[QUOTE="Ganymede81, post: 7285124, member: 6812267"] Your first step is to determine whether or not you actually need the artifact. This might be an avoidable encounter. Even if you think you need it, your group should brainstorm ways to complete your quest without it. Perhaps there is an alternative possibility that you all missed. Aside from that, consider that with every challenge come rules. Your group could figure out a way to game the rules of this particular challenge in your favor. Maybe you can summon a devil specialized in twisting around fine print in order to help with this endeavor? You could also try getting the artifact without participating in the challenge. You could break into the villain's vault in order to steal it out from under his nose. Alternatively, you could try bartering for it, either by trading something else that he desperately wants, or by using some sort of leverage. Maybe you could discover some sort of dreadful secret that he would prefer stays secret. Have you secured the favor of any allies? It is possible that you've gained the patronage of a local lord. Imagine a group of militia gathered at the villain's doorstep to collect the artifact as back taxes, all to your group's benefit. There, multiple possibilities for defeating this challenge. [/QUOTE]
