Room16
The room they enter is triangular in shape and the walls slope upward to meet in a point far above their heads.
The walls are made of a gritty yellow stone and the floor is entirely covered by sand.
In one wall stands a green door, in the second a white door and in the final wall, a black door offers passage.
In the center of the room, a pair of mirrors offer alternate realities.
In the black mirror a monster crouches. It has the body of a lion and the head of a man. It snarls and swipes massive paws at the companions as they circle it with weapons drawn.
In the white mirror, the same monster lies passively on the sand and appears to be speaking to them.
“Is that a sphinx?” Lamia looks up at Jora as if he would know.
“Beats me. I like the stories of warriors but never paid attention to which monster was which.”
“Yeah,” Conrad says. “Reading is boring. I never understood half the stories I was forced to read by the priests.”
What choice should the adventurers make?
