The PCs see what looks like a patch of water moving through the ground towards them. They can't outrun it. As the "water" draws near, each and every inanimate object animates and begins moving around in a listless, largely aimless fashion. This includes all of the PCs' gear. Clothing might struggle to get free of the PC, or might give the PC a hug. Weapons might pull free of their sheathes and flop around like fish. The "water" effect is caused by every individual particle of dirt for 5 feet down animating and squirming around. I'd treat this as being caught in a bog or swamp as far as movement goes. Once the PCs stop moving, the spell passes over them, continuing off into the distance.232) An alternative to the above. A living Animate Object spell has gained sentience and moves from one object to another until it finds an object it likes, then stays there. Imagine the fun if it's favorite object is a PC's helmet, doubly so if it's impossible to dispel. The PC would have to reason with the spell, offering it alternative places to inhabit.233) A salamander (or other suitable extra-planar creature) was summoned by a wizard on the Day of Mourning and was protected from the disaster by the Wizard's containment wards. The Wizard's wards broke down long ago, allowing the salamander to roam around as it pleases, but the salamander has no way to get back home. It offers a reward to the PCs if they can somehow get it out of this dead, dangerous, grim wasteland and back to its lovely firepits.</blockquote>
