[QUOTE="James McMurray, post: 392898, member: 743"] [b]Re: I used to look down on high fantasy...[/b] Thanks! That's good to hear. I know we've had fun playing the games. Its definitely the highest level campaign I've ever partaken in (as well as being the first campaign I've ever ran that lasted more than a few weeks. [list] That was their names in the Return to the Tomb of Horrors. I never even knew they were pulled form somewhere else. I've read some of the Chronicles, but it was a long time ago and I don't know if I got that far along in them. Makes me want to pick them up again though, just to read more about Absalom, Harrow, and Blaesig. :) Yeah, I wish they'd done it too. They started down that path, then got distracted. A well, c'est la vie. The party doesn't know it, but Raffi has quite a few surprises up his sleeve. The sad part is that they'll probably not find out about them (at least not during this campaign). It hasn't worked against most things. Of course, the Moilian zombies fall to it, but that's after they get beaten to less than 0 hit points and then full attacked with it for a few rounds. There is very little in the remainder of the adventure that it will affect. [/list] The Mask definitely detected as evil. Fokurt put it on because he knew the party needed the key. His self-proclaimed title is "fodder". He is basically playing a Nodwick type of henchan. The player is enjoying it though, so there's no problems there. As for the group leaving him in the Doctor's hands, its part of your concerns voiced bout high fantasy. The group really did hope that the doctor could remove the mask somehow, and figured that if it failed, the mask probably wouldn't come along for the ride during a bodiless casting of True Resurrection. Well, due to the party's overuse of them, 5,000gp gems are pretty scarce. True Artists can create them, but it costs the party 7,500gp.

I can't wait either, but would you mind terribly removing the reference to it? My players come here and I'd like that to remain as much of a surprise as possible for them (the ones that don't own RttToH at least :) ). Sounds great! Just one quest... What is "Navero"? [/QUOTE]
