The door opens into a large, candle-lit room filled with the most extraordinarily lifelike statues of knights and warriors.  A white-haired old man dressed in tattered rags suddenly jumps out from behind one of the statues and starts to giggle.  Though he looks like a fool, the sparkle in his eye makes you think there is more to him than is apparent.  In a high-pitched voice he says, "Oh good, another stone for my garden.  I'm glad you have come to join your friends.  Now, I'm a fair man and so I'll ask you a question.  If you answer correctly, I'll let you go free - but if your answer is wrong, I'll turn you to stone!"  He starts to chuckle again, obviously pleased with your arrival.<br/><br/><em>Your choices are to wait for his question, or to attack him with your sword, or to make a run for the door.</em>
