A potion bottle labelled as Stonepower was found on a barrel by Team 3 of Series 7. Alongside it were three similar-looking phials - Dragonsbreath, Goblin Juice and Starclimb - and a clue scroll that read: 'Juice for a goblin; Stone for a hard heart'. Distrustful of the scroll's allusion to Stonepower, the team chose not to pick it up.

Perhaps the potion was indeed a trick, and would have affected dungeoneer Alex, had he imbibed it, in the same way as a Medusa eye would have. Or maybe it was a cleaning fluid for bongs. We'll never know, but it's probably not worth losing sleep over.
