He smells a bit. You then blow another wish with the Resurrection effect. "I wish Glendale could pay its taxes." - Assuming it's less than 25,000gp that one shouldn't be a problem, although the king might wonder where the gold statue (or other single item, of significant worth) came from and so could lead to more trouble.Oh course a wish might be able to fulfil those desires closer to the way you expect, but then there is a greater chance of things screwing up. Like your family ending up alive and well but still in their graves.I agree with the principle of using your wish for more campaign specific goals, just I'd be a bit more careful in how I worded them.</blockquote>
