In the land of Aviontix there are ruins. A lot of ruins. There are many sand buried cities, king's tombs (They were a very religious people, focused upon their leaving to the afterlife), and huge statuary. However, Aviontix was a kingdom so long ago, that everything has been looted. (Figure there has been a whole historical epoch or two since then) There might be a hidden tomb or something somewhere in the lands, but it is unlikely. This does not stop people from selling maps to them all the time.

If the adventurers are smart, they can solve this riddle and get the information they need.

To be used for the final encounter, find the final treasure, or anything that needs to be hidden away better then normal. Typical 'who the heck would ever spend the time making it' but it is fun and a mental challenge for a change.

Then suddenly all your body paralizes and you hear a voice echoing in the distance "seems like another rat has been lured to my maze," this voice was terribly cold but playfull, "come on you are not already planning on leaving, the fun has only begun."
