[QUOTE="justa goblin, post: 2409507, member: 3836"] [b]idea for npc[/b] Let's call them the Brotherhood of the Eternal Soul or some such. A group of good monks on the eternal path to perfection, blah, blah, blah. The have a method of passing on their souls to younger members when they die allowing them to walk the path eternally. Well their high great leader recently passed his soul, unfoirtunately his passing coincided with Imbridalara's death. The ritual used to pass on the soul left this young child completely defenceless against tidal wave of souls escaping Imbraladara's prison. Now you have a young child (10 ish) inhabited by who knows what. Put the big high leader in their with all of his memories but there could also be a being from before time with his memories and all kinds of assorted odds and ends. For the kicker throw in some big baddie that managed to dominate all of the other souls that is using the Brotherhood for some nefarious plot. However he has access to the Leader monk's memories so he can pass all of the tests posed by the Brotherhood. If you are feeling particularly nasty have the new god of the undead searching for this being to bring it back. Of course bringing it back destroys the other souls in the body and the information along with it. So we have a brotherhood of good monks doing the work of an young child possesd by an evil overlord along with the souls of thousands of trapped beings, including something that knows about the worms, on the run from a god. As a plus if Eve tries to poke around in his head he has a built in defense of huge resevoir of minds to give her. She could wander around for years and never find anything. [/QUOTE]
