[QUOTE="Jürgen Hubert, post: 387652, member: 7177"] Maybe this suggestion isn't quite what you wanted, but... If you want to maintain the proper "Mythos feeling", I suggest the following: Make the fights extremely tough (well, this goes without saying). Most of the Great Old Ones cannot be destroyed, but just temporarily banished. When the Great Old Ones finally are defeated (at staggeringly huge costs), it should be extremely clear to the PCs that this is only a temporary thing, and that eternal vigilance is needed by the [i]entire[/i] alliance to make sure the GOOs stay in their eternal slumber. Then watch the horror in their faces as all their allies declare this temporary release as a "clear and decisive victory" and fall back to squabbling and warfare between them [I]as if nothing had happened![/I] If that doesn't teach them the meaning of "cosmic horror", then nothing will. :D [/QUOTE]
