Message: <blockquote data-quote="Larry Fitz" data-source="post: 127941" data-attributes="member: 3949">Your scenario is predicated on the idea that the PC's future selves remain unchanged by the events, what if they are simply doing what they are fated to do? They have become evil and very important evil characters at that, they put the PC's through horrific scenarion after horrific scenario to ensure that they are thoroughly demoralized and choose "the dark side" that is why they do not kill them, they need them to become the evil that they are destined to become, that serves Occam's Razor much better I think than a scenario in which the only way they can think of to defeat some evil they have unleashed is to try and stop their former selves. In this case, if the PC's dso not begin turning to evil as their future selves did, they step up the program, not understanding how what they believe to be the past is not imitating what they experienced. In fact it is not their own past selves they are manipulating, it is an Alternate Prime Plane, just as they were manipulated by still another Prime Material Plane, and unlike the current PC's they succumbed...Bwah-hahahahahahaha...."Yes, when you cast the spell, 'Detect Evil' on me you get a 'yes' answer, but who named the spell, certainly not I. I would have called it, 'Detect Healthy Self-interest', and your so called 'Detect Good'? I would have called that 'Detect Simpering Milksop', now if you'll excuse me, after I kill you and your friends I have a game of cards with the Lich Khan-far, and he gets upset if I'm late."  -Belthiz, Necromancer and poker enthusiast.</blockquote>
