Members of the local thieves guild invaded the home of a magic merchant. The DM had run this same campaign with the same startup several times. My partner and where the only two players ever to check out the ale barrel in the corner. Find a relic magic item that was slotted for the campaigns first major villian, bringing us into conflict WAY sooner than normal. The mage identifies the item: Box of Lu-Chow. Can control, imprision, release, destory undead, gain three of four command words but don't know which does what She sends a ghoul to retreive it. The ghoul strikes and freezes the cleric. The mage panics, having exhausted his combat spells and uses the box. A minor artifact. Gets lucky and choose the "command undead" command word. Hm, what do I do with a ghoul. I know. Is there a cleric in town high enough level to auto destory ghouls? Yes the local Bishop. Command the ghoul to go to the Bishops house, knock on the door and do nothing else. Acolyte answers door, screamed, slams door. A few minutes later the Bishop opens the door and obliterates the ghoul. Newspaper headline the next morning: "Ghoul commits suicide". The campaign gets weird from there.</p></blockquote><p></p>
