[QUOTE="Arctic Wolf, post: 5779887, member: 6686199"] Oh yea trust me I'm also prepping to improvise if things turn out differently then planned. :) True, I might have some fun prior to the fight, if it happens like that. (once this is done I'm going to write up some moves for Nerull heh ;)) Yeah, I admit that isn't the best "puzzle/skill check" phase. Below I will write down what I might change it to next. You gave me an idea to have a time field, but going in reverse time so if the PCs lose they will be erased from history and only known to Nihilious since he will have their *timeline* in his blade. I think I will start him in his demon lord form first so that way we know that when he turns into his human form he is weakened. How does that sound? I think I will combine the Wasteland stage with his human form so that will be phase 3. I like the scene also and true. I think I will do it that if they pick up a blade, they get a boon/debuff that lasts one round to make it interesting and give them some random information. I will prepare about 15 different *people* and that they will be able to gain some history from and even Nerull. I might have them roll a d20 to determine which person they get. Yep, I plan to have it that in the phase 3 no revive items can work so it is for keeps. Hey, you never know. The PCs might spare him for some reason lol. ;) So this is what the new phases will be: Phase 1 Demon Form spell caster fight Phase 2 Will turn his Time Flashes Before Your Eyes ability into an alternative phase where there is no combat (maybe) but each person experiences it differently. I am thinking that they are automatically sent back in time to a point to where something tramatic happened to cause them to become an adventurer. They have to choose either to reshape the events or let them happen as is. They have to face their *alternate time self* to see if this happens or not which can lead to an outcome. Sound good? Phase 3 After managing to avoid changing their future, the PCs awaken to find Nihilious in his human form and he then uses his Wasteland of Forgotten Blades. This actually does sound a lot better then what I had before lol. Anything else I should add? [/QUOTE]
