Challenging my high-lvl group (NPCs and monsters; my players shouldn't read this!)

It is, indeed, all of the above.

In addition to avoiding spoilers and not wanting to start a precedent of cross-thread sharing, the group didn't necessarily defeat him; he might crop up again in the game, so I'm not interested in sharing details about him with the group!

He's left his mark on the group, though. Oh yes.

Soder isn't anyone you've met before; he has a long and storied history working side-by-side with the Ivory King, and he knows thing that no one else does. He also has some secrets and some quirks, but they're a little different.

Well, I came here to ask a strange question concerning Soder, but I think I'm barking up the wrong tree. I had wondered if Soder was related to the 15th century translation of the Greek word Soter. Soter is commonly translated as Savior. You may know the word Soter as the last from the Christian fish symbol IXTHUS - Iesuos Christos Theos Uios, Soter.

Clearly, I am wrong if the pcs have defeated soter, but I thought Soder=Savior might be the ultimate plot twist.

And now, back to your regularly scheduled RBDM goodness and away from my mad ravings...

Can't wait to read about the details!

Can't wait to read about the details!

I'm wondering if anybody died a true death this time. Last time we had a bodycount (and the characters refused to return to life) was with the troll/illithid crossbreed waaaaay back at the beginning of this story hour.

After that, I don't seem to remember anybody dying, but I could be wrong...

 

[Piratecat]

Agar has ded since, but was brought back. I think it's fair to say yes; someone died a true death.

 

[Spatzimaus]

I think it's fair to say yes; someone died a true death.

Preferably the Ivory King.

And really, when the people involved have access to Wish and are friends with various and sundry deities, how exactly do you keep them from coming back? When Valdek was killed by the Trillith, wasn't his permadeath because the player was moving to the West Coast or something? Or was he one of those where the player wanted to change characters?

I moved to Vermont and had told my supposed girl friend that I didn't want to be raised. (Supposed because she ended up marrying a prince or something). Fortunately Valdek is now enjoying himself in Valhalla and doesn't care about such earthly things.

I'm really not a left coast kind of guy. I'll take blizzards etc... over earth quakes anyday.

Burr-Lipp's and others stats?

Hi, on page 22 of the story thread and I just wanted to ask if anyone has posted Burr-lipp's stats? He's only mentioned a few times in the story and I wonder what his relationship to the party is, if he's a cohort of someone or what?

Also, what are the stats of the dwarven soldiers following splinder?
