Message: <blockquote data-quote="Harzel" data-source="post: 7436406" data-attributes="member: 6857506">Few ideas -Possibly a different (but no less unfriendly) mini-boss has vanquished the medusa and now occupies Nangalore.  The new party could (maybe should) find evidence of the medusa's demise before reaching the new boss.  This makes for an interesting experiment:will the players respond with inappropriate optimism ("Yay, we don't have to fight the medusa again!"), or appropriate paranoia ("OMG, what could have taken out the medusa?") ?Alternatively, the new resident/invader might have imprisoned or enslaved the medusa*.  When the new party enters the area, perhaps some surviving eblis servants approach the party seeking help to free their mistress.  In return for her freedom and help defeating her captor, the medusa might grant the party the access they need (unless they piss her off, as I assume the original party did).*Possibly by the subterfuge of obtaining the urn containing the medusa's lover's ashes and threatening its destruction unless the medusa complies.  In this case, the party may 'just' need to locate and wrest back the urn from wherever the interloper has it secured.Of course, you'd need to come up with the identity and motivation of the invader.</blockquote>
