[QUOTE="Viktyr Gehrig, post: 1018008, member: 9249"] Near the end of 2e, my friends and I got together over a rousing game of Die, Vecna, Die, and we got to the very end of the adventure. The entire party was Good and of pure heart and all that, except for me, the NE Troll Ranger/Rogue (I got the alignment requirement waived), who had a history with Vecna and wanted him dead, dead, dead. We're in Sigil, in front of the temple Vecna has commandeered in order to try to take over. Our attempts to lure him out have been in vain, as he ignores our taunts, our jeers, and my torture of his priests (which my party, true to form, objected strenuously to). Sylvanus, our half-elf single-classed Fighter buddy, says "Guys, I've got an idea, but we need that bastard out of the temple." So, taking a second to finish eating the last priest, I swipe the biggest two-handed mace I can find in a nearby weapons store and collapse the building on him. Now, the loss of the temple won't [b]prevent[/b] Vecna from winning, but it'll slow him down-- and it means he's not so attached to it anymore. Taking one look at my magnificent trollishness, he hisses "You." and starts giving chase, calling down all manner of hellfire and brimstone on us. Sylvanus proceeds with his idea, luring Vecna out on a rooftop and engaging him in melee, to keep him from nailing us with spell after spell. I move into flanking position, and after a couple of telling blows, I duck down to my hands and knees... And Sylvanus dive-tackles Vecna over my prone body and off of the edge of Sigil. No magic can restore someone lost to the city's edge, as they don't die-- they simply cease to exist, and not even a Wish can find out what's happened to them. We were all awarded Wishes for saving the multiverse-- but only the evil Troll tried to bring back the hero. Too bad not even a Wish could bring someone back from Nowhere. [/QUOTE]
