[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 2682681, member: 11697"] My players cannot read this. Be warned. [Spoiler]So what happens to one of those Factols if they manage to escape their mazes? Their faction may be dead, it may have forgotten them, and their world view may be shattered in the process. What if Darius, who believed in many ways that the universe revolved around her, that her own mind created the world around her, what if she is shown a fatal flaw in her beliefs when she is mazed and left behind? What if her ace in the hole, the debt owed to her by none other than Bel, the Lord of the 1st, himself a Signer, were to be either ignored, or perhaps Bel betrayed her and let her rot in her maze. Embittered, betrayed, forgotten, what does that do to a person who is that self centered in their world view, that bloody powerful, who can predict and alter reality on their own, if they finally manage to escape their imprisonment? [/spoiler] I've also had fun as well with Vartus Timlin, former Factol of The Expansionists. My players know this, but it's SH2 spoilers. [spoiler]The man spent nearly 2000 years in his maze before escaping. And given his beliefs, he's a special case as well. He makes an appearance in my 2nd SH eventually, as always a self made man, but selling his services to several members of the Dark 8 and serving in some capacity as their representative to the Githyanki Lich Queen. But that's what's on the surface of course. Timlin's experience in the mazes was a humbling experience, but his worldview remained intact over those two millennia, and he's just as power hungry as before but he's a bit more cautious and a bit wiser about it now. And that makes him even more dangerous.[/spoiler] [/QUOTE]
