[QUOTE="Arctic Wolf, post: 5856051, member: 6686199"] [MENTION=20323]Quickleaf[/MENTION] : That does sound pretty awesome but not really the thing I am looking for. What I was thinking that before his parents deaths, he was like all kids are, which is trying to make their parents proud of him with his psionic magic since he is very skilled. I want the death of his parents to have caused a breaking point and sent his mental state back to a few years when all he cared about was having fun and this is what shows his *innocence*. How does that sound? Anyways, here is how I plan to do this. Innocence Phase 1: Hide and Seek!- The PCs will do a skill challenge to see if they can hide from him for 10 rounds(?). If they are found then they have to navigate out of the cornfield to get back to the house they are in (there will be a portal). Phase 2: Destroy the Construct- Innocence will summon a *robotic* construct (because who didn't love playing with any sort of robot growing up as a kid :P). which will be infused with his *life essence*. Once they beat it, then they will get the scripted event I have planned :). Beauty Phase 1: Free the slaves?- I really like the idea of attempting to do a skill challenge on the some of the townfolks, so the PCs can either save them, or kill them (I know a few who will). Phase 2: Fight Beauty- Depending on how the PCs free the slaves I will make her a bitch or a bit easier. If they kill slaves, she will be easier since she will think that she has found some new slaves to take their place. If they free them, then she will be harder to deal with (I can always change the way it works but I figured I would go backwards lol). Insanity Phase 1: The unknown warlock- I want a fight against a star-pact warlock who is insane. Pretty simple and I figure after the first 2 would be welcome since as I mentioned before, my group likes to outright kill stuff lol Phase 2: Far Realm Menace- The warlock tells the group he was sent here by Ilsensine, god of the illithid, and then tranforms into an illithid and takes on the group with improved psychic powers. Justice Phase 1: The PCs are captured by *judges* from the town and sent to trial and must defend themselves with a skill challenge because they are the ones believed to have kidnapped them when it was Beauty. Phase 2: The PCs discover that Justice has set things up and must fight him and his minions and realize that afterwards he joined Destruction (Kikin) to get justice for the assassin in the group because he left the guild. Destruction Phase 1: The beginning- Normal fight, he thinks that the PCs are trash and doesn't bother to go all out. His recharge ability can drain a healing surge since it fits the theme of famine well. Phase 2: Burn Everything- Kikin is pissed and uses his ability, basically his attacks all do blasts and bursts. Phase 3:The Towering Inferno- Kikin goes all out and his body breaks like porcelain and his true form is a fire elemental(dragon, was thinking this because dragons can cause tons of destruction). His power is upped for this last stage of the fight and this will test the PCs. Well what do you think? I know I didn't go into too much detail about the other 4 but Innocence was very ambiguous so I felt I had to explain the situation more :P. [/QUOTE]
