Message: <blockquote data-quote="timbannock" data-source="post: 3389558" data-attributes="member: 17913">Haven't run it straight up, but I too pillaged ideas for a previous campaign (using Tcian Sumere as an abandoned fortress of "some dark god") and then reviving Tcian Sumere and the whole Orcus plotline in my current campaign.Neat tip: I advanced the storyline so Orcus has been back for some time, and instead made Tenebrous simply an Avatar of Orcus.  The Last Word is something no God could use, but instead was a sort of "police measure" that non-deities could use against deities.  So, Tenebrous, as a more-or-less mortal aspect of Orcus, can use the Last Word.I've since tied it all into Rappan Athuk...Tenebrous has escaped with the Last Word to Rappan Athuk, and resides there as The Master.  The PCs are currently traveling the Planes to figure out the origin of the Last Word, and figure out how to "erase" it from that temple place in Pelion, thus causing Tenebrous to lose its power.  Then they get to head into Rappan Athuk and take him on directly.Not to toot my own horn, but I'm very happy with how well these adventures have come together, especially considering how different they are in tone and even in how Orcus is portrayed.  The players are loving the storyline (especially since I've used Orcus in various incarnations in pretty much every campaign I've ever run).</blockquote>
