Expecting a trap to be there, Errich can easily make out the pressure trigger under the tile and disable it.

"Good job, Errich!" Dante says as Errich disable the trap. But a trace of annoyance tinges Dante's words as he continues, "Really, those kobolds could have at least given us a heads up about the trap. I don't think they like us very much."

"Good job indeed lad!" Wugruk said giving Errich a hardy slap on the back. "But was that an act of aggression, or was the one Kobold left behind to show us how to jump over?"

The threshold to this chamber reveals a long room. Two stone statues of priests stand in the corners along one side of the room, facing a towering statue of a man holding out both of his hands, palms up. In front of this statue is a stone altar holding nine golden coins. A voice booms out from the statue."In my hands I judge the value of all wealth, raising up whichever is greater. One of these coins is a deception. Find it using only two judgments and receive my blessing."

Wugruk was lost, on both the riddle and the Kobolds being nowhere to be seen. "Drats! We lost them"

"I guess we'll never know, though I'd like to think it was the latter."
Errich will look over the statues, see if he can glean anything that may help with the riddle.

As a player when I look at this riddle I get stumped too, there are nine golden coins, one of them isn't a golden coin, a fake. Because the statues hands work like scales, raising up whichever has the greater weight, we'd have to test each one in a brute force, so if we removed 7 of them and put one in each hand it would test them and if they were equal we'd swap them out for two more but that would only eliminate 4 of them leaving 5 to test. If we had 4 judgements then we could use this method. Unless the adderall hasn't kicked in yet and I am speaking nonsense lolAny other ideas?

I'll roll religion for the others as well.As for the tests, you can place any number of coins on either hand, and also leave any number of coins on the altar.

Any way with a crafting check I could determine the fake? Or perception just by a weight difference? Jul 18, 2023 10:02 pm
OOC:
I'll allow a crafting check since Wugruk is well versed in metallurgy. But it'll be a hard DC, since this is basically a divine manifestation wanting to test your wits 😆OOC:
Think about the numbers here... 9 coins, 2 hands, 1 altar, 2 attempts...Rolls

I'll admit, I don't see anything written special about the alter? Did you write something and I missed it? I am sorry :(Jul 19, 2023 3:23 am
OOC:
I'm not good with riddles in real life, let alone ttrpgs, ha.Is there an applicable skill, as a thief, that I can use to tell which coins may be counterfeit?

OOC:
The altar is just where all the coins initially are. And that's ok, the characters can know things the players don't. Let's see...After an expectant moment... neither hand raises.

"What do we make of this lad?" Wugruk said stroking his beard, "So one of the three coins is the fake That is sure"
OOC:
So if we do two of the remaining coins if neither one raises then the third is the fake one, if one does then it's the fake, thats the concept right?Jul 19, 2023 7:06 pm
A loud click comes from the other side of the room, where two doors wait patiently. One closer, on the right, the other at the end of a short hall, forward.
The first door reveals a small chamber...

This small chamber contains an old wooden chest emblazoned with the symbol of a key. Behind the chest is a massive contraption of gears and pulleys that looks like the inner workings of some unseen device.Jul 19, 2023 7:44 pm
Clapping the dwarf on the back, "Excellent job, Wugruk! You solve the riddle, we reap the rewards.". Looking curiously at the contraption, "...Maybe..."
Errich will walk slowly towards the chest to see if it's trapped, or if the mechanism behind it is the trap.

The mechanism is not linked to the chest, and Errich does not detect traps here. In fact, despite its symbol, the chest is unlocked.

The unlocked chest contains the blessing of Abadar. Inside is a pile of coins, a rolled-up piece of parchment, and a small glass box containing a single emerald. The coins consist of 214 cp, 22 sp, and 3 gp.OOC:
