Are you sure you didn't mean to say Castle Greyhawk (and more specifically, the Tower of Zagyg there). I'm not familiar with Yggsburgh, and I definitely don't have 60 days to wait <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />I decided to go with the snowglobe idea, and made the snowglobe contain the missing rod piece. A miniaturized version of it. The snowglobe also contained a bee, trapped in a temporal stasis. Why the Zagygian (correct term for follower of Zagyg?) who has the snowglobe in his possession decided to hide the piece (after learing of its importance from Zagyg) in a snowglobe, is anybodys guess.. The bee serves as a guardian. After some chit chat the Zagygian will tell the PC's that they can have the rod piece if they can enter the snowglobe and defeat the bee without breaking the snowglobe.The Zagygian managed to get the rod piece into the snowglobe with help of a spell of Zagyg's making; Zagyg's Magnificient Miniaturization, which turns the caster, along with several other targets into miniature versions of themselves. Now for the fun part; to get the scroll (he has only one left) from the Zagygian they must defeat him in a game of conjurers chess. (I finally get to try out the rules in Complete Warrior)Entering the snowglobe (probably through teleport or dimension door) the bee animates, and attacks them. I had fun with statting out the bee. I applied the Titanic template to a Giant Bee to get more or less good results. A CR 13 encounter for the 11th level party, sounds perfect! The players are crafty, and their characters mighty (*cough* powergamers *cough*), but along with the snowstorm raging inside the snowglobe the fight should be fun and well balanced.Thanks to Henry for sparking this idea! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" /></blockquote>
