One of the players plays a half elf dandy with no good looking woman being safe from him. But everything has consequences.I ruled that one of the women would be the wife of the city watch captain (carefully stated champion to balance out his Battlemaster build) So this captain would get hints that his wife is untrue and challenge my player to a life and death duel.This duel in my greyhawk campaign requires a cleric of Istus to geas the duelists to submit to a geas that they will not be raised by clerical means-Here comes the twist:The captain is unsure whether he wins so he intends a safeguard, he hires a wizard to make a clone of him(No clerical magic) so in case he dies he gets an auto-resurrection.Now here comes the real twist:Wife gets the captains plans and bribes the wizard to clone her lover (the PC) instead (she got enough genetic material of him on the sheets) and camouflage the wrong clone who is kept in a cabinet at the captains home as looking as her husband by an illusion.So I diced this out with my PC and I got two lucky crits and ruled he got killed and decapitated in the duel by the captain. This was the outcome I hoped for because it is the option which is more fun.I told my player: "You are suddenly in a Cabinet with a glass door, something is not quite right with your body although you feel quite normal you look like the captain..."The situations resolution ended with the captain to be executed because he tried to fraud the geas, but still the looks of my group when I explained how captains wife got the genetic material for the clone was priceless.</blockquote>
