[QUOTE="iserith, post: 6883829, member: 97077"] In my [I]Summer at the Lake[/I] campaign, one of the players missed a session and we agreed that it made sense that his character, a cleric of Pelor (Casei Vax), was at the local church assisting with services while the other PCs were looking into some murders. I ended that session with the following: "Meanwhile, somewhere else in town, the dawn ceremony has concluded at the Temple of Pelor. Worshipers emerge from the doors to start the day's commerce. A long-haired man in splint armor stands in the middle of an intersection of streets, looking at the passersby. As Casei Vax exits the temple, he notices the man acting strangely - pacing back and forth, slapping the side of his own head with a mailed fist. 'No, no,' he says. 'These aren't orcs. It's not time for revenge!' Moments later, he draws his blade and his eyes fall upon a young boy and girl innocently playing in the street." This was a cut scene for the players at the session and a cliffhanger for everyone (including those reading the transcripts of the campaign). [/QUOTE]
