Barrow of the Forgotten King - Turn Results 17

Clint searches the doorway for traps. The rouge does not find anything out of order and proceeds cautiously to the large eye in the center of the room. He checks the area around the eye for traps and again finds nothing of concern.

He determines from his examinations that the room is some sort of puzzle modeled after a beholder and its eyes. The center room represents its body and central eye while the outer chambers represent the eye stalks. He remembers that the central eye is supposed to Dispel Magic but does not remember what any of the rest are supposed to do. He waves the rest of the group into the room.


Banjo casts Detect Magic and scans the room. While he detects magic auras, it is not very helpful as the whole room radiates magic of various schools.

Thurstan and Banjo discuss the symbols and believe that they match the eye stalks of a beholder. They believe that they have figured out nine of the ten. Only the sprawled man escapes their recall.


A bent-over man = Slow
A sprawled man = ???
A rigid man = Flesh to Stone
A running man = Fear
A levitating man = Telekinesis
Men shaking hands = Charm Person
A disappearing man struck by a ray = Disintegrate
A sleeping man = Sleep
A man with arms raised = Charm Monster
A bleeding man = Inflict Moderate Wounds.

  1. Torvald says, "Maybe the sprawled man is dead or frozen? Maybe the last eye stalk was a death spell or a cold spell?"

    >Did I miss part of the description here? Are the pictures in the three corners of the room inscribed on the floor, are they statues or are they bodies of some sort?<

    Torvald detects evil in the room.

  2. The room has not been completely explored. Clint has only examined the central eye. It is engraved in the floor. The other images have not been examined to determine that level of detail.

    No evil is detected.
