I think folks forget to put a dose of stupid/incompetent behavior--most crime (acc to police) is some form of stupid/incompetent--I love to have Orcs & Goblins alternate between settting deadly traps and stupid/incompetent traps--I think its more realistic--in this case its probably a midlevel mage struggling to get the summoning done right (or say teleport) and just thought it never worked (maybe afterwards he's laying low)and maybe what drew the elemental was a gem that the hafling owned or the rogue stole or someone traded for at some huge outdoor market, they just don't suspect its a Gem of Fire Elemental Summoning, they think its a 50 gp Garnet (never having done Detect Magic, speakin of stupid/incompetent )</blockquote>
