So, one more time, about Zosiel's finger...?

[Golbez57]

I know I've read this somewhere before, but want to be clear on how this clue was supposed to function.

In a past thread, Mr. Mona stated that, when replaced in its proper home on the lid to Zosiel's false sarcophagus, the finger that the PCs find in the rubble of the wolf den points to the location of the true tomb.

In doing some manual gymnastics, I've tried to contort my finger in a way that'd direct PCs in that direction, but am not coming up with anything workable.

We ended our last session after one of the heroes fell from the chain leading up to the true tomb's entrance (the "big face" corridor) after his careful Search located the opening, so it's not so much a concern. The bigger issue is that they have found the finger, detected faint evocation on the lid, and it's only a matter of time until they put they "reattach" the broken finger. I want to describe its appearance to 'em properly when they do so, as a way of confirming to them, "Yeah, that high opening in the alcove is important."

Thanks in advance for setting me straight!

The fingers are meant to show "3" with the true tomb being three halls over from the reset position at orange. So, yellow, green, blue and you're there.

As James Jacobs once wrote, the clue is fairly "vague" at best. So don't concern yourself or the players with the significance of the finger clue.

Ah, that works! Thanks, Rexx.

"...it's only a matter of time until they put they "reattach" the broken finger."

Dang; sorry for the butchered sentence, there. See what happens when one's boss interrupts them with questions while he is visiting non-work-related sites?!
