So, in ACKS tonight, while trapped in the treasure room of the Hill Giant Steading, with the giants returned and the party pretty much cornered, the clerics decided to use divination to see if it was safe to use the magic teleportation chain to escape. 

At this point three things happened.
1. I rolled that the divination spell would be misleading. I always play this as another being intercepting the call. So now I know I'm going to lie to the party.
2. The fighter who has jokingly been saying "hail Hextor" for months after being healed by a cleric of Hextor early in the campaign said his character was pleading for guidance from Hextor.
3. I rolled 1d100 to see if Hextor heard his plea. I rolled a 100.

I immediately ruled that his fighter levels converted to anti-paladin levels, his alignment changed to chaotic, and Hextor lovingly wrapped his six arms around his heart. The hairs on the backs of the clerics' necks stood up.

The message I gave for the divination spell said they would be warm and safe if they used the magic chain. So as the giants were stampeding down the stairs, they used the chain and found themselves standing on the edge of the Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl. Without coats or their supplies in a blizzard on top of a mountain.

I found this nicely repainted Avatar of Hextor here:

  1. If they survive the mountains, since I'm sure they won't be heading into the rift, they will be swimming in gold and xp since they stole just about everything of value out of the steading.

    But they need to get back to civilization first.

  2. When you've only got three alignments, lawful evil is just another kind of chaotic. Like Melniboneans.
