[QUOTE="Sunseeker, post: 6844953"] I wouldn't turn back the hands of time. In my sessions, I am willing to roll back the clock one round. This is due to facepalm-inducing realizations and moments of profound stupidity. But that's the deal, you get ONE ROUND. But I won't turn back the hands of time beyond that. I understand wanting to see things play out, and a TPK isn't that, it's: everyone is dead, restart the game or go play something else. As for a cost to this wish, it could be her soul for her friends and the spirits have let her stay alive long enough to say goodbye. Perhaps she drew on her spirit-gods power in a way that angered them, so they seek to imprison her soul, it could be a new, grand quest for the party and a new PC to undertake to save the soul of the friend that saved them. Perhaps her use of such power has caused a "disturbance in the force" and is creating unprecedented side-effects in other places that are intricately tied to the power of these spirits. Maybe they just killed a very ancient magical tree somewhere and must now rush to protect its sapling from those who would misuse it for evil. I don't think you should undo it. What would the result of that be? Everyone is dead? Yeah okay maybe they DONT deserve to be alive, instead of complaining to the DM that they were allowed to live, why don't they put their newfound alive-ness to good use? [/QUOTE]
