[QUOTE="phindar, post: 3626882, member: 37198"] There was a great video game (well, I liked it) called Sphinx and the Cursed Mummy. Sort of an action/adventure with puzzle solving and some RPG elements. In it, a prince was turned into a mundane mummy (the non-undead kind... or the dead kind) and over the course of the game you collected his canopic vases. Each time you got one the mummy animated and he could run around and try to get through some horribly lethal trap filled dungeon. The idea was to get all his canopic vases so that the Cursed Mummy could be returned to life. Maybe the mummy in your game could take a page from that book. He could present himself to the paladin as a cursed victim, and if he is destroyed his soul will suffer eternal torment. He must complete some task or get some item in order to break the curse. But if you wanted to get some sort of Spidey/Venom team-up, I'd say make the Mummy evil but necessary to the quest, and give him and the paladin the same ultimate goal. I mean, its not really a hero/villain team up if they're both good. (I mean, if Buffy and Spike can team up in the 2nd, 3rd and 4th seasons, then I'd like to think a paladin and a mummy can work together in a one-off epic game. [i]I smell a sit-com![/i]) [/QUOTE]
