In that case, I'm going to pick up on that idea and say that the limited illusion magic that the PC has was a precursor to more serious Temporal magic the Master was in to. This is then going to mean that the ruin in the Swamp is going to be a Wizard's Tower - but when I get round to designing it I can think about some fun ways of using a Temporal theme to make it interesting.Hmmm... how about rooms where a swinging pendulum appears, but the pendulum is from 1000 years ago? Or a sequence of fire blast that can only be turned off if you journey back in time?How about rooms with doors that open into other rooms that haven't been built yet?YOINK! Oh yes, the PC's will have to do a ritual, and the bad guys will be trying to stop them. That sounds like a great idea for a full 3 hour session.I meant in the campaign's time-line. But it has just occoured to me that maybe when the Wizard's tower was built it wasn't in a swamp, so as you climb it and look out of the windows you can see the land as it used to be. I need to go back and read Silver on the Tree by Susan Cooper to get some ideas for this sort of adventure.I'll have to see what weapons or implements the party choose before I can make a final decision on this. But an item once used to injure a relative of the Swamp Spirit is a neat idea - perhaps the Swamp wants the item removed?I'm probably going to go Lizardman (why waste a classic trope? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />) but Bad Fey is a good idea for further development. And there should certainly be a Hag involved somewhere, too.</blockquote>Lover's Cliff, a haunted spot above town overlooking [landmark], where forbidden lovers jumped to their death. Flowers and gifts are left to appease their ghosts, and now it is used by a well-intentioned friar to teach young paramours the lessons of chastity and patience. At night it serves as the trysting spot for a young noblewoman and the ghost of the youth... he hungers for flesh and she for secrets from the underworld.[/quote]And YOINK! again. The Swamp is close to an area of Mountains, so that'll fit nicely.Thanks for all the assistance![/QUOTE]
