[QUOTE="Vraille Darkfang, post: 2135320, member: 16989"] While I DID add the King in Yellow book to my game the PC's never found. They did a WHOOOLLLLEEE lot better. Skipped the book went to the main guy himself. The party's wizard (having finally divested him self of the Vile, Evil, Sentient Robe of the First Lich, was in desperate need of something to take over his body. (The running joke was he had a mystical aura of "This space for Rent" to all evil things capable of possession). Thus, when the party started investigating mass murders committed by a tribe of orcs who all had a mysterious yellow symbol composed of 3 swirls in a pyramid, that need was answered. After seeing all the violence, mutilation and human sacrifice, they quickly realized these orcs of the "Yellow Sign" were excessively violent even by orcish standards. The party tracked them down to their lair, stopped a human sacrifice by killing the high priest (who was wearing a golden robe that had a powerful enchantment about it), then ran like hell as all the other orcs were spontaneously killed and pushed together into a giant undead, golem titan bent on their destruction. Wizard (in his greed) teleports back to the sacrificial altar, grabs the Yellow Robe of the corpse and puts it on. Voice of Immense Power and Menace: "Frail, insignificant mortal, will you worship me & spread my will throughout the world?" Wizard: "Can you give me knowledge and power?" Voice: "Enough to conquer the world and all the planes of existence!" Wizard: "I'm your Bi***!" (Paraphrased, yet accurate) Voice: "Welcome my minion, new High Priest of Hastur." Bard PC's Player: "HASTUR????!!!! NNOOOOOOOOO!!!!". Only 1 Player realized who Hastur is, but the rest caught on pretty quick. Hastur not nice man. So, they never found the book, just the main man himself. PS. After going to a magic dead world, so the mage could fake his own death and escape from Hastur's grasp with his immortal soul intact.... First Spell he casts: Contact Other Plane. "Hey any gods out there got some info I need!" Response: "Hey I thought you were dead. NO ONE FOOLS HASTUR AND LIVES!!!!! DEATH TO ALLLLLLLLLL!" DM gets to look up MM Outsider CRS from highest on down. Later, [/QUOTE]
