What are these things ? P . S . I hate feminazis too xxx <| sep |> thanks for subscribing to catfacts <| sep |> You think there would be more political assassinations ? <| sep |> It ' s clever , but seems kinda complicated . I mean , I dunno how hard core or casual your game group is , but this puzzle doesn ' t seem solvable unless the players already know what spell components go to what spell . Otherwise , I can just see them going what are those statues ? Roll dice . Ok , now what are those ? Roll dice ok , how do I use these ? Roll dice . There ' s no room for player intuition . You either give them the answers based on their rolls , or they ' re stuck , because aside from the thermometer and maybe the matches . I dunno , there ' s nothing a modern human could figure out unless someone actually has read and memorized the spell components for spells their character may not even have . Therefore , their ability to solve this situation is completely dependent on die rolls , which essentially is just a combat encounter . I feel like maybe you can freebie some of the info . There are statues depicting spells on one table with bowls in front of them . On another table is what looks to be spell components and then if the players ask what components go to which spells , just shrug and look at the Players handbook . Once the Players get the hint and look up the answers , then have them make arcana checks to see if the Characters guessed right . Just my opinion , though , the general idea IS pretty clever !
