[QUOTE="Chad Hooper, post: 7392826, member: 6946514"] My players just found a wand that is both a plot point and a pun. Unbeknownst to them, the abbey the cleric wants to reclaim that was over-run and abandoned during a major war a thousand years ago has an unwilling guardian. A Valkyrie was sent to help defend the abbey against the invaders during the war. In a twist of sadistic humor, one of the invading wizards Geased her to "defend the inner sanctum against all comers regardless of intention or faith". Being of the same quasi-Nordic faith that once held the abbey, the cleric would at the very least be emotionally conflicted and or tormented before and after if the PCs were forced to kill said Valkyrie, not to mention it might anger his gods. The wand they just found only has the power to Dispel Magic, but does so a few levels higher than the PCs currently are. IF they can successfully dispel the Geas they will A: perform a great service to the church and the gods of this faith, and B: gain a powerful, potentially life-long ally. As for the pun, well the command word for the Dispel Magic wand is "Emarkleen". Thus, it is a Mr. Clean Magic Eraser:uhoh: [/QUOTE]
