“Why are grown-ups always so mean?”
“This game is ass. These mobs are way OP. Finally get something cool built and this happens. I’m uninstalling this sh[death rattle]”
“<most good aligned PC’s name>, dearest, I forgive you.”
“Botheops, tell… hide the key… tell… safe…”
“Haha, it doesn’t hurt anymore. Haha. But now…” *BBEG looks at one of them sadly* “I’m sorry. Try not… to let it…”
At the end of the campaign I have written the BBEG (just a guy tbh) is meant to fall off a cliff into a vat of “godly essence” and magical artifacts. The next campaign opens on him crawling out of the pit as a a lich powered by these artifacts looking for vengeance.
Like some ungodly cross between The Lich from Adventure Time and The Master from Fallout.
This idea has some serious legs if you commit to it
how are you gonna get the vat of godly essence out of the party’s inventory after they tear down every inch of the dungeon and design a crane system to recover it
Each of the artifacts fits into a puzzle for a machine that turns normal people into “gods”. My end game is have them use those items to reverse the process on the created god in the first place making them human again. This drains the essence into the machine and i’m hoping enough damage is taken on the machine thatbit explodes during final combat or is pushed off the cliff or something. I’m happy to yadda yadda to get to the cut scene lol!
Bad guy chuckling in between choking on blood manages to grunt “Well, at least it’s not my problem anymore”.
I played a game where we fought a lieutenant of the BBEG. He was a wizard, so we tossed Silence on him and nailed him with a bunch of other stuff.
The DM mentioned he was trying to say stuff as he died, but who cancels Silence on a wizard you just killed?
“Any last words, scum?”
“Yeah, ‘meteor swarm’”
I like the mental games
Sonething like “My son… forgive me…”, or “Its buried in the…” would drive my party crazy figuring out what they meant
I’m a simple man, I see Brennan, I get in the comments
