[QUOTE="Templetroll, post: 2520678, member: 2201"] In one campaign I played in the GM had a Room of the Jars. It was 10 gold jars that you would choose one, reach in and *something* might happen. Sometimes it was *nothing*, sometimes you would find a small item, sometimes your hand would get stuck, sometimes alignment would change, sometimes your limbs would change or your head blow up. One guy got sucked into a jar and then about a year later, another player pulled that character out of the jar. The storyline was the lich that built the place liked to watch people deliberately tempt fate by using the jars. Bringing this back on topic, I had a CE cleric bring a cage with 20 baby chicks and a spool of thread. He was tying the thread to their legs and dipping them into each jar. We got a ring, lost a couple of chicks to unknown things, had a puff of smoke come out of one jar and the thread was charred, and one interesting occurrance. the Chick went in and came out easily, but chirping like crazy. The druid did speak with animals and it was screaming, "kill you! Kill you all!" It had gone from a neutral animal to CE! My character appreciated that so he undid the thread and let it out the door into the dungeon to wreak what havoc it could. Again, about a year later, we're facing some fould thing from the Abyss astride a weird mount, a gigantic, Eeeevil, soul-eating chicken! :] It was a nice tough fight and certainly well-deserved damage. Another option, have some young druidic worshippers with no powers follow the party and try to rescue the pig(s). could be an entertaining encounter. [/QUOTE]
