[QUOTE="TheAuldGrump, post: 5674903, member: 6957"] I got an e-mail from the player of the paladin in my Teens 'n' Tweens Pathfinder game. Last game there was a virtual TPK - the PCs against a much higher level lich Magus. Two folks were petrified, two were paralyzed, the rest driven to negative HP. The bleeding PCs had their wounds bound, a scroll to cure the paralysis and a wand with five charges were left rolled in a note thanking the PCs for a wonderful time.... (I prepared a bunch of notes - for if he beat the PCs, the PCs fled, or if [i]he[/i] fled.) The paladin wants to track down the lich and [i]talk[/i] to him - the lich had gone out of his way not to completely screw them, and (because they had the prepared message) apparently [i]never intended[/i] to kill them. So, rather than taking it as mockery, he wants to talk to the lich, find out what it is up to, and, if it does not have a nefarious scheme, maybe give it a little help. The sad thing is that the paladin is [i]right.[/i] :eek: A plot that I expected to unfold over several, non continuous, episodes may wrap in one. The lich is [b]Chaotic[/b] [SIZE="1"]Evil[/SIZE] - amoral, willing to commit murder if necessary, but not all that malicious. He may even be *gasp!* redeemable. His current mission is actually one of mercy - There is an entire petrified town - the lich turned them to stone because they were suffering from a magically enhanced plague - if the cleric is willing to help cure the plague....
