This plain, 20' by 30' room appears totally empty, save a heavy iron key resting against the wall directly opposite the doorway. Just outside the arch. way is a brass plaque reading, "Questioning." GameMaster The pit directly below the door is covered by an illusion of normal floor. The pit is only 15' deep, but the bottom 5' is filled with concentrated acid. (My, my, but that stuff seems to be popular around here.) Whoever falls for this one deserves what they get. The key opens the portcullis (area 14) to the room of Reversal. Score Chart +3 For safely discovering the pit +5 For retrieving the key -10 For dying by falling through the illusion -15 For dying by falling through a revealed illusion (bonehead!) -20 For dropping the key in the acid (Roshia will have to send them a new one ... morons.
