[QUOTE="NewJeffCT, post: 5207122, member: 10784"] here here! Have the villain mock them as he or she escapes just beyond their grasp - it will make the eventual kill even more satisfying. (The main bad guy from Lethal Weapon 2 - a South African - kept claiming Diplomatic Immunity throughout the movie. Finally, at the end, when it appeared he'd get away due to his final claim of "Diplomatic Immunity" Danny Glover's character shot him and said, "has just been revoked." and the theatre erupts in cheers) In my last campaign (3.5) that went on for almost 2 1/2 years, I had a recurring villainess (drow duskblade) that managed to kill at least one PC in each of the first four times they met her in game. (Granted, kill is relative in D&D with Resurrection, Raise Dead, Revivify, etc in 3.5) Each time, she barely escaped... once, on the back of a dragon after her boss (an evil cleric) scooped her up in the middle of battle. Finally, in the last battle with her (the penultimate encounter in the campaign overall) and her drow brethren, she managed to off one PC before they finally ganged up on her and dropped her. The evil drow priestess then Revivified her, bringing her back to -1 and stable. Then, another drow cleric Healed her (it was a big encounter) and the duskblade did a Swift Invisibility to frustrate them even more. Finally, they managed to take her out - for good - and also kill the drow priestess just before she could Mass Heal her drow brethren. But, it was high fives around the table when she finally died for good. [/QUOTE]
