You decide to go spelunking, but half-way down the cavern, you hear the entrance collapse behind you. You back-track and find that you are completely sealed in. Instead of wasting your time trying to move the rocks out of the way, you decide to look for another exit deeper in the cavern.
Just around the corner from where you were during the collapse is a large, open cavern. The first thing you notice is a pedestal carved out of a stalagmite in the center of the room. You walk up and notice there is a riddle on it, it read:
"Greatings traveller, the time to worry is nigh.
Follow your heart, and use your mind to find your way.
Two doors lie in wait, one on either side.
Each has its own guardian, protecting whats inside.
One leads to freedom, the other to demise.
One guardian only tells the truth, the other only lies,
one question can be asked to each, so pick your words with care.
So make up your mind and ask them what you dare."
You looks to your left and see a large Golem like creature made of granite standing in front of an elaborately decorated doorway, and on your right you see a creature made of wood in front of a similarly decorated doorway.
As you step away from the pedestal, each one rises, and they individually state their case. The granite golem says in a loud voice which shakes the cavern, "Welcome traveller, and listen to me, the other one tells only lies, so ask to me your question if you want to be free." Imediately afterward, the tree golem says, in a kreaky voice that is a little hard to understand, "Listen not to him traveller, for all he tells are lies, i am the truth teller and can't lead you to demise."
