[QUOTE="Pigeon, post: 820886, member: 3496"] My players are currently poking around a Dark Creeper city trying to find out why the Dark Creepers have suddenly started venturing up onto the surface world and stealing a bunch of very powerful magical items. What they have yet to find out is that a mind flayer has charmed the leaders of the city into ordering there subjects to find magic artifacts, and then destroy them in order that divine and arcane magic is made weaker, therefore making their psionics becomes more powerful. The artifacts are being destroyed by a magic draining sphere that is in the heart of the Dark Creeper city (this sphere is just one of a number of such devices all around the game world). My players being who they are probably likely to attempt to destroy the sphere by hitting it with large hammers. Has anyone got any ideas about what should happen if they decide to take such a route. My initial thoughts are for the sphere to explode and release all the magic in one huge burst. I'd like to keep them alive if possible, and to avoid the sulks that go along with permanently turning them into raccoons or the like. Teleportation is always an option I suppose. Another interesting proposition is that the characters could take on the atributes of the things that the sphere had absorbed, however I don't want to make them too powerful. The group is currently mainly 4th level. Thanks for any help. [/QUOTE]
