[QUOTE="Storyteller Hero, post: 7339608, member: 6813635"] When you know that the PC is going to die outside of some Deus Ex Machina intervention, go with the flow and begin a narrative. "As your body rages with pain from the melting heat of the lava, a torrent of memories, hopes, and regrets come to the surface of your final thoughts. You remember the day when you first left on this adventure, the day you first met your comrades on this journey, the day when you lost that battle with the lich and swore vengeance. As all the world around you is drowned out by the agony of your demise, you hear a whisper in the distance - it's calling to you, it's calling your name. It's time to go home and rest. Your loved ones are waiting." "Do you want to keep playing with this character?" PLAYER: "What? You mean like getting rescued at the last minute?" "No. Something else. Do you want to keep playing with this character?" PLAYER: "Hell yes." "Wait a bit then." AFTER THE ENCOUNTER ENDS... "You find yourself floating in the Gray of the Fugue Plane, drifting towards a rainbow-colored circle in the distance. You can see what looks like the image of a shining city of white and blue beyond the inner part of the circle. Two glowing humanoids with wings and spears stand guard next to the circle, which seems to be a portal now that you realize where it leads: To the afterlife realm of the very goddess you would pray to in the darkest hours. They are beckoning you to come to them..." DEATH IS ONLY THE BEGINNING... [/QUOTE]
