Riddles with the Sphinx


After a brief exploration of the surrounding area
the PCs reach a ruined bandit camp, where they
find scattered equipment, abandoned tents, and
a sphinx lounging over a half-eaten
camel. The sphinx’s tail twitches
as PCs approach, but he doesn’t
move to attack. Zandyk (NG male
sphinx) feels disconcerted by
the crude and lethal reactions
his appearance caused—not
for fear of his own safety, but
because of the brutish nature
of the people he has met so far.
As a result, he’s having second
thoughts about his plans to
become a student. In his culture,
riddles are a sacred trust, and none
of the bandits waited around past
the first line of his previous offerings.
He addresses the PCs when they enter
the camp.

“Are you here to attack me, too?” the sphinx asks sulkily.
He extends his claws and plays idly with an intricately carved
Dust Mephit puzzle box. “I once dreamed of studying at the Magaambya
to learn of your magic and history, but now I am close to
