[QUOTE="Chroma, post: 910785, member: 250"] Back in my old 2nd Edition campaign: The PCs were occasionally fighting against these cultists who worshipped a vile, undead god. After defeating one bunch, they found a wonderful ring of regeneration and decided to give it to the party cleric, a staunch warrior against the undead, with the thought that "As long as the cleric is alive, the rest of us are okay." Many other adventures occur, many horrible manglings that the ring dutifully repaired, many foes defeated, many times the ring saves the party, many times death thwarted. The ring was a prized possession. Then, near the climax of the campaign, the party is finally confronting the leader of these cultists in his fortress on the Plane of Shadows. A massive stand-off occurs, and the enemy leader tells the party to join in the worship of his god, to revel in his power, or be destroyed. The noble cleric shouts out that he denies the power of this evil god and wants nothing to do with it. "But my Master's power has saved you so many times," the evil cleric intoned. "Be then as you would if not for my Master's blessings..." And the ring broke... and every mortal wound it had sealed (that I had kept a record of) split open... Quite a shock for the poor players... a simple golden ring causing so much trouble... [/QUOTE]
