- Type: Logic puzzle
- Location: vampire temple
- Difficulty: Medium
Background:
The party has been hired to investigate an ancient holy temple, where rumors have circulated about a group of vampires that have been captured for eternity. These ancient vampires have information that has been forgotten by mortals. And the players need it to continue on their quest.
As they make their way through the temple, they come across a room filled with mirrors and a single light source.
The Puzzle:
The vampires
In the center of the room, there is a platform with a single, flickering holy candle. The party must use the mirrors to direct the light from the candle onto a series of holy symbols etched into the wall. Having the light touch all 4 symbols will release the vampires from their state of suspended animation.
However, the party must be careful. Right now, the holy light doesn’t touch the vampires because they are shaded by pillars in the room. But if they let the light touch any of the vampires, they will be instantly killed.
Solution:
To solve the puzzle and obtain the information, the party must use the mirrors to reflect the light onto the symbols. Of course, the vampires will still want to bargain for the information.
