(Actually, knowing my group, they'd think either "free xp" or "that sounds reasonable" - but they're a bunch of greedy, soulless athiests).  As for the terrain itself.  It's a one-shot adventure, and one-shots are usually rather silly.  So why not have the option to animate the statue?  And then, of course, have it go on a rampage through brazil, Godzilla-style?   Imagine having Christ trying to swat off the PCs riding him. I'd also possibly include eye-laser-beams.  Because if you're going to go this route, you need to go all the way.  Basically, that'd be my finale scene - with earlier scenes involving brazilian street gangs that have been enhanced by Llloth's power that like to ride racing motorcycles and throw molotov cocktails, demon-possessed brazilian death squads that now have access to necrotic magic, secretive devils battling the PC on half-sinking river barges, and some sort of giant animal swarm in the jungle.  Spiders, most likely.My two cents.</blockquote>
