Hi folks ! First of all a word of warning for my players : Theodoric, Selwyn, Tchavo, Danaé and Arrow, stop reading here...
I've recently been toying with the idea of having a major NPC die, but not actually stay dead. Like Gandalf or Mance Rayder, he would come back later in the campaign, to everyone's surprise.
The thing is, I've already announced to the PCs that he's been publicly executed. The whole town was there watching. Many people recognised him, because he wanted people to know it was him (he orchestrated his own execution).
I initially thought of having someone drugged and polymorphed, but Polymorph ends with death. Illusions might also be tricky since the guards manipulated the body.
Do you guys have any idea of how he could have done that ?
