The Adventure
Moving through White Plume Mountain, Tem had a slightly bad encounter with a steam vent. He plunged into lava, but managed to get out and rejoin the party. From there they headed south to a locked door.

Alli found that she could open it. Inside, they found nine strands of rusted wire hanging from the ceiling. From five of them hung humanoid prisoners - or the remains thereof- from their wrists. All looked starved and neglected. Someone noticed that one of them was breathing, and the party let it down and fed it. Eriden's dog didn't like it though, and let on that she was a werewolf. It decided to follow the party. (Never feed a stray dog).

The next room held nine primary furnishings: a rack, a table with wrist and ankle straps, a harness suspended above a fire pit, an iron maiden, and a seat fitted with foot, hand, and head screws. In the southwest corner was a massive knot of straw and torn cloth in the form of a large nest. In that nest sat a huge sphinx.

Instead of murder hoboing, they actually talked to her. She gave the following riddle:

Sapho’s Riddle


 * The beginning of eternity
 * The end of time and space
 * The beginning of every end,
 * And the end of every place.

Answer: the letter ”e.”
