[QUOTE="Ashrum the Black, post: 1198169, member: 1585"] Hmm, I got two. First is Andruar. The loveable young mage in training that set fire to the forest when they first met him. He ended up tagging along with PC's and was their mascot for a while. It was great fun when they found out he had taken credit for saving the city (which they did) in the wizards guild. They were not pleased to be upstaged by the teenager at all! During one escapade though the PC's were done for. No way out, but the critter offered them a deal. Sacrifice one of their number and he would spare the rest. None of the others stood forward. Not one of the PC's was willing to take one for the team. So up steps Andraur the NPC who saves their bacon. (I know, I know. But he wasn't uber and he wasn't there to do it. It just fit with the NPC's personality to do it when no one else would.) So Andraur dies and every single one of the three ladies in the group looked at me horrified and said "You killed Andraur you big bully!" It was great! :p It got better when they took the evil necromantic artificat out of its dimensional cage to show to somebody. It had this nasty side effect of resurrecting nearby corpses. So when they find the body missing and they pieced together what actually happened ... ooh the shouts about my being a sneaky rotten so and so doing that to poor Andraur. :p The second was Rask. The dwarven archmage that they found with his soul trapped inside a very valuable diamond. He was loud, he was obnoxious, and the well developed fighter decided to shut him up in the dungeon by sticking him down her cleavage. This led to an ongoing affair between the fighter and the dwarf that only got worse once he was finally freed from the gem and they found out he really WAS an archmage. Things reached a boiling point when the PC's visited his clan and all of the dwarves referred to her as his betrothed. She fought, she railed, she threatend his life and his (ahem) manlyness. It was like watching an episode of Moonlighters at the table. :D [/QUOTE]
