[QUOTE="Noctos, post: 5485758, member: 6671455"] how long do you want this to take. i often sent the party or a couple members of the party on long side quests just because i could. i like the returning to temple and having to deul with a battle to regain the soul. personally i would lock it away in some magical item and hand it to a powerful lich that he uses to improve his necromancer abilities. thus making he extramly difficult to kill. afterwards i make the party seek out and locate a powerfull mage or cleric depending on what you decide the would be more likly to help. upon meeting the powerful npc he sends them on severall missions. both for things he requires to perform the ritual and as a way of getting him to agree to it in the first place he might want to to seek out and return to him some crazy spell book or magical staff. after the group fights monsters combs mountian sides for the flower, gem, glove of ???, mystical water guarded by a silver dragon, exe...... you could have the mage/cleric perform the task and return her soul. or [COLOR="Purple"][B](if it was me) [/B][/COLOR] depending on powerful or how deep the evil liches hands were in the world have it not be a helpful mage at all but either a servent or maybe lord of the lich you origanally killed who wanted you to gather all this stuff for his own vial plan. at which point you either have him battle the adventures right then and there or bounce out and make them track his ass down. as i say i could run with that plot device for months in a game or finish it up in like 2 hours.
