[QUOTE="The_Universe, post: 1789456, member: 8944"] After locating and freeing an ancient and powerful blade from a labyrinth beneath a broken and forgotten city, the PCs found themselves confronted by one of the most powerful minions of a dark and mysterious Lich Lord, who demanded that they give the recently acquired blade to him. The agent, incidentally, was physically indistinguishable from a member of the party. Speculation abounds, but the general consensus is that he is actually a pseudo-twin created by a Wish made earlier in the game. In exchange for the blade, the agent offered the the PCs (and thereby to their rebel Queen) the service of the Lichlord, as well as [i]his phylactery[/i] as a sort of insurance on the deal. After some intense negotiations and some inter-party strife, it was decided that they would accept the deal. The agent returned to the home of their rebellion, with both the agent and phylactery in tow. They presented their deal to the queen, and learned that the agent is in fact in love with the queen (who is not only paralyzed from the waist down, but also pregnant with the child of the party member the agent resembles). She accepted the basic deal, but stipulated that further negotiations would be necessary before any agreement could be finalized. After the preliminary negotiation and revelation, the PCs took care of some basic character maintenence, including preparing to commission some new equipment, and a keep. That night, the PCs were attacked by shapeshifting assassins, and confronted by a new character (apparently a magic user) who confused the party member for the agent of the Lichlord with the same likeness. One of the PCs is already dead, and there are still several assassins to take care of. Only time will tell how many PCs will escape the battle alive! (the above leaves out a lot of detail, and even more context - but it at least approximates the current situation rather well. I'd go on about what's happening next, but almost all of my players frequent these boards. They're a great group to play with, and the game has matured a great deal thanks to their efforts) [/QUOTE]
