ME-PBM 2950 Encounter From: mjhst37+@pitt.edu (Michael J Hromanik) Date: Sat, 04 Feb 1995 19:36:53 +0000 I recently ran into the following encounter (without issueing an investigate order) when I moved onto an artifact I located: --- had just bedded down for a good night's rest when his eyes were arrested by a soft glow emanating from over the next hill. Deciding that he had better discover the source of this glow, he picked up his belongings and made his way cautiously over the rise. As he drew closer, he noticed that the glow seemed to be coming from a small cave set back into the hill. He entered the cave ready for anything but halted in amazement when he entered the central chamber. Inside was a large dark mirror with constantly shifting images of people, places, and ancient artifacts. It was from the mirror that the glow was emanating. Across the mirror stood a skeleton of a giant humanoid decked out in an assortment of intricately carved armor and holding a giant sword in readiness. Finally, between the mirror and the skeleton was a stout door set into the wall fastened with a stout metal lock formed by an ancient craft. Should you Touch the mirror and call out a name ______ (Character ID) Touch the mirror and call out a place ______ (Hex #) Touch the mirror and call out an artifact ______ (Artifact #) DESTROY the mirror Try to OPEN the lock on the door ATTACK the skeleton STEAL the armor and weapons from the skeleton FLEE Does anybody have any experience with this encounter? Since I came looking for an artifact I feel calling out the artifact name may be the correct response (of course this could simply do another locate for me). Does this description appear in any of Tolkeins works or in any ICE products? Any help will be apprreciated. BTW, the character is probably strong enough to deal with a skeleton attack.
