Charm Person and the Carnifex (spoilers)
Posted: Sun Jan 12, 2014 7:23 am
First and obvious point, charm person is extremely powerful and has yet again foiled the 'final' encounter of an adventure of mine, this time Jewels of the Carnifex.
So during the encounter with Azazel one of our wizards charmed 6 of the Swords of the Pious AND Azazel himself. After questioning him for a while they are likely to try and leave the temple or at least rest in the temple. I believe they still might try and seal Carnifex using Azazel but I'm wondering if what happens if Azazel were to be 'taken' out of temple. I figure his bond with the ichor vitae may prevent him from traveling too far from it even while being magically compelled, perhaps it would kill him even thus making him incapable of following any such order.
Some other general questions about this scenario:
1. If the PCs destroy the jewels and give a suitable sacrifice what happens to Azazel and the Pious?
2. How high is Azazels intelligence? I estimated that it would be in the range that would allow him another Will save versus the charm in 3 days (19 result on the spell check)
3. Would Azazel sacrifice one of his Pious or the Justicar to seal the Carnifex and would that even work (after the jewels are destroyed of course)?
