Gemstone Statue
The path opens through a patch of trees into a clearing with a small lake. A bronze statue of a robed woman stands proudly at its centre. In one hand she holds an iron shield, with a web-like pattern. In the other, a gilded elven skull. Within the shallow water of the lake, you see the glint of a large number of gemstones.
Statue;
The statue is impervious to damage. Any attempt to move or damage it will summon a banshee, who will target the perpetrator. Saying "in her palm" will move the statue to offer the items. Gemstones;
Scattered across the lake are the following gemstones. Counting them will take 10 minutes. Touching a gemstone will cause it to disappear, releasing a hostile specter. At 0 hit points, the specter dissipates and whispers its name
The amount is the position of the letter in the common alphabet.
Hint checks;
Arcana DC15, there are spirits imprisoned in the gemstones
Religion DC10, the statue depicts the Goddess of Knowledge, Minerva, the character has a strong sense the order of the gems is important
Insight DC10, the character senses that the number of each type of gem isn't arbitrary Reward;
Gilded Skull (DC 15 Nature check will reveal it to be a Drow skull)
Shield of missile attraction (created by Drow (history DC 20 half its normal weight, glows faintly when dwarfs are within 120ft)
3,800 exp
