The most obvious thing to do is have the NPC be replaced with a doppleganger minion of your next big bad so that the sending stones end up passing along disinfo (splitting the party, giving wrong directions, getting them to discard a magic item under the false belief it is cursed, etc)

It is frustrating that Couchfucker doesn't want this and for the wrong reasons.
one of the largest hydrogen fuel furnaces in the world
Hydrogen powered shit is dumb. Like, super dumb. It is nearly impossible to store the shit without it corroding the tanks, fittings, whatever. So maintenance cost will be a killer in the long run. Nevermind the whole Hindenburg-esque possibility of the plant. Worse than that, unless that hydrogen is coming from renewable sources (aka. "green" hydrogen), it will actually be way worse for the environment. Most of the shitty sources are actually fossil fuels (aka. "blue" hydrogen). And guess who would love to make and sell hydrogen from fossil fuels and is therefore lobbying for government projects for this kind of shit? That's right, our "friends" Big Oil.
Hossenfelder discusses this in her video Hydrogen Will Not Save Us. Here's Why. https://youtu.be/Zklo4Z1SqkE
So yeah. I hate agreeing with Couchfucker about this one very specific point.
I think "slur" also requires a component of direct offense for it mean anything. I don't think it is valid to be offended for somebody else if that somebody else isn't actually offended. If I make up a slur on the spot denigrating some aspect of your person that you do not find offensive (eg. Flumplenook - for a person who's a bit clumsy), is it really a slur?
So if you call someone retarded, and they do not have the mental faculties to be offended, is it really a slur?
For slurs to have any meaning, any power, they need to be understood and internalized as offensive.
There’s really only two kinds of Republican: The evil ones who spread these lies intentionally, and the stupid ones who believe this dumb shit.
They are getting harder to find, you know, with all the Russian money drying up
You should stop. The wikimedia foundation has all the money it needs to fund wikipedia perpetually. The endowment was met years and years ago. Your money is being spent on parasitic non-profit management class nonsense things.

I'm glad you're doing your part in the fight against the machines!
holy shit, everyone on the enterprise is RIPPED
Must be tiring manipulating the new ship controls AR UI
Only because they massively displaced a shitload of local business. Same with Amazon. If you have very little skills, where else are you going to work?

You're not wrong, however, they can have their toys back after they figure out what happened and rescue the NPC. It's a good hook and requires them to think about spending some of their treasure to shore up their home defenses. For all we know, their players are murder hobos and this is well deserved comeuppance.
