Message: <blockquote data-quote="Arctic Wolf" data-source="post: 5779259" data-attributes="member: 6686199">Finally came up with an outline for each phase of the fight: After watching the the awe-inspiring, catacylsmic fight between the fallen god of death, Nerull, and the demon prince, Nihilious for the time gem of death. Nihilious tears the gem out of Nerull's broken body and then with a cruel and mocking smirk, he infuses his divine essense in the gem and devours it and finally ending Nerull's life. A sword suddenly appears where the body was. Then Nihilious picks it up and runs it into his hand and it disappears. He then turns to the PCs and thanks them with a maleviolent smile and says that sadly, a fallen god was not enough to really test him and since he now has a divine spark, he wants to cut loose and see how strong his "champions" are and sends them through the first obstacle. Phase 1) The PCs suddenly feel afflicted with slow that they can't save against and see a bunch of demonic slime (MotP) coming toward them. They have to escape but find a few time wrinkles in there way. The demonic slime will be moving 2 squares per turn but with all the time wrinkles there, it will seem quicker with the the rerolling initiative a lot. They will use Arcana checks to destroy the time wrinkles and I will have radiant damage freeze the demonic slime for one round. (If you think I should throw in some more stuff let me know.) Phase 2) The PCs face Nihilious in his human form as a spellcaster and must damage him from full hp to half. This will be difficult because he takes a lot of turns per round and can slow the PCs from reaching him. Phase 3) He turns into his demon form and faces the PCs in melee combat, which will surprise them. This is where the PCs will need to work to control him from doing a lot of damage since melee is his forte. In this stage he will have a more demonic stat block while still having some aspects of his time mastery abilities. Phase 4) After he reaches 100 hp he instantly teleports away and turns into his human form again. He then tells the PCs (assuming they make it this far) that they will be the first mortals to behold his ultimate ability, Wasteland of Forgotten Blades. When he uses this, the area becomes a field of sand with what looks like an infinite amount of longswords (yes I know I am copying kingdom hearts and fate/night <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f61b.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":P" title="Stick out tongue    :P"  data-smilie="7"data-shortname=":P" />) and a full moon with a sun are opposite on each side overhead, lighting the area.         The PCs lose their weapons and have to use the swords to defeat him.  He will be using the swords too. Each sword is a +6 sword and they use their highest mod to attack. It will be a minor action to pick one up and when they do, they see the entire life of the being whose timeline is stored within (good for RP and just fun in general). Any PCs that die in here are permenantly dead and turn into a blade to keep up with the theme. Their partners will get an extra bonus on rolls and damage with these blades. Finally, after all the fighting, assuming the PCs win, he will either die or admit defeat. So what do you all think? Sound fun?</blockquote>
