Good morning everyone! I created a D&D puzzle that involves a statue of a Beholder. I really like what I came up with and wanted to share it with my fellow DMs. Here is the scenario...
Our heroic adventurers have found themselves trapped in a room with no way to get out. They find a stone statue of a Beholder. Its center eye is active and dousing the area with an anti-magic ray, but it's eye stalks are empty and void of the 10 eyes that could fill them. Near the statue is a cauldron filled with a gooey, optic slime and thousands of Red, Brown, Blue, Green and Purple eyes. Our characters have to search the room for clues and apply the correct number of colored eyes to the stalks or face the wrath of the stone statue and the room of eyes! Can your players solve the puzzle?
The solution revolves around information found in three paintings nearby... They must count the eyes in each painting and take note of the color of the frame the painting is in. Using this information, they will need to scoop the eyes out of the cauldron and insert them into the empty eye stalks. If you're interested to see the paintings and how things worked, I created a D&D Puzzle video that gives a full demonstration...
