircase:

The twisting stair opens into a stone room at the top of the tower. The floor, walls, and ceiling are covered in etched hieroglyphics. A closer look reveals that the markings are roughly made, as if they were scratched into the rock with primitive tools.

A majestic winged lion with the face of a regal woman sits in the center of the room. Behind her, a wide window shows the island below bathed in daylight. Upon seeing you, she demands ā€œWhy have you disturbed my contemplations?ā€

The Lotus Witch (TN Gynosphinx) listens to the party for a while, but eventually, she interrupts and asks the heroes whether they are aware of the history of Thylea. She explains that it is important to know history, or one will be doomed to repeat history’s mistakes. Those who are oblivious to history are no better than infants—and they should be treated as such. She wonders whether the party deserves to be transformed into infants like the former adventurers downstairs—her ā€œchildren.ā€

Epic Paths: The Cursed One

If the Cursed One is present, then the Lotus Witch reveals that their curse originates on the island of Typhon, and only there can the curse be broken. If they can answer her riddles, then she will give them a protective artifact. Refer to the Running the Epic Paths section for details.

The Lotus Witch asks the party four questions about the history of Thylea. Feel free to choose simple questions that you know your party can easily answer. If you need ideas, here are some examples:

  • Who created the Myrmekes race? (Talieus)
  • Who was the first of the Dragonlords? (Xander)
  • Who was the cruelest of the Dragonlords? (Estor)
  • What happened to the City of the Sirens? (It sank.)
  • When Thylea bore fruit, which two Titans sprang from a single pit? (Sydon and Lutheria)

The sphinx will be satisfied if the heroes can answer three of the questions correctly. If this is the case, she will answer any five questions the heroes ask of her: she knows everything there is to know about Thylea and its history. After answering any questions she will send the heroes on their way; they will reappear outside of the tower and will be unable to gain entry ever again.
