Message: <blockquote data-quote="Storminator" data-source="post: 251466" data-attributes="member: 305">One of my current favorites only lasted one battle. So far...My PCs are storming the castle. they've secured the main keep, and destroyed the temple, leaving only the priest in the tower. All the freed servents are terrified of the priest, because he can look into your soul, and destroy you at a whim.The evil god is usually just called the Beast, and this particular priest is simply called His Favorite. Both the good god and the evil god have Seers, a type of priest that receives powerful visions and has a permanent Detect Thoughts going. The good religion creates secluded places for their Seers to live peacefully, but the evil Seers  go quickly insane from proximity to the temple's resident fiend.So the heroes are sneaking up on the tower, when the Favorite starts singing nursery rhymes to them. Only the words reveal all the destruction going on in their homelands while the heroes are here in the castle. Then the battle starts. My PCs are 2nd level, and the Favorite is 8th. NO weapons, no armor, just spell after spell. Darkness, Summon Dire Bats, Bane, Unholy Blight, Curse, Curse, Inflict, Inflict.He's a frail and insane man with no weapons and no armor, yet 58 hps. So I describe him as dodging before you start your attack, not there when your sword hits, etc. Eventually they knock him low. On one of the attacks the paladin crits him on an AoO, and I rule she hacks his hand off.He leaps on one of the Direbats and rides out of the tower to disappear forever. I'm going to have him return, with his severed hand as a "familiar."He's really creepy, and I love his name. The Favorite.PS</blockquote>
