Depending on your inclinations, this can vary from "drop it off at the temple" to "drop it in Mt. Foom", but the players are unlikely to use it while its around.If you can't count on the PCs getting rid of it, you've got problems.BTW, if they sell it, the likely buyer is unlikely to be a good guy, providing all kinds of potential plot hooks for you.</blockquote>
