- Type: Elemental puzzle
- Location: A temple
- Difficulty: Easy
Background:
You are a group of adventurers who have been hired to retrieve a magical windfan from a remote mountain temple. To get to the fan, you must navigate a series of puzzles and traps designed to keep intruders out.
The Puzzle:
As you make your way through the temple, you come across a room with a locked door and a series of fans hanging from the ceiling. There is a riddle inscribed on the door: “To unlock this door, you must use the fans to create a gust of wind strong enough to blow out the candle on the other side of the room. The clues can be found in the different directions of the wind.”
Solution:
To solve this puzzle, you must use your knowledge of wind and air flow to determine the correct arrangement of the fans. One possible solution is to place the fans in such a way that they create a strong, focused gust of wind that can blow out the candle.
Players should try out combining air flows of different fans. The air flows are visible. And you can draw out different area of effects that can be combined into stronger areas of effect.
Once you have created a strong enough gust of wind, the door will unlock and you will be able to continue your journey through the temple.
Alternatively you could charge the players to create a gust of wind strong enough to carry a kite over a cliff. And the kite might even be large enough to carry the party.
