[QUOTE="SnowleopardVK, post: 5845997, member: 6677945"] Ethshyadenthale, formerly a NE Elf Lich Wizard (Necromancer) 20 and Adandy Kenan, formerly a LG Half-Celestial Aasimar Cleric/Monk 17/3. The system being Pathfinder. The 5 PCs had worked together to trap a "only one in existence at a time", life-destroying monster at the centre of a heavily-fortified demiplane (that cost [b]millions[/b] of gold and a lot of favours to build and load with traps, guards, magic, and monsters) which they called Pandora. Eth had already gotten paranoid about the limitations of his lifespan, falling from N to NE and undergoing the Lichification process, hiding it from his team. Until now. The wizard got obsessed with protecting Pandora at all costs, growing hostile and mistrustful of his former teammates. Eventually the cleric called him out on this, discovered his lich status and evil alignment and the two of them fought to the death. The lich won. Then knowing that the other three would definitely find out what had happened, he went after them, intending to turn them into powerful undead under his control and then resume guarding the plane himself. He lost that fight and was destroyed. Of the other three, the Rogue/Ranger/Fighter Shark Lord blamed herself for not seeing it coming and went into self-imposed exile, and the Cavalier/Barbarian blamed the weakness of his teammates and challenged the last remaining of the five, the Druid/Sorcerer/Mystic Theurge for the position of sole guardian of the plane. He lost, leaving the theurge as the only one of the original five still guarding Pandora, though he and the rogue are still alive, leading a crusade against Hell and adventuring solo in a gas giant near the far end of the solar system respectively. The dead cleric is now a Star Archon, still allied with the theurge but often preoccupied by the affairs of Heaven. The dead lich's obsession was so strong that he rose again as a Winterwight, losing his spellcasting power but still being very powerful. He stands guard where he fell, just outside the door to the very centre of Pandora, acting as a last line of defense, as well as rendering the deepest level of an otherwise good-aligned plane sickeningly evil. And that was the end. These characters have been retired, I'm mapping out Pandora in detail, and maybe one day our group will take a new batch of characters and adventure in this dungeon that we've made. [/QUOTE]
