So I ran a score a week ago for my Shadows crew that involved them trying to nick some Spirit Warden artifacts off a super shady seller. One of the things that happened in the session is that the guy running the shop got one of the PCs to put on a ring in order to prevent betrayal. The PCs know there’s two more rings of this kind in a box in that shop.
The score ended with them killing the guy, stealing a bunch of stuff out of his safe, and legging it out of there into the tunnels beneath Duskwall.
I’m trying to think of fun things that the ring could do. I’m drawn to a flesh-eating curse a la Dumbledore but I feel it might escalate very quickly, especially since they’re pretty early on in their campaign. Has anyone got any other ideas for what it could do? A magical tracker? Something that draws demons or spirits to it?
Perhaps you can go the LotR route and have the seller’s ghost bound to the ring and they cannot be destroyed while the ring exists; constantly hunting down the one who wears the ring to possess them and regain life.
Zachary Miller Oh that’s interesting. Lots of potential for things to go wrong.
