Clever Riddles, Puzzles and Tricks you have used in a Campaign
What are some fun or funny Riddles, Puzzles or Tricks you have used or seen in your campaigns? I would love to get a list started. Here is one example I just used.
The Neverending Hallway
My adventurers rounded a corner and entered a hallway 60' long and 20' wide. It was made of stone. At the far end of the hallway was an open exit but it was shrouded in darkness. Even those with darkvision could not see past the opening. They did some investigation and discoverd there were arcane runes every ten feet across the walls and ceiling of this corridor. They even saw that the rune above the exit was an exact mirror match to the one at the entrance. So they first try to just push through the exit. The first person that walks through it disappears and is transported back to the beginning of the hallway. After three of the party do this a Gazer appears in the middle and they must defeat it. The party gives up and goes back the way they came ending up at a dead end exploring the rest of the area. So they return once again and go over the details. Something clicks in the rogues head and she says. "I walk backwards through the entrance." and poof the darkness at the end of the hallway disappears and she is safely in the room beyond.
