Who knows what might happen if he were to be killed by a group of well meaning investigators."Finally the grand master cultist H'ch-Pi-El sinks to the ground, blood oozing from dozens of bullet holes in his chest.  As you approace, guns at the ready, you hear him gasp, expelling flecks of frothy blood from his mouth and nose, 'It's too late. We're all dead.'  Then Azathoth eats Earth, you all die, along with everybody else.  Game over."As their creator, H'ch-Pi-El has total knowledge of the Mythos and cannot die through natural means.  He is a 15th level Cult Sorcerer (Cthulhu) with all of the artifacts and spells presented in the CoCd20</blockquote>
