My adventure is a bastardized version of the Fallen Angel Eberron adventrue from Dungeon 117. The temple was originally a floating golden tower, built by people so full of themselves and in love with their greed that they built this tower and filled it with everything devoted to greed. Then, they get wind of a statue that supposedly brings money and power to all that lay eyes on it, so they seek out the statue and bring it to their floating tower. What they don't realize is that the statue is actually a Radiant Idol (a fallen angel, cursed with the inability to ever fly again, through natural or magic means), somehow turned to stone. They bring it into their tower, and eventually, the magic holding up the tower breaks down and it falls and crashes.The PCs are told of this statue by a wanderer (and presented with the statue's arm, which produces a gold coin whenever struck against a surface), and are told they can get even more treasure if they find the rest of the statue. The thing is, the radiant idol's soul is still quite alive, and is influencing people to do its bidding (such as the wanderer), trying to re-unite itself. The wanderer, however, has his own motivation for telling the PCs- he hopes the PCs will destroy the statue, freeing him from his servitude to the radiant idol. The radiant idol, unknown to the wanderer, WANTS to be destroyed, since that'll hopefully set his soul free to inhabit something other than an immobile statue. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":-P" title="Stick out tongue    :-P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":-P" />So, yeah, you kinda figured it out pretty well.</blockquote>
