Sadly, Protection from spells grants a resistance bonus, so it will not stack with the +5 Cloak of Resistance any character of this level might have... This makes this spell less than useful in my book (additional +3 on saves for a 8th level slot?).
Most of the savage creatures will already be killed by the remaining unaffected kopru and trogs. So there might be some savage creatures in Golismorga, but almost none in the ziggurat when the PCs arrive. Anyway, it should be a tad less boring than clearing the ziggurat without the savage creatures (which would mean wading through masses of troglodytes and kopru). But I definately will let them encounter a single "savage building" just because I love that idea (thanks to the fiendish dire weasel for that!) This saturday we'll (finally) continue this campaign. I'll let you know, how it worked out afterwards.
I definately will congratulate them... afterwards - if they survive *evil laugh*. Now to generating all the templated version of the monsters... however according to the STAP if they don't flood the city big D and Khala will simply send more Kopru later (Although I never understood where they would get another Bilewitch from.) Ah right, though I'll probably make it enough of a setback that by the time operations in Golismorga are up and running again, either Demogorgon is history or the PCs will return with near-epic levels and finish it.
We are currently halfway through Lightless Depths and at the end of the last session my players... Spoiler:
... had absolutely no intention of destroying Tlalocs Tear (being as wary of the "demon fish that enslave whole tribes" as they are of the "Lords of Dread"). Instead, they plan to trigger the Shadow Pearl they still have (from Vanthus) in the middle of Golismorga. Did anyone else encounter this plan before? I'm not seeing any kind of fatal flaw. Now, for the data I gathered so far: Golismorga measures about 0.4 x 0.6 miles, so the 1 mile burst radius of the shadow pearl should affect the whole city and a bit of the surrounding caves. It is a Will Save DC 15 to avoid becoming a Savage Creature, so statistically will be affected:
That should definately wreak some havoc. I'll assume, that the kopru will concentrate on clearing the ziggurat of any savage creatures, so the PCs will (if they wait a while for the smoke to clear) encounter some savage kopru and troglodytes in the ruined city, but the ziggurat should be mostly filled with unaffected ones - at a much reduced number. If anyone has ideas or thoughts, I'd be happy to hear them.
Actually if you downgrade to Adobe Reader 8.1 (the free version), you can do it the way Vic described. Only since Adobe Reader 9 this functionality seems to be unavailable. |
