Details of the scenario:
Hi guys! This Friday I run a heist for three players
There is a puzzle I want to give one of them that involves whispers: “ The Voice of Truth”
Any of you able to join to be a whispering voice?
It'll be a "camera off" job. Just voice. And you will only be needed for the duration of the puzzle. r/longdistancevillains mods are taking too long to approve me posting there, so I’ve come here looking for help!
Basically, the players will traverse a web maze enchanted to be disorienting to outsiders, and this leads them to a puzzle. At one point in the maze, whispering voices will beset upon them from every angle. These voices are close and far, loud and quiet, mean and kind, desperate and calm. All but one (the voice of truth) seeks to lead the character astray.
The player must discern the voice of truth by trial and error (maybe a skill check or two will help), or by noticing only one voice is consistently disagreeing with the other others.
I will provide a list of the obstacles (about five) and the truth of how to overcome them. Your job will be to join Zoom with camera off, and whisper alternate suggestions that are lies.
Obstacle 1:
a gap in the floor ahead. Truth: "Walk through the left wall" consequences of failing: 4d6 falling damage.
Obstacle 2:
web strand slack line across a black pit. Truth: "jump into the void halfway across" consequences of failing: poisoned condition for 2 hours
Obstacle 3:
ramps going up or down different passages in ten different direction. Truth: "3rd ramp from the left headed up" consequences of failing: confusion spores make you realize you dropped an item... somewhere
Obstacle 4:
mechanical blade arms flying out of the darkness seemingly at random through the webs. Truth: "hug the right wall" Consequences of failing: 5d8 slashing damage
Obstacle 5:
prismatic shimmering webs form a hall of mirrors. Truth: "left, left, right, left" consequences of failing: arrive into the compound in an awful room instead of the normal entrance hall.Last edited by JimSocks; November 26th, 2024 at 16:45.
