The Boiling Bubble

As we left the nasty cistern behind, the terrain began to change dramatically. The flooded passageways transitioned into relatively clean hallways free of standing water. After trudging through grimy water all day, it was a welcome change. But clean does not always mean safe, as we soon found out.

The Undead Swimming Pool

With Whelm in tow, we started heading back towards the entrance to the dungeon - back towards the sphinx. We made it back without any trouble, but once there we quickly discovered that to pursue the other weapons we would have to answer more riddles. Bolstered by our success (or luck) with the sphinx's first riddle, we believed our next attempt would be equally successful. The sphinx then queried:

"Round she is yet flat as a board,
Altar of the Lupine Lords.
Pearl on black velvet,
Jewel of the sea.
Changing yet never changing,
Eternally"
