[QUOTE="Heathen72, post: 2823985, member: 7029"] Thanks for that, guys. I do have pretty good idea of the background of the dungeon [B][I]Stone Angel[/I][/B], but I didn't want to put too many details about it in the initial post for fear of scaring people away. (Short and sweet usually get's more responses, I find.) This all get's complicated, but not, I hope, overcomplicated - the players have a good understanding of most of the background, and this shouldn't confuse them. The demon in question was Sezemu, the last and vilest of the of the Shadow Lords. He was ensnared after the Thousand Years of Pain' (in which the Shadow Lords ruled the world) by the first Priests of the new Gods - who rose to free mankind from the Dark Lords' dominion. The construct in question was one of 5 very powerful guardian statues the Shadow Demons created to surround the the old 'Necropolis'. The Shadow Demons despised the undead and kept them all trapped within a mile radius in the south of the city. When the God's came they killed almost all the demons, as well as the undead, before finally trapping Sezemu to live forever in agony, held by own creation.
