Presently using the Hand and eye in my campaign. The eye the players don't know about.
Today they unleashed the hand, and it was picked up by a wizard they don't know (but have his journal) and teleported away.
The hand was hidden in a silvery liquid font. Now here's the take something from somewhere and use it. I took Tomb raider the movie, grabbed the scene for the first part of the triangle and followed most of it's thing to a tee. COmplete with statues and the 6 armed statue. Used a magical tattoo as the key and it went exactly like the movie. Water came out of the bowl, light bursts out, etc.
The pc';s ended up fleeing cause they realized that the statues are all golems.
What's more, a pc's prized sword was left behind, one of the pc's was killed and they got a gem that they were after. Some objectives concluded and some are just plain painful.
Hehehe
