DO NOT DISTURB THE CHILDREN. The vaulted ceiling of the chamber is
painted as a blue sky with clouds and a bright sun, though there are
many cracks in the plaster which drip brown water. Despite there
being no apparent source for it, harsh white light permeates the
room. More than a dozen adorable children frolic in the place,
though their singsong voices sound like they are coming from far
away. A large sign on one wall reads "DO NOT DISTURB THE
CHILDREN".
Adventurers
who stare at a child too long will suddenly experience a flash of
terrible insight as the illusion on the child fades a way for a split
second before returning. They will see a child-sized doughy pale
humanoid form with only a gaping circular leech-like mouth with razor
sharp teeth in the otherwise featureless face. Creatures able to see
through illusions will be able to see the real forms of the children
as well. Should they be touched,
they will take on their true forms and all converge to attack the
offender(s), ignoring other people unless they also touch or attack a
child.

As
long as no children are touched, the adventurers may pass through the
room in peace. Children will not respond if talked to, but if an
adventurer jumps in front of them on purpose and causes a collision it
is the same as touching them.
