[QUOTE="Al, post: 153748, member: 2486"] This has to rank pretty highly. In an old 2e High-Level Campaigns campaign, the PCs were retrieving an artifact from the clutches of a Paragon Death Knight at the bottom of an ancient pyramid. The PCs walk in and the Death Knight gives his normal blurb about foolish adventurers etc. before commanding his minions to attack furiously. Rolling for initiative, the party wild mage won. He kicked off by casting a nice assault spell on the Death Knight, but had to roll for wild spellcasting. He rolled a surge. Slightly anxious that he may have blown one of his top spells, he rolled tentatively on the surge result. When I looked up the result, I let loose a wry smile: 'Target falls madly in love with caster until a dispel magic'. Well, it made for interesting roleplay. The Death Knight helped despatch his erstwhile minions, and then agreed to be reincarnated. Noting the gender problem, he chose to be reincarnated as a woman (I believe they used wish to get it spot on). She proved a valuable ally and certainly the most obscure origins for any romance I've ever seen. [/QUOTE]
