Message: <blockquote data-quote="Xar" data-source="post: 124078" data-attributes="member: 895">Ooh, thats really nice Carnifex! I really like the idea about finding out the ultimate Thruth. Problem is, there is no ultimate Thruth (at least, I don't know any), and even if there is I don't want to give it away for some punny mortals... So I think I stay with the foundation stone idea. I also loooved the idea that in the beginning the NPC's won't send themselves back in time, and use Sending and Dream like spells first. I can come up with some really nice things to freak them out... think about a friendly old lady selling herbs at the market, chatting with one of the PC's... then her face suddenly twists and changes, her eyes flare up and says in a raspy voice: "You cannot stop it... it is comming!". Weird dreams are also good... And the most evil thing it is that the NPC's know what is going to happen to the PC's (after all, it is their past) and can always hit them on the spot where it hurts them the most... with their almost godlike time-travel powers they can be responsible for everything the PC's encounter... (or did encounter long time ago)For example there is this Egyptian fellow that accidentally wound up in the planes, and now wants to return to his beloved wife and children... But when he finds his way back to his world he finds them all murdered. Step by step he finds out that the murderers were of the same organisation who have harassed them earlier, but only at the very end does he realize that the murderer was actually his own future self... he had to slay his own family just to stop he main event from happening... <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f631.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":eek:" title="Eek!    :eek:"  data-smilie="9"data-shortname=":eek:" />Or there is this tiefling who wants to find out the identity of his father (kinda Star Wars like). Wouldn't it be nice to let him find out that it was his own future self ? <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f600.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":D" title="Big grin    :D"  data-smilie="8"data-shortname=":D" /> Of course, whatever 'the villains' do, it seems to be their fate to end up with the event they tried to stop at any costs... Ah well, thx for all the ideas guys and keep 'em comming!</blockquote>
