My PC's have been Hired by a disguised Rule-Of-Three to deliver 3 items to 3 destinations in one night. From the Black Sails I had them deliver a completely spontaneously made up plant called a Ethereal Death root (it eats Undead and is partially incorporeal ala blink) to the Mortuary. It got loose and they had to catch it before it ate too many of the Faction members. Needless to say my PC's ended up grappling a skeleton to use as bait, chased it up to the top of the roof in a rainstorm and nearly fell to their own deaths... I'll admit it was a totally impromptu adventure, but heck it served as a good hook to start off with. Ok so here's part two, and the request for some input. They must deliver (insert) from Orridi Malefin at the Mortuary to the Tower of the Wyrm and Factol Malin (yep I'm running retro PS). I'm thinking Malin needs a way to stall death as he knows Alisohn Nilesia means to write him in the dead book. So he goes to the one person most intouch with death... a priestess who worships the very concept!!! Eventually I want the PC's to help Malin skip town. In fact I think Factol Malin needs to make a reappearance in the updated Sigil! We barely knew him.

Have it be able to loose 1 permanent hit point to gain 25 temporary ones that last for just a minute or so like the armor of the ventadari had in dragon annual 1.

"What is a berk, and what do you mean don't mess with the Lady?" as for the item: how about an item that is activated when the wearer's hitpoint reach below 0. Insead of dying, the wielder is automatically stabilized and is affected by a feign death spell. Nilesia will believe she succeded, and Malin can flee and hopefully disappear. Or maybe even better: an item that does absolutely nothing. After all, don't trust a dustman not to let you die.

And IIRC Mallin was sold to the fiends, maybe from the Vault... Hmmm? Ah my PC's are Bladeling Fighter-Cipher Drow Ranger (Planar Hunter)-Indep Aasimar Sorcerer-Signer Tiefling Rogue-Fated Bariaur Druid-Godsmen one TBD
