My players had just finished defeating the medusa rogues and un-stoning 4 of the 6 PC's when they got the bright idea to comb all the alcoves for secret doors. After the elf illusionist found the one with the rolling pillar by the altar, he moved over in the corner to wait while the weretiger pushed the pillar out of the way. Guess what he found on accident while standing there? Another secret door. Guess which door they decided to explore next? The one he just found. Guess where it lead? To a room with a spell weaver. The above quote was said by the dwarven fighter/dervish just before he got trapped by Embril's magic jar spell. Now he's trapped in the gem and watching his body walk through the bogs of Carceri calling for Nerull. Oops.
The party has only defeated Ssythar Nahazir and the medusas and the spell wever from the ruins of Shatterhorn, now they want to make a planar jaunt to Carceri to resue their comrade. Will they save him? Maybe. Will they get spanked and sent back to the Prime? Probably. Will Cauldron need a new mayor again? Most likely.
I love this campaign. It's the best one since TOEE.

I love this campaign.
Agreed! My PCs slaughtered the rest of the Cagewrights last night (except for Embril and Theyeryn Louvel) At one point half the party died, though a well placed revivify scroll alleviated that situatation.
The rouge found the secret door in the Egg room and everyone was confused as he hastily climbed the ladder. They were downwright flabbergasted when he grabbed Embril's body and cast Plane Shift ("I didn't know the rouge could do that?!?")
Ghath (the dominated barbarian...see the Shatterhorn Prep thread for more detail) climbed up after the Rouge and saw all this happen...he saw the Spellweaver and teh spell weaver cast crushing hand, which managed to grapple him! The spellweaver is going to be an interesting fight, to say the least. This is where we left the session and we won't be playing till the sunday after next (blasted superbowl!). I am looking forward to it!
