Encounter 52 - Princess' Head Bis
This is a totally optional encounter that takes place only if the PCs go back to room with white coffin (which is probably not there anymore), see encounter #50.
So if the PCs go back here and search under the bed, they find a globe exactly like the one in room #49, except this is the real princess' head. Note that for sake of coherence that this globe was previously not there, and was later hidden under the bed by a wandering monster. Otherwise, the PCs are just plain stupid to not have searched under the bed in the first place.
There is no way to tell which of the two globes contain the real princess' head, which are otherwise identical. If the PCs try to determine randomly which it is the true one, the first globe has 50% to be the good one, bu the other has only 37% of being the wrong one. In any case, if you have now the false princess alive (see encounter 51) she will try to destroy that globe found under the bed. THIS IS A CLUE!! Cut the false princess' head and replace it by this one. Once cut, the false princess' head turns into a Vargouille that is not friendly. She attacks on sight (and has eyes in her sockets too!!!!).
Side note: once you put the right head on the body, everybody is teleported into Gomezatron's room, INCLUDING the vargouille! If it happens, the Vargouille immediately attacks Gomezatron. Everything else is up to the PCs (i.e.: if they try to kill the true princess, a 7th level bard, they are free to do so; if they do so the vargouille kills Gomazetron who has been shocked by the PCs' evil action, then returns to the body and once again becomes the charming false princess she was before).
