Hey! Let's make another bad module!

[Inconsequenti-AL]

Past the secret door is a 30 X 40 featureless room.

Once all the PCs are in the room, Kobolds with nets ambush them. The kobolds are so well hidden that PCs don't get spot or listen checks to notice them. They are immune to all divination magic - such as detect evil. The nets are covered in sleeping poison. The nets automatically hit and there is no save against the poison. The poison is so 'poisony' that it even affects people otherwise immune to poison. When the kobolds attack, the PCs hear the sounds of a far off locomotive.

The PCs awake to find...

An animated gazebo on a grassy knoll nearby.

Was my post just ignored?

Apparently. My mistake.

The Celestials seem to be reciting, from memory, the D&D PHB 2nd edition.

Now you are moving from "bad" to "sadistic."

Thanks MuffinMan!

Suddenly, a Colossal Balor falls out of the sky. The PCs are forced to watch as Thomas battles it. If they try to help, a mysterious forcefield prevents them from doing anything.

During the battle, the gazebo grows to fifty times its usual size and eats the entire knoll, Balor, Thomas, and all. Thomas survives by hacking his way out with the +126 Hackmaster of Godslaying the DM gave him, and thanks the PCs for coming this far. "Time to get on with the adventure!" he admonishes them. "That Plo'ht Device won't rescue itself!"

Incidentally, this being a bad module, you spelled "grassy gnoll" wrong, you know.

 

[AGFlynn]

Suddenly, from the ruined gazebo on the grassy knoll, a gnoll covered in grass pops into existence. "You'll never find the Plo'ht device now, Thomas MacGuffin," it sneers. "It's well hidden between the pages of that original 1974 copy of Blackmoor you lost when your family moved to Indianapolis 15 years ago."
The grassy gnoll curses the PCs with a curse (Will Wheaton Save DC 50) that curses them to curse - every utterance they now make is profane. Which is bad, because Fane is an evil deity who hates anyone who says anything nice about him. Thomas is immune because he has a special anti-profanity button on his trousers he was awarded by Anita Bryant and Tipper Gore.

(By the way, if the players remembered to search the lava for loot, they should have the AXE OF MORGOSH now.)
