[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 7229542, member: 6803337"] How about, digging for the Rod of Seven Parts in this jungle temple has also triggered a curse that makes people in / near the temple get deathly ill. The priests need lots of slaves because they aren't taking good care of their laborers anyways and then the diggers get sick and die. (That part of the Rod was stashed away here BECAUSE of the curse. And it just so happens that having another Part of the Rod gives you an advantage on your 'avoid catching the disease; stay healthy' check.) Instead of strong vines, the passages in the temple are full of mud (or sandstone), which is clearly different from the granite construction. The slaves have to dig/carve foot-by-foot to make progress. There is a really well-hidden village of escaped slaves nearby; the inhabitants are healthy and immune to the disease - and few in number. They are praying to other gods* hoping for a Leader to attack the main camp, punish the slavemasters, and free the slaves. They can provide information to anybody who is against the slavemasters. * Do you have a Cleric in the party? [/QUOTE]
