Hi,
I need to include a puzzle in an upcoming session and am running a little low on creative ideas, and would appreciate any suggestions.
There is a demiplane, called Spiritae - it is inhabited by Fey and a civilized race of Eladrin. There is only one 'access point' between Spiritae and the material plane, where the party currently reside.
The PCs have just rescued a Silver Dragon who was imprisoned by the BBEG. The Silver Dragon is an ancient ally to the Eladrin and upon being freed, seeks to speak with the Eladrin about what has transpired.
The Eladrin have mistakenly assumed the dragon had abandoned & betrayed them, and so the usual means of entry (going to the access point and simply incanting a verse) will no longer work for the Dragon.
There is also a more hidden means of accessing the plane from the access point - this is to be based on a puzzle.
So, does anybody have good puzzle ideas, or even basic fragments of an idea that might help?
The setting will be forested. Spiritae is thematic with the elements, nature, and the Eladrin have aspects of Shinto-style religion and practice. The access point is not under heavy military guard or anything like that, but should be something that usually only one familiar with their culture would possibly get.
D&D 3.5, Level 8 party (Warblade, Warlock, Druid, Shifter)
Any suggestions welcome - thank you.
