I don't know, Knowe ...

... sorry, I just had to say that. I am not sure precisely where the Clock Tower is, just that it is
a primary artery down to the bad places under the city :-)

Looked it up ... pg 319 ... in Oldtown ... Map on pg 313 ...

One of the most recognizable structures in the north part of
Oldtown, the Clock Tower was built at the height of the Empire
almost two hundred years ago and boasts...

Not sure where the clock tower is.... havent read that far or taken notice of it I guess.

my players would make the assumption that the demon was somehow associated with time.... (time demon?) since it occupied a watch as well as a clock.

Not a bad idea.

I was thinking that the shard would work pretty well.... Zavere could request the party come back to his place, show them the shard and comment on how it went from a amethyst purple to a wispy black.... (I...

I just had the most random idea.

What if the demon is drawn to that clock that seems to play a part in most every DM log I read ?

What if the demon takes refuge in the Clock Tower ?!

Even temporarily as it builds strength ... what a great spot to inhabit and quietly watch a steady stream
(or perhaps somewhat less than that) of strong young adventurers descend to the Giant's Steps and beyond !
Maybe one will return with another suitable...

I didn't mean hire, but the hired assassin paying for waitress etc. for information. But those chrystals sound like a cool idea!

I think if I use the assassin, the balacazars wouldn't likely make the hire right outside the room of the PC's, the family are professionals and I guess I just envision a hiring of a hit to be done in a different fashion.

I read somewhere (no idea where, could be another campaign journal, or could be a book) an idea that I liked where a person used a psicrystal and imprinted an image of
a target (what they looked like) onto the item directly from their mind. I think it...

If the assassin(s) are just a bit more powerful than the party, and are relying on the surprise for sure kill, luck could be a factor; A PC taking a leak outside Ministrel (or outside a tavern near where pc's live) could hear someone getting paid for information about location of pc's room, maybe even putting something in their food.

Other than luck, players could get favor of a spirit... Maybe even Linele, who's soul was purified by the shard when she was killed in the...

I'm toying with the idea that the demon inside the watch will try to possess the shard. Now the party is still fairly low level but I was considering some other ideas to get them going until the shard can be dealt with by the party at a later time.

Since the party sold the watch to Linnech, perhaps Zavere or the Lady could ask for the watch back as they need it to reconstruct the prison to entrap the demon again. This could be problematic as Linnech now has a dead watch, and...

If your game is going to Banewarrens and you want to include the demon, maybe the demon possesses someone important and is actually behind sending players to Banewarrens? If the possessed character is hanging near players, (s)he could claim to have sources that can track the demon down and shove tips about demon's whereabouts, trying to get players to do different things for him - including getting him something from Banewarrens (or just to clear it up for him).

Not a full response here, sorry, but hopefully a little helpful. The rules for possessed objects is in The Book of Vile Darkness.

Ok,

My party was progressing through the adventures in the brick, they rescued Phon, did some investigation to who the murderer could be, captured Toridan Cran, drove off the goblins infesting the haunted house, began working for Zavere at Castle Shard and began the smugglers daughter episode.

Anyway, they handled that whole episode pretty well, handled the girl with extreme caution and ended up bringing her to Lord Zavere who recommended bringing the girl and watch to...
