10. Pixie Pillars

This large space is basically empty, except for two thick pillars rising up to the double- vaulted ceiling. The pillars are plain, with rounded details at the top and bottom, but as you look closer you think you see tiny marks on them. Pixies live here and have marked the pillars with graffiti. Someone who speaks Pixie and reads Elvish might be able to decipher the words, but otherwise a read languages spell will be needed. Most of the writing is gibberish, but a few sayings might be translated: "Beware the grumpy troll, he lost his nose but he still smells terrible!" "Watch out for the invisible spiders, but you'll still never see them coming!" "Help rescue the beautiful dragon from the horrible princess!" "A knight's gold isn't worth a day's work." "We hid the key where you'll ever find it." "Ribbons and riddles and empty boxes, and what do you have to show for it?" "Snoring orcs abound, ready for looting." "Did you bring flowers?" The pixies lair in room 11, but if the adventurers spend much time here (particularly if they read the graffiti) they will come out and tease the party, whispering rude words in their ears, stealing small items, tying characters together with thin cords while they are distracted, and so on. The pixies speak Common well and Elvish with less expertise. Their statistics are given in room 11 below.
