The rule is "never underestimate your players to throw you for a loop!" I was afraid of what my players would do with the phylactery. I expected them to just destroy it, and make an enemy of the Ghostlord. They simply grabbed it, put it in a bag and walked to Brindoll!

I am not sure what to do. My first impulse: Have the Ghostlord send a bunch of undead to kill them and get it back during the Battle. Any thoughts?

I have no idea what they plan on doing with it.
