The tolim is on the quest The Labyrinth
They arrive at the ruin and everything seems peaceful. It doesn't take long for them to find the entrance that leads down and there is a hole in one wall in the basement, leading into another room with a spiral stairway. Much further down, in the light of lamps and torches, they see a beautiful marble hall with four doors to pick from.
The decide to go north, and as they pass the door, it slams shut behind them. Then they enter the hall of strength, and find a giant stone blocking the exit on the other side.
With combined strength, the push the rock aside and continue.
They gain 10 gold, and each living character gains 100 xp.
After a few turns, they arrive in the next hall. White clouds begin to fill it as soon as they all enter, and a voice speaks: "This is the test of smarts. There is a hidden door, hinted at by the signs on the walls. Find it in time or suffocate."
The ancient symbols make no sense and resemble no known language. They attempt for a long time, but cannot figure out what it all means or how it shows a door. Finally, one by one they run out of breath as the white mist fills their lungs. Just before they pass out, the clouds lift and the voice says: "You failed this test, but you passed the first. Continue and prove that you are worthy in another challenge."

In the next room they reach, all doors slam shut as they enter and the ceiling begins to move down. A voice speaks: "This is the test of power. Stop the roof with your combined power, or be crushed underneath." and then falls silent. The heroes brace and push as the ceiling reaches their shoulder height.
Try as they might, they cannot stop this trap, and one by one fall to the ground. The ceiling lands on them and begins to crush them, but then stops and lifts. The voice says: "You fail this task, but you passed the first, so you can continue and prove your worth on another challenge."

With no flesh to wound nor blood to draw, these stone warriors are formidable enemies, and even though they fight hard, the group gets beaten bloody. Just as the warriors tower above them, ready for the kill, they return to their positions and a voice says: "You failed". Then it falls silent, and the warriors return to their positions. The door ahead stays shut.
