Wing Ting Mai 009

 

 

All Days

WTM 009

(Security Post) About a quarter of a mile along the tunnel you notice that there are engravings on the floor thirty feet ahead.

(Reading the engravings) The writing appear to have been put into the floor like a finger into wet sand. There are no chisel marks or scratches to be seen. It says "Who do you serve?".

There are two messages back to back, so it reads the same from both directions.
The correct answer is "I/We serve Wing Ting Mai.".
The trap:
Ten feet of floor on each side of the message will have the glue spell neutralised if the wrong or no answer is given.
All those in the area sink at two feet per round. Strength of 17 allows movement of 5 feet per round. Once at the edge a person can pull themselves out.
A person can be pulled out by others outside if the total strength of the others exceeds 30.
Once underneath a person has "Con" segments to be pulled out or drown.
After twenty rounds the sand hardens and anyone in it is dead.
It is twenty feet deep.
The messages and area of the trap does radiate magic.

South end of tunnel.

North end of tunnel. In tunnel more than eight hours.
