Message: <blockquote data-quote="Ralts Bloodthorne" data-source="post: 303637" data-attributes="member: 6390">First of all:  Thanks for the reply.  It's nice to see a reply to this.Why the homosexuality?  Simple.  It gives a decent reason for the Paladin to be afriad to admit his love, and the Wizard to be totally clueless about it.  You live together with someone for 10 years, and you'll realize that that member of the opposite sex might dig you.  Plus, it gives something for the deceased Paladin to actually regret in the House of the Dead.  I've also noticed, many homosexual people are tenative as far as thier emotions are concerns (but that is just those I have met)Why the heavy handed handling of the getting the PC's involved?Simple.  The Paladin also wants the lich to be persuaded to give up his evil ways and atone.  That's harder for PC's to do.  Any gibbering mental deficient with a bar of iron he calls a sa-ward to bash down the lich, it's a whole new ball game to aviod killing him.Although I do like the idea of the PC's visiting the grave to find it despoiled, but what if it was despoiled and then lovingly repaired, and that's when the Paladin appears and charges them with this request.As for a reward, I was thinking, the Paladin and the now lich Wizard wish the Paladin's body to be interred with his weapons, and when the lich is ready to give up his immortal existance, then he wishes to be interred with his wand, staff and robe.  That leaves the wizards books, alchemical labs, deeds to land, and some alchemical equipment.Now, girding the lion in his lair, so to speak, lowers the options of the spells that the Wizard would be able to use.  No area of effect spells, since it might damage the delicate equipment, or the Paladin's body.  That makes it into an interesting fight, and possibly a way around killing the lich by damaging or threatening equipment.</blockquote>
