[QUOTE="rushlight, post: 2099483, member: 3801"] Well, this isn't an adventure locale - but it is a moment like the one Crothian had. So, PCs are looking for the Special Item of Doom. They track it back to a wizard who's been trapped in a cave for years. They enter the cave, only to find that the wizard is still alive - as a lich! So, they kill him and take his stuff. Among said stuff: Book of How to Become A Lich. PC discussion follows. Cleric: "Burn it!" Wizard: "Keep it!" Wizard wins. They take the book back to their keep, in the grand city - and forget about it. Eventually they make a serious enemy within the city and he's far beyond their ability to kill. But with some help, they Imprison him. Years pass (literally) and eventually they too are effectively Imprisoned (which was the final scene from the campaign!) When they are finally extracted, 1500 years have passed and the world is in seriously bad shape. Now, you're probably way ahead of me, but the PCs didn't see it coming. Needless to say, once they figured out who caused such destruction (including the downfall of the kingdom which they had defended previously) the Wizard was quite upset. It seems the baddie got un-Imprisoned and went looking for the PCs at their keep. No one was home, since they themselves were Imprisoned. So he helped himself to some loot - including a Book of How to Become A Lich. So he did. That second campaign ended last year, and a third was begun. The players are *still* dealing with that lich. I don't think the Wizard will [i]ever[/i] live that down. :p [/QUOTE]
