I am running a short mini-adventure out of the pathfinder world. The players are currently in a small town that has been subjected to gruesome experiments by a mad wizard. He maintains a permanent Mage's Private Sanctum. Within his sanctum are many rooms with ideally challenging puzzles that are do-or-die (slighty Tomb of Horrors-esque). I have already planned two or three, and they are as follows:
I'm going to rip off the labyrinth hard here, but the classic "one of us always lies, the other tells the truth." Except with ghasts. I think this one will either work (because idk if they've actually seen the movie) or be an easy pass.
For the second, they will walk into a room with two pools of water, and they must drink from one of them to proceed. Only problem is, one is poisonous, and the liquid loses its poison if removed from the room (runes on the doors purify the water), and the water must be drunk inside the room.
Any suggestions you guys could toss out, I'd really appreciate it! Looking for good, do-or-die puzzles here (i will, of course, offer them opportunities to not die if they should make the wrong choice).
