Message: <blockquote data-quote="der_kluge" data-source="post: 916274" data-attributes="member: 945">Continuing the discussion about my tomb of the lizardman king.  At the bottom, I'm going to have an iron golem with a rod of <blank>, with two charges.His goal is to head down to the chamber where the body of the lizardman king and his queen are.  Activating the rod (through a command word, perhaps), he will resurrect the king and queen, so they can thrive once more. (hence the two charges)Now, what I was thinking, plot-wise, is that the land became frozen, through an ice age.  With his people dying, and no chance for survival, the tomb was built to house him and his people so that they could once again come back after the land was more inhabitable.Now, technically how to do that is stumping me.  I could give the golem a rod of true resurrection, or a rod of wish.  It seems that either would be capable of returning the lizardman king back to life.  Alternately, a rod of miracle should be able to do it as well.  Technically, miracle only reproduces spells of 8th level or lower, but I'm willing to allow it to cast true resurrection.  A minor point.I prefer the miracle/wish over res since the PCs could use it to bypass an exceedingly difficult vault puzzle should they be unable to solve it through mental means.  Res won't do that.  Normal resurrection's duration is too short, also.But, I need some ideas here. If you were a young, vibrant lizardman king, and saw all around you, your people freezing to death, your food lines disappearing, and all hope lost.  You construct a vast chamber, and you house some servants in stasis, and unborn eggs in stasis so that the people can be reborn.  Lich-hood isn't an option for numerous reasons.Do you put yourself in a temporaral stasis?Kill yourself so you can be resurrected?Or something else that is reversable through a wish?Or something else?</blockquote>
