Message: <blockquote data-quote="Raven Crowking" data-source="post: 1649787" data-attributes="member: 18280">Julius InvincibleIMC, there is a mortal named Julius Invincible, who has ascended to godhood, and become the NE Lord of Victory Through Any Means.  In the old days of 1st Ed, Julius was a PC played by an eminently capable and clever player.  Over the course of many adventures, he eventually rose to 14th level (and his father, whose name has been lost to time, was a 16th level wizard).  These were actually quite high levels for 1st Edition AD&D, and anyone who has played under my loving DM-ship will be happy to tell you that I am both stingy and, while not bloodthirsty, certainly willing to let characters die when circumstances dictate.  You can visit my current story hour (link below) if you have any doubts about this.So, anyway, Julius took his father and a couple of friends Against the Giants.  Well, call it a modified version of the module, because I reduced the amount of haul.I think it was in G2:  The Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl when Julius decided that there wasn't enough treasure to go around.  He decided (correctly, as it turned out) that he could finish the adventure on his own, and killed the rest of the party for their goodies.  Yes, that included his own father, who was played by the same player.  Julius became evil, with all the penalties that entailed under good old 1st Edition, but he also went on to finish off the frost giants and the fire giants.  He never followed it to the Abyss, though.Eventually, Julius regretted killing his father, and went back looking for a piece of him to clone.  Which is a whole 'nother story.   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f609.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=";)" title="Wink    ;)"  data-smilie="2"data-shortname=";)" />   The point was, Julius was memorable enough to become an evil god many, many years later.  To some degree, I suppose, my stinginess was to blame!   <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":p" title="Stick out tongue    :p"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":p" /></blockquote>
