[QUOTE="Mark Hope, post: 2775470, member: 27051"] I used it towards the end of a long-running homebrew 2e game. The world was going to pieces and in that game the tarrasque was a fallen deity cursed to roam the earth. It was wandering about the place eating the high priests of the other gods in a sort of twisted revenge so the PCs gathered together a small army and went after it. Instead of requiring a wish spell to kill it, I ruled that they needed a McGuffin that would completely remove its last divine connections to the planes and allow them to permanently kill it (they had to venture right down to the lowest levels of my world's version of WGR1 [I]Greyhawk Ruins[/I] to get the Mc Guffin, which I figured was a better solution than just using a 9th-level spell). The battle raged across the countryside, finally ending up in my world's version of the ruins of Myth Drannor. The entry of a semi-divine being into the mythal caused the mythal to permanently collapse (after becoming momentarily visible as a coruscating dome of energy when the tarrasque passed through its outer edge). There were a few PC deaths but the beast was finally slain in the ruins. And there was much rejoicing. I have plans to use it in a 3e game, but will probably keep it as a dead god in the ruined city and incorporate elements from [I]Requiem for a God[/I] or something like that. [/QUOTE]
