Back out into the corridor and another 15' down the corridor a smelly, gooey looking dark mess in the middle of the corridor appears so quickly you almost step into it. It smells like rotten eggs and it bubbles as you look. It lacks a foot or so of extending to the walls, you might be able to get around it.
What do you do?
If you poke it with a ten foot pole you will now have a nine foot pole. If you hurry past it along either wall, six players can get past it, but by that time it will extend itself all the way to the walls. Any other players will have to jump and do it quickly as it is expanding. Once everyone is past it, it will disappear without a trace, perhaps it lies in wait hidden to return again in an instant. If you probe the floor where it was a moment ago with a ten (or maybe a nine) foot pole, you will detect nothing but hard floor.
Does anyone want to walk back across where it was? Are you sure you want to do that?
#4 Another 15' and you come to another door. This room is 30'x30'. It appears to have a wood floor carefully put together to completely cover the stone beneath. It is carefully polished and is a very dark attractive wood. The walls are covered with a much lighter wood and two walls have shelves that appear to be attached to the walls. The shelves are covered with old books and even older scrolls, most of which are very fragile. The writing is very faint due to age and it cannot be deciphered. The right hand wall has a floor to ceiling mirror. The walls to either side of the door are bare. There are two tables in the room with a single chair at each. The each have a candle burning and a blank scroll, a quill pen and an ink fountain. A single mark has been made on each scroll.
The large mirror draws you interest. When you look into the mirror you do not see the room reflected, nor do you see yourself. You are looking at a large flat field with the grass eaten short, behind it is a small hill on which sits a pair of knights on horses.
They see you and start moving towards you.
What do you do?
As they reach the flat area, they couch their lances and knee their horses into a trot, it is at this point that you realize that you and your companions are in the field on a hot, sunny day. As the knights approach they pick up the pace and it turns into a charge.
What do you do?
If you survive the fight you will be stuck on the world of the field and will have to find the way back or if you figured out how to break the spell you will continue in the corridor.
