TOPIC: 2015 - Riddle Reveal Posted?

Has the 2015 Riddle Reveal for Sable Gauntlet been posted yet? I'm curious as to the solution for the spider web saying, the EXIT puzzle, and the skull puzzle.

i can't speak for the exit since my team failed that one...

Spoiler below...






the solution for the web- the wall said you had to see as the spider sees, so if you look from above, there were letters on the web on the ground and on the web above the players.... if you drop down the letters and read them starting with the marked E rotating outwards in a clockwise direction it read "Eject 1 from circle to touch lust demon six times"

so everyone except 1 player must stand on the webs and the one outside the web touches the succubus 6 times...


the final room puzzle, had ten skulls around a pool and five of the skulls had to be turned. the pool contained the icecrag dwarves and they are able to give a clue to help the adventurers. they showed several items and each one had a clue to a skull to turn. "bONE" "TOWer" "caNINE" "mitTEN" and uh.... sorry but i can't remember off the top of my head what the final clue was. once the correct skulls were turned around, the dwarves were freed...

***Spoiler***


The final one was a sack of FlOUR, for 4th skull.

Spider Web Puzzle - starting from the center, spiraling out - REJECT I (one) FROM CIRCLE TO TOUCH LUST DEMON VI (six) times! - 9 members of the party must be within the web, 10th member had to touch the succubus on the wall (she devil) 6 times.

EXIT Puzzle - Sort the blocks by color then use them to spell exit with the NEGATIVE spaces. Blue blocked out E, Red the X (a pixelated X, which is what threw off most groups I think), Green was the I, and Orange was the T (I might have the colors off on the last two, but you get the idea, I hope).

Skull Puzzle - each of the items that floated to the top of the pool contained the number of the skull you needed to face inward:
bONE = ONE
TOWer shield = TWO
FlOUR = FOUR
caNINE shield = NINE
mitTEN = TEN

With the groups I ran with it was the tower shield that threw everyone off - because it could have also been a castle or a rook, and it was the only one that wasn't spelled out in the word left to right (ONE, FOUR, NINE, and TEN).

"Eject from the circle one to touch the lust demon VI (6) times!" is what the web puzzle says (I may have missed a word, sorry.)

Everyone has to stand inside the web, except the person who has to touch the succubus picture 6 times. The rogue clue helped a lot, as I recall.

The skull puzzle is also aided by the rogue's clue. The items that appear in the pool are the clues to what skull #s are needed. Bone - one, shield w/picture of a canine - nine, flour - four, and I cannot recall the other 2. One other # was 10.

The exit puzzle took our group a few. The rogue clue told us that the same color blocks were each a different letter. They needed to be arranged on the table to spell EXIT. The trick was, the blocks formed the 'negative' space in the letters, the four red pieces made the X, the blue pieces formed the E, etc.

Sorry I couldn't recall all the details, my puzzle run was Friday. We had a great group, managing to get through (normal difficulty) the whole run without a death. The last room we solved with a few minutes to spare.

Had a blast!

Puzzle – Into the Underdark

Elevator Room

Briefly place the crystal in the receptacles in order to restart the elevator.

Put a person at each wall segment and have them remember the numbers of their two receptacles. Have one person count 1 to 20 and have each person with the correct receptacle meet the last person in the middle to get the crystal.

Lava Room

The Drow Assassin was the FIRST to cross and looking closely you could see a footprint on the T

The Next person to cross, even if they failed the DM would announce that the SECOND person had crossed.

You needed to have each person spell their order number backwards. So if you failed once then the third person would go to stones D-R-I-H-T in order. Then H-T-R-O-F (forth) etc. until you reach N-E-T. At that point the stones reset and you have to go back to T-S-R-I-F (first) because at ten you only have nine people across. The Drow was First.

Web Room

Letters were both above and below. When looked at from the top the entire statement said:

EJECT I FROM CIRCLE TOUCH LUST DEMON VI TIMES!

As has already been said, everyone but one person had to stand in the circle whole one person touched the succubus 6 times. The clue was that the Roman numeral VI was used to give you a hint that it was not I but 1.

Mushrooms

Every mushroom but one would get the sex and/or the mood wrong. The correct mushroom got the sex of who it was talking about correct. It also did not even say a mood so that might have been a clue also.

A thought I just had: the elevator symbols were all Bard sigils, right? Did they spell anything?

The logic we used for the mushrooms required the rogue clue. We intepreted that clue as specifying 1 of 3 specified colors had to be the correct. Of those 3, only 1 specified eating a mushroom in the group and it said 'eat me' basically. This was puzzle side.

When I did the combat side later in the day the shrooms weren't saying the same thing and the logic didn't work that way.

They were all Bard symbols but I have no idea if they spelled anything. Great thought though. It would be interesting to find out if anyone at TD thought of that.

It did have a mood, the blue one described his jovial pink sister - I remember clearly because I spent a couple of rounds trying to determine if she sounded jovial or not. I didn't realize at the time just getting the sex right meant he was telling the truth.

I think the mushroom puzzle changed at least once, but not 100%. Once you got the Rogue clue, it narrowed it down to red, white, and blue. If you listened to all of them, you could eliminate any mushroom that didn't mention those colors and then use elimination.
