My party has just killed the Flameskull in Wave Echo Cave. So far the Black Spider is dead, the Spectator has poofed back to its home plane, and the Wraith has been killed (again). This is as far as we've gotten, just for context and to hopefully keep people from spoiling anything else in the cave in the comments...
Now... I, as a player, know what happens with Flameskulls after you kill them (they regenerate unless you dispel magic or holy water their remains). My character does not and what I'm proposing is not based upon that.
In the room that the Spectator occupied, there is a brazier of GREEN FLAME that will imbue magic onto an item for a limited amount of time. The brazier is apparently not up to its original power level due to the many years since the mine was operational.
My character is thinking that if he were to take the remnants of the Flameskull (which was a floating skull surrounded by GREEN FLAME) and put them into the brazier, it would do something AWESOME...
My question to everyone here:
What should that awesome thing be?
Some options I have thought of and shared with my DM include:
a) not a damned thing happens;
b) immediate reanimation of the Flameskull and (likely) my death;
c) the brazier becomes recharged/supercharged;
d) the Flameskull is reanimated and supercharged, likely meaning my death;
e) the Flameskull is reanimated but its programming is wiped and it becomes my new little floating buddy!
What does the forum think would be other things that could happen? I will share these with my DM as its his final call.
