[QUOTE="chaotix42, post: 4600776, member: 40530"] Jekyll/Hyde thing going on there Psimancer - pretty cool. How about this: The Tarrasque is immortal - kill it, and it sinks into the planet, only to return sometime in the future. Say Demetrius "killed" the Tarrasque by first cracking its impervious carapace. With the aid of epic magic he forged his armor from the shards of this carapace, fulfilling a dual purpose - making a sweet suit of armor, and stealing the Tarrasque's vitality and regenerative immortality - the Tarrasque was effectively dead as long as the armor existed. Fast forward to now. Demetrius knows that the armor is taking him over, and they are already one and the same. He wants to die, but to do so would rekindle the Tarrasque's power, and after 1000 years the beast's hunger has refused to diminish - if its power returned it would wake instantly and destroy everything Demetrius accomplished over his long life. Building this massive dungeon allows him to effectively train people capable of slaying the Tarrasque - when the time comes, Demetrius himself will be their final test. If they can beat him, they will be ready to save the world from the Tarrasque. If they don't, then the world might have something even worse to worry about in the form of a mad Immortal Overlord.
