[QUOTE="jgsugden, post: 8047255, member: 2629"] Rime of the Frontmaiden is a horror and secrets story. It is intended to evoke a sense of doom and catastrophe. The scroll is perfectly in line with that concern. As for it ruining a campaign - it costs a minimum of 50,000 GP to make and 25 weeks (as it is consumable). If the PCs pooled all of their treasure, they should, proportionally, be able to accumulate that amount at around 12th or 13th level. Then, one of them needs to retire - for a half year- to make the scroll while the other PCs adventure and advance. By the time they complete it, they're going to be around 15th level... at the lowest … and for all their sacrifices, they can summon the Tarrasque once and not be able to control it. Meanwhile, a 9th level party can use Divinations to find it and just attack it to wake it up and cause mischief. All of this for a beast that can't do anything at range other than throw stuff.
