I have seen the adventure but do not own it (I own very few of the adventures, but about 90% of all the sourcebooks ever made).  Does anyone know if they ever mentioned the attributes/Name of the Horror bound within it?  Curious for identification purposes.

[Mooncrow]

No, it does not mention either.

[FastJack]

Nope, the most you can get is if you assense the idol. It appears to be a power focus that weaves into the astral as normal, then "veers off at 90 degrees" to what normal idols do.

[The_Gun_Nut]

Hmmm, my only further question would be if it somehow tainted the idol singer's singing or music.

That would (potentially) identify it as Fla-Tra-Lys, the Eater of Music.

[Mooncrow]

I don't think there's a singer in that adventure to test that theory out. 

[The_Gun_Nut]

Must be thinking of a different storyline, then.  Don't recall the run for BD.

[FastJack]

Hmm... the only adventures I remember with singers are Dark Angel, Mercurial, One Stage Before and Total Eclipse.

I just brought up Total Eclipse and I think it's the one you're talking about. The spirit Twilight was trapped in the magical prison in the Australian Outback and was freed by Sam Verner's actions in Find Your Own Truth.

In SR4 terms, I'm pretty sure that the Demon in the Bottle is, in fact, an Imp (per Threats 2/Running Wild).

Very cool old-school adventure.

[Darkeus]

Yeah, the Bottled Demon is most definitely a very powerful and very old Imp.  It may be the baddest of the most bad-ass Imps in existence as a matter of fact.  I have done much research into this and that is the only conclusion I have come up with. 

[Casazil]

Heh cool sounds like it'll be fun to run my group through.

[Alyred]

Agreed, it appears they made the rules for imps with the bottle as a template.

It's incidentally one of my favorite adventures to run, with DNA/DOA.

[Dead Monky]

That would (potentially) identify it as Fla-Tra-Lys, the Eater of Music.

Well, that would at least be better than it holding Chantrel's Horror or Nemesis.  *shudder*

DNA/DOA written by Dave Arenson the one time we brought a D&D master to Shadowrun

Nice! I never realized that.

While I don't know about any potential "Horror" links to the Item form bottled demon; I ran in it years and years ago with one of my mages.
     It sucked out a point of magic and made me make it "My Preicous". lol.
My whole team had to take me down and get it from me. At the time we ran it I wasn't aware of the SR/ED link because I hadn't bought/played ED and didnt want to. I later bought the module but just stuck it in "The Archive" cause Im not a GM.
     So, I cannot comment on what Links That one had,.....Buuuut you might wanna look at this next paragraph a little closer.

2009 Shadowrun Tournament
Idol Threats
Twenty years ago it gained the attention of two dragons, now it wants your attention. This year’s Gen Con tournament revels in Shadowrun’s twenty year history, while it manages to pack all new surprises into the mix. All teams advance, so plan on playing in both sessions on both Friday and Saturday Night.

I read that descrip when I was getting ready for Gencon that year and just Knew they were referencing BD. Turns out I was right. And yes there is a link in there. But I'm not gonna say more until I know it's cool, they wanted it kept under wraps if i remember correctly.
