I would endorse pulling the chain, but only while I remain 65' or more away from the door, since the whole THING is a trap, which means there is probably a Golem on the other side of the door with a Symbol inscribed on it's chest. Furthermore, I would recheck the corridor for traps, as it is...

OOooh, now that's a low blow...[do you have the feat for that?]

:eek: (Threadjack complete, PS, that's a YES in case it was unclear) Now back to being thrilled with the Adventures of Abernathy's Company....

Supped on the blood of innocents?

The stick figure Dread Pirate Roberts?

I have heard those words before. Usually right before the PCs in my run take a header down the stairway of life. This is gonna be a fun read when it gets posted.

So, all emissaries of the emperor must have white cats that are capable of befriending homicidal psychopaths?

Complete with a fake city full of challenges, possibly built on the ruins of an enemy city state?! Combine that with the idea of the Gladiator Collars from an earlier post, for maximum, "300 men and women enter, 1 couple leaves!"

Actually, no there doesn't, not from us anyway. We were asked to provide ideas that were excesses of money and magic that would exemplify the decadence of a far reaching Empire that has used great magic in the past to extend it's borders and insure safety, but that is now settling and sagging...

A couple of things: Fabricate and stone shape still requires you to make an appropriate craft check. The most life-like statue will be one of a live person. Not many mages seeking power or prestige focus on Craft: Sculpting. Between charming monsters with stoning abilities and metamagics...

The Walking Compact Having heard, despite the best efforts of his advisors, of the problems on the fringes of the empire, the Emperor has tasked his engineers and magi to construct 4 golem colossi. Not only shall each be a grand representation of the Emperor, but embedded in their chests...

The Causeway Beautification Project The roads of the Empire are it's arteries and veins, keeping it alive and healthy. As such, they must be beautiful, resilient, and awe-inspiring. The emperor, entranced by a beautiful flowering vines gifted by a foreign diplomat for his gardens, decrees that...

The Great Air Canal While many of the cities of the Empire are river or sea ports, shipborne traffic still needs to avoid river hazards and sail around coasts to get between them. In an effort to improve trade, communication, and the speed with which the navy can be deployed, the Emperor has...

I give you, The Rope of Transference (because despite my stinginess, in my 13 year campaign, they got a LOT of magic they outgrew, or were beyond when they got it): The Rope of Transference (Constant Item, Min Research 2 Weeks, DC 40) Lesser: Transfer Magic Arms and Armor: Allows Transfer of...

It's ok, you can try to turn them into mucilage week after next. They are just prolonging their inevitable demise at the hands of the gruesome monsters beyond the boundaries of the Empire's wards.

I wish you statistical impossibilities of only the best kind.

Poor, poor Red Shirted Grey Guard in the hall... Regarding not making the former PC undead. What about making it the necrotic cyst egg sac for the undead beholder? So, when they take the body down, it bursts open with dozens of tumorous little mini-beholderkin eyeballs? So that even if the...

Some additional thoughts: Rather than collapse the ceiling, which would likely cause more difficult terrain, make the undead difficult: 1) Toiva's Body - not just animated, but as a doppelganger, give it the ability to Leech Dailies from the PCs on a hit (target Will - the horror of being...
