[QUOTE="Ancalagon, post: 6986222, member: 23"] So I'm running this campaign and the party (level 3) are exploring forested ruin. A small encounter kept them busy for the end of one session and over half of another. They found a well with a chest at the bottom and mysteriously clear water. Here are my notes, cleared up a bit for clarity's sake: * artefacts in Yoon Suin are not uber powerful items, but unique "experimental" magical devices that require experimentation to operate properly. They are valuable as curios, or sometimes for their powers themselves. The party was unable to figure out *what* the "monster" inside was, but eventually filled the well using their sole magical item: a decanter of endless water. They "attacked" the surface of the water which drew the very aggressive eels to the surface, then smashed the side of the well. On land the eels got covered with dirt (ie visible) and were easily dispatched. They then decided to wait for the water to drain back into the water table to fetch the chest... but of course all this racket attracted attention... This is the short of it. The long of it was a series of experiments and hare-brained schemes to get to the chest. Hilarious and the party had a great time. I thought I would pass it on to you :) [/QUOTE]
