WIZARDLY WATERFALL
You’re at the foot of a raging waterfall. The cliff is too slippery to climb. You notice some Dwarvish runes carved into the stone…
Solution:
Drink a cup full of water from the waterfall. The water will reverse direction allowing you to ride it to the top!
As always - if players find another solution, go with it!
Notes for the Dungeon Master:
Make it fun:
Play an energetic song! Vividly describe the moment your party is swept into the current and careens up the waterfall!
Swap out the language:
“You see the glow of Dwarvish runes carved into the cliff.”
One of your players will remember they speak Dwarvish! Hand that player a piece of paper with the riddle written on it.
You can substitute Dwarvish for an elegant Elvish script or a scrawl of goblin writing. It’s fun to use your language skills.
No cup? No problem:
Your players may not have a cup! No problem, nearby they’ll find a cup-shaped rock. If they want to cup their hands, that works too.
