Into the Ziggurat

Completed
Adventure

High stakes dungeon into Kalak's Ziggurat.

First few levels were cleared by the Veiled Alliance. Three level structure, each level puzzle+trap+combat

Intro

You descend into the Ziggurat, having each been given an apricot of healing - an enchanted fruit that will remove one wound upon consumption. Fortunately, the Veiled Alliance appears to have cleared or disabled the first several floors of traps, puzzles, and guardians, leaving you to catch up partway through. 

First Level

Puzzle

The first challenge, where the Veiled Alliance was stumped, is some form of riddle or puzzle.  After walking carefully around several marked pressure plates - plus an unfortunate corpse of a guard who misstepped and has since rotted away - you find a door that fills the hall from door to ceiling, with a handle on the left hand side. The door is locked by six rotary dials in a column, each set to 00. Adjacent to the door are a five pairs of numbers scratched into the wall at about waist height. The numbers are 16, 06, 68, 88, and 98.

Trap

Having found the correct solution, the dials collapse into the door, which then slides down to reveal a long narrow hallway.

Guardian

Bursting into the next room, you're presented with a large space dimly lit by four lanterns at the corner of a raised platform. On the platform is a woman, her hands tied above her head as she lightly hangs from a post. Her head droops, but you can barely make out the signs of life. Along the edges of the room are several shallow pools of water.

Correct order is 2AD4.
