Open source p.11CROSSING THE THRESHOLD INTO A WEIRD REALM • PATH TO LOCATION 2
A 30' diameter PIT interrupts the path, shooting downwards to darkness. If the edges are surveyed, flashes of RADIANT COLOR sparkle within, rising like soap bubbles. Miniature SPHERES emerge, solid, one for each party member, depicting scenes from the PC's past, composed of moving images and sound. INSPIRATUS THE GATEKEEPER climbs out the hole nearby. [Illusionist 8th level, AC 5 [14], HD 8, HP 33, ATT 2 x poison dagger (/ and save or die). SPELLS: alter self; color spray; gaze reflection; hypnotism; magic mouth; solid fog]. Handsome, alluring, ageless. Welcomes party to Night Land, urges caution. Offers RUMORS [p.30] for trade, doesn't accept coins. Plunges back in the pit once he's chatted, or blinks out of existence, leaving behind the smell of burnt sugar. Dwells in the same dimension of sweet stuff as THE TOOTH FAIRY (see the adventure XANADU, also published by SINGING FLAME).
