Hey all --

I started a GM thread for this one in case anyone has questions, and to also supply something for GMs who may be prepping this soon.

GMs Only:

I have collected a few additional riddles for GMs who may be looking for some substitutions. Or you can feel free to do your own google search for 'Rhyming Riddles.' There sure are a lot of them!

Thanks all!

HMM, why our heroes need to gather the favor of the sphinx before answering the riddle? (It is written in the scenario. I know they need to do this.)

Very happy to have an easy fight for once.

They need to gather the favor of the sphinx because Zandyk is really down on humanity right now. Putting him in a better mood will make it easier to deal with him later.

I am glad the fight struck the correct challenge balance for your party!

It says the dust mephits are lounging in the shadows of the sphinx statue. I was going to have them start in that area and the PC's begin down closer to the oasis.

How many attempts do the players get to impress the sphinx? One per character? Two? Three? I mean, because the max is 8 favor points, and the minimum number of points you need to play in the bounty is three (thus giving you a max of 6 points) I'm assuming you get more than one chance per character.

Pretty sure it's 1 attempt per PC. With 3 players you add in a 4th pregen.

You need 2 points to get the riddle and max out on 8 points (all critical successes) to get 4 blues.

With 5 players you need 3 points and max at 10.

With 6 players you need 4 points and max at 12.
