[QUOTE="Chaoszero, post: 4914010, member: 82248"] I am proud to say that I did dupe my PCs into this illusion a number of times. (You'd think they'd learn, but they do play good aligned characters well). Golems that seemed to be damsels, a succubus adventuring with the party for several months without anyone noticing, and one damsel (a mentor to the party sorcerer) was secretly a silver dragon. The most infamous one, though, was when they were questing to rescue an old party member who had been trapped inside a fiendish prison on the lower planes. It was a prison meant for the worst of the fiends, like Gwar's "Eighth Lock". They saw a riddle on the prison's door warning about three perticular inmates, but either didn't care or didn't understand the prose. When they found their former companion, there were three naked women chained with silver in the next room begging to be set free. The PCs strongly suspected these three were not what they appeared, but the "women" had a perfect story and made their bluff checks, so the PCs set them free and even teleported them to the Material Plane. These three women were so happy they returned to face the PCs in their true form: as Mariliths (in the same fight the PCs were battling the Tarrasque!) [/QUOTE]
