CRYPTIC GUARDIAN. On the south wall there is a stone door with a
stone wall decoration resembling the head of a ridiculously ugly
goblin or gremlin.
The
face will ask a riddle. If it is answered correctly, it will open
the door. If the wrong answer is given, or if someone tries to break
the door down, it will attack by extending itself on a telescoping
neck.
RIDDLE:
An ogre threw an axe as hard as he could. There was nothing in
front of him and nothing on either side of him, yet the axe came back
and hit him in the face. Why?
ANSWER:
He was lying on his back and threw it straight up.
Stone
Head (AC 4; MV 0”; HD 5; hp 27; #AT 1 bite; D 1-8; SD Immune to
cold, immune to mind affecting spells such as sleep, charm,
hold; MR 50%; XP 300)
The
neck can extend up to 50'. It is stone gray and marked by pulsing
veins. It is also the Stone Head's weakness. A called strike can be
made against the neck (it has AC 2) and if it takes 10 hit points of
damage, it will sunder, leaving the Stone Head on the ground, cursing
eloquently. Defeating the Stone Head will cause the door to open.
