27. Yellow Pedestal

This room is entirely empty, save for an irregular yellow pillar in the center of the room. The pillar is about four feet tall and about two feet in diameter at the base, tapering to about a foot in diameter at the top. It is lumpy and shiny, as if made of candle wax. If examined closely, read the following: Embedded in the top of the pillar is a smooth, glossy white stone, an opal perhaps. If the stone is touched, it will be found to be an illusion. After 2d4 rounds that character will see a floating eyeball hovering nearby, watching. The eyeball is an illusion; treat it as having an AC of 22 if attacked. A successful strike against the eyeball causes it to disappear. Only the character who touched the stone will be able to see the eyeball, and if more than one character touches it, each will get his or her own illusionary eyeball. If unmolested, any illusionary eyeballs will follow their victims, apparently watching, until Khaadk is contained or freed. The eyes do not actually see anything (i.e. they are not any sort of scrying device); they are just here to be creepy.
