[QUOTE="Endur, post: 3324052, member: 3346"] Scott, I used the scroll in that adventure. It didn't actually turn out that bad. Remember it has a large burst radius and lower hit dice creatures die first. In my case, several animal companions and mounts were slain. Only one PC died to the scroll. Also, the scroll is placed there for three reasons. First, to give the PCs a hint that there is something of vastly more necromantic power around beside the minion with the scroll. Two, to let the PCs know that they are totally outclassed by the true powers of the realm. So they don't go directly challenging the true power and get a TPK before they are ready. Three, to add some terror and horror. If, for instance, one of the PCs is infected with a supernatural disease that does something nifty after the PC dies, and the monsters aren't capable of actually slaying a PC in combat, this is one way you can ensure a PC dies and the nifty effect happens.
