Tricky treasure?


Age of Worms Adventure Path


In The Champion's Belt, does anyone have a suggestion as to why Bozal Zahol has two scrolls of ethereal jaunt in his chest? The other items I can understand, both as things that would be useful to a cleric of Kyuss, and that might come in handy for the PCs later on. But ethereal jaunt seems out of character for Zahol, and precisely the sort of dungeon-busting magic you don't want your PCs to get hold of too early in their careers.

Has anyone found these scrolls problematic, or helpful?

What level are your PC's?

If you see the spell as a problem, adjust a magic user to happen to have some force spells active or scrolls of ethereal jaunt themselves. Remember only 1 pc per scroll can go so they risk leaving the others behind and getting caught alone. I've ended an ethereal jaunt on a trap, makes me think twice before using it again. If there is a way to dismiss it, you can try to do that to them while they are in a solid object 1d6 per 5 feet traveled to get to an open space. I think it's good to let them have the treasure, just be prepared to use their tactics against them. and perhaps there is a place where the designers thought it might come in very handy.

They're 10th, going on 11th.

Yes, I wondered whether there was such a place - I hope someone who's played further in the Adventure Path can let me know!

so they would not have access to the spell for 3 more levels.
