[QUOTE="Tsillanabor, post: 2866459, member: 40432"] After 8 years of campaigning, the world of Corylak came to a close. The last original player (I was DM) was moving, and I had decided it was time for a new world. So the PCs were fighting off the apocalypse. They were in the Abyss, fighting a Demon Princess and getting their rears stomped. The original player's character fell in battle. Now, this wasn't his first character-when characters reached 20th level we retired them. His first, for instance, was a human Cavalier-Paladin (from the original Unearthed Arcana) named Boreal who mysteriously disappeared single-handedly holding a mountain pass against a demonic army. Now, the Demon Princess Karrissa was a powerful mage who enjoyed turning her enemies into statues with which she decorated her palace. Our mage had been turning them back to bolster our own forces. In her throne room he brought back a knight in shining red dragon armor shortly after the original player's character fell. Reaching into my filing box I handed him Boreal's character sheet. With a tear in his eye and a savage grin on his face he absolutely wiped the floor with Karrissa, three Balors, and associated other demons. It was a fitting ending. We then role-played the return of the heroes to Eaglecrest (the seat of the Empire, it was actually founded by Boreal a thousand years earlier) and we read a closing statement which I'm not going to type because I'm too darn tired.
