The PCs did put the idol back, but I would still think that killing the Aspect in the Shrine would still anger Zotzilaha and as a result those actions would still need to be explained to the village. In my opinion there is no way for the paladin to lie about what happened, even if another party member says otherwise, the paladin being lawful good should not be able to stand by and allow the lie to be told. The main question would be how do the villagers react. Zotzilaha would somewhat be appeased by having the idol returned but destroying the Aspect is not a good thing. Even if he is just there to guard and control the Shrine.


OK So the the Paladin in the group did not want to return the Bat Idol to an evil creature, so the party attacked and defeated the Aspect of Zotzilaha after a few close calls. They they take all the treasure so I hit them with the curse. The Paladins rationality is that he is freeing the people of the Aspects hold over them. When they get back to the village, how do you think this will play out. How would the Zombie Master and Chieftan react if the Paladin tells them that they destroyed the Aspect (since I am not sure the villagers would know of thought the Aspect to be a god). I am trying to figure out the course of action. It could go either favorably or badly for the party in terms of gains the Olman tribes help in defending Farshore from the Crimson Fleet.

Any insight would be greatly appreciated. Thanks.

I'm not sure it would react to it at all. That being said I don't think that an Unseen Servant could possible extract the items. It's strength is just not strong enough. Although I hate to discourage out of the box thinking, maybe giving them a hint that a combination of Unseen Servant and some kind of solvent thrown just right would do it.

I agree I like to see out of the box thinking. It does stats that an Unseen Servant has a Strength of 2 so it can carry 20 pounds or drag up to 100 pounds. Considering there is only a ring and gantlets (sp) in there, they should not total 20 pounds to carry.


Question for the people on the board about the Ooze. The party used Detect magic to determine that there are a few items inside the ooze that might be of some use. What they want to do is cast an Unseen Servant and have him go down to try to extract the items. The question is how would the ooze react to this unseen force? Would it consider it an attack, or since it is just a shapeless force would it be allowed to extract these items.

Any thoughts are appreciated.


I agree. That is one of the better ideas I have heard. It is cool and pretty sneaky doing something like that.


I would also like to request a copy of the files to jgrob@seic.com. Thanks

Haven't yet received it. After waiting for some weeks, I inquired about 138; received a replacement copy shortly thereafter. Several weeks later, I received another copy of 138, in a paper envelope, but I still don't have 139.

I had subscribed too late to get issue 139 but picked my copy up at the local gaming store. Just looking through it quickly, it looks like a lot of fun.

The process should take about a minute or so.

(There was another problem with this product which was preventing watermarking from working properly, which I have now fixed. Thanks for bringing this to our attention!)

No problem. Thank you again for your quick reply.

Because I forgot to change its product line to "downloadable file". It shouldn't ask for shipping anymore.
That is correct. It now works correctly. Thank you for your quick response.

One final question. Now that the PDF has showed up in my Download section and I select Personalize this file. How long does it that for it to be ready for download?

Maybe you could run them through some of the Champions trials that were in Dungeon 138? Those are a series of tricks/obstacles to overcome. Not dependent on level. Maybe this could be how they meet. None of them has gotten picked for a team, so they decide to join up and try together.

Since I wont be getting my copy until September 13th when it hits the stores and we are playing the following Sunday, I plan on running the new character through the Champions Trials. I will give them a chance to work out their characters abilities and ease them into the city with having to rush through the first adventure.
