[QUOTE="CRG, post: 254985, member: 5867"] First, I'd say it must be destroyed by something that is at a minimum imbued with the very essence of another god. Here's a thought. Legend lore reveals that there is a small pit, the Chasm of Woe, where the artifact can be destroyed. Casting it down into the pit and into the slime at the bottom will cause it to decay and, after a time, be destroyed. This pit and the thing within is guarded by a bizarre group of goblin / hobgoblin / bugbear cultists (class the hell out of their leadership...blackguards...rogues...and OOZEMASTERS!!!!). The cultists are a growing threat in the region where the pit lies, indeed none knew of the pit's or goblin's existence before they began raiding the countryside. If the party wishes to destroy this artifact, they must first contend with the goblin fortress - approach, infiltrate, etc. The goblins will have taken many prisoners and have a series of rituals where they cast nearly everything into the pit - living creatures, magical items they can not use, etc. The generally accepted opinion is that the goblins feed the "thing" in order to give it power and return it to its true shape and destiny. Further research tells the party that the pit is rumored to be near the location where Moander met his fate. It is unclear what kind of creature or hazard is in the bottom of the pit, and also unclear what would happen if an artifact of this magnitude were fed to the thing. Swap one evil thing for another? Dracolich for a Moander-clone? [/QUOTE]
