Message: <blockquote data-quote="wedgeski" data-source="post: 2743945" data-attributes="member: 16212">Great one!In a recent PBEM I was playing in, my character, a cleric, was killed off in a climactic confrontation with a BBEG, to be replaced by my second PC, a bard, who travelled with the party for several adventures (and two years of real time). Secretly I had arranged for my cleric to return to the game, and so for months our DM kept dropping hints, visions, corner-of-the-eye stuff about a black-robed figure stalking the party. This was really my half-corporeal character (still an NPC at this point) 'rebounding' back onto the Prime from the plane that his soul had departed to, however he bore an uncanny (and coincidental) resemblance to a previous BBEG who the party thought had been killed. Much paranoia and tension ensued.In this campaign dragons were unique creatures (one of each colour), and it was during a fantastic pitched battle in a cursed forest where the Green was attempting to punch through into the Prime that my cleric finally returned fully to the party's reality. Several turns of confusion followed as they thought they were now facing a giant immortal serpent AND the reincarnated form of their old enemy... before the deception was revealed and my cleric rejoined his friends to... well, he didn't save the day, cos the dragon got through in the end, but he prevented the otherwise inevitable TPK. <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f642.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":)" title="Smile    :)"  data-smilie="1"data-shortname=":)" />Also, in this game our DM gave each major turn/event a 'Chapter Title', and to further rub it in, he had named the previous six turns so that the first letter of each title spelled out my character's name, T-R-A-P-I-S. That was a gamble on his part but no-one spotted it before the big payoff, so that was okay.Good times.</blockquote>
