The artificers were in a wagon of their own.One of my players has a pixie PC who finds all the weirdest magic items (a whistle that teleports friends to you when you're in trouble; a candle that reveals invisible creatures within 5 ft.), and he saw the perfect opportunity to bust out his "jar full of pit." He flies out and pours ink onto the ground in front of the enemies' wagon, creating a 10 ft. x 10 ft., 20-ft. deep pit. The horses jump it, but the wagon falls into it. And the horses are dragged backward, falling on top of the wagon and trapping the enemies.Then the fighter rips the time bomb off the side of their own wagon, and the wizard mage hands it calmly into the pit. Red giblets explode into the air. I was rather hoping for a high-speed chase and running fight, since by rights the enemies outmatched the party. But hey, portable pit. Can't argue with that. What sorts of weird magic items have players done crazy stuff with in your games?</blockquote>
