Escape Room Style Challenge - The 12 Novice Adventurers (Patreon)

This request comes from another one of my patrons, Brad. Here's what Brad requested:

I recently went through an escape room with some of my gaming group, and I thought that it would be interesting to put out characters through an “escape dungeon” during a session. Could you do that as a mini-dungeon?

Challenge accepted, Brad!

The general idea I came up with is a labyrinthine dungeon with a series of doors, all locked. The only way to get through each of the doors is by solving a riddle within. This is a throwback to old Gygaxian adventures as well as video games from the late-'80s/early-'90s like Shadowgate, Deja Vu, and Myst.

I thought I might cut this up a little bit since it takes a little more doing to create riddles (it's more difficult than I thought it'd be!), but here's the first part of it now.

As I create more of these rooms for my patrons (including Brad), I'll add more rooms, but for now, this room can be added to any dungeon you like or easily inserted into a preexisting adventure.
