Risen From The Sands Question [SPOILER]

[Prethen]

For the Pharaoh's treasure, he has that cursed Periapt of Foul Rotting. Assuming the PC's don't accurately detect that it's a cursed item (DC=35), then I was going to ask which PC would carry the item. That PC within a day would know they've been cursed. This would be handled at the end of the adventure. This seems really mean and really expensive for a low level PC (a total of 4 PP or 960 GP). Is this the way I should handle it?

There's a periapt of health in the module(on one of the zombie lords iirc). Crushing that solves the problem.

Good point. Of course, this makes the assumption they've found it and identified it. If not, then...

No, just kidding. They can pay someone to identify it in Eto(iirc, closest settlement). As the state of the cursed character worsens, they're going to rattle their skulls eventually and guess that this other periapt must be causing the effect, particularily when they try to sell it and can't seem to remove the damn thing.

Still need to correctly identify the cursed item to understand the cure. But that's cursed items for you.
