Same campaign, the characters had recovered the necromantic artifact they had been sent to find by the cities Cardinal. During the recovery of the artifact, one of their beloved NPC's sacrificed himself so the group could flee the evil machine priest. Artifact and decapitated corpse in tow they fled back to the city. Once there, they found the city had been captured during their absense by an evil dwarf at the head of an army. So they slunk into the outskirts of town and laid low in the monstary there. While they were there, they took the evil artifact out of the portable hole to show everybody that they had indeed suceeded in recovering it.They forgot that one of the artifacts powers was to spontaneously reanimate the dead around it. So when they go to check on the NPC's body later in the on, it was missing. They tracked his corpse until he walked into a rather large river and disappeared. The howls of rage from the PC's were wonderful as the truth of what THEY had done to their "friend" dawned on them. I loved it, because I really didn't have to do anything. They did it all themselves without realising that they were doing it until after the fact. They spent the better part of the next four adventures doing side missions to try and find the errant body of their friend. Just a few sessions ago they finally recovered his body and soul, and brought him back. Now he's dealing with the after math of being undead for the better part of the last year. The guilt the PC's feel is truely wonderful! <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /></blockquote>
