Welcome to the Finder’s Archive.\u00a0<\/i>This week’s location is a bit\u00a0different to the ones normally presented, as it is presented here as an encounter location as opposed to the more generic locations and dangers that this column normally presents.<\/p>\n

Hook<\/b><\/p>\n

The PCs come back to a well-known camp, a place where they have spent a fair bit of time, and are liked. This could be the camp of allies (such as a cohort and followers from the Leadership feat) or it could just be a place that they normally hang out in between adventures. In any case, it should be a place that they have some connection to.<\/p>\n

Lay of the Land<\/b><\/p>\n

Read the following out loud:<\/p>\n

The normally busy camp lies completely\u00a0deserted. A forlorn wind blows through the area, causing the tent doors to flap with a sound like a swarm of bats. Pots and pans lie knocked over, their contents having spilled onto the ground. The campfires have gone out, and even the ashes have gone cold long ago.<\/i><\/p>\n

In the center of the camp, a dark obelisk rises, which definitely was not there the last time you were here. Clots of earth still clinging to it, as if it had burst through the ground, like a spear piercing flesh.<\/i><\/p>\n

A faint smell of rot and dirt hang over the entire area, seemingly undisturbed by the wind.<\/i><\/p><\/blockquote>\n

Dangers<\/b><\/p>\n

The Obelisk is a soul siphon – a particularly\u00a0dangerous one. Anyone remaining in the area for more than 24 hours, must make a DC 24 Fortitude saving throw or be affected by a\u00a0magic jar\u00a0<\/i>spell.<\/p>\n

The Obelisk is ALIVE with the souls it has absorbed. It has the stats of an Advanced Stone Golem, with maximum hit points (198 hp). Furthermore, the Obelisk has absorbed a number of souls to fill its reservoir, which can contain 20 souls. (The siphon still keeps using magic jar<\/i>, even if the reservoir is full)<\/p>\n

It can use these souls in 3 ways, each of which is a standard action:<\/p>\n
