The Adventures of the Knights of Spellforge Keep

[Datt]

Great updates Doc! You just got to love it when your players figure out a way to roleplay their way out of a combat.

Deal with the Undead

It's a good job for Doc that the original adventure has a box specifically for any deals with Helios, ain't it? At least there was no need to wing it.

Strange how Vek walked straight up to the one guy they could make a deal with

Perhaps Vek uses his scrying to look over Doc's shoulder?

I think Vek makes this deal with everyone, so long as they agree that the Knights get to keep the loot.

Failing that, they either kill them outright, or wait until they sleep and take all of their gold.

or wait until they sleep and take all of their gold.

Damn lich doesn't sleep!

I felt that my Goddess (being of Death and Magic) would not want me to interrupt the lich's studies. If he had pursued the fight... I would've killed him, taken his loot, and kept his Phlactery as token of the battle but let him come back

 

[Dursk Starkfire]

isn't being a lich counter to the ideals of the Ruby Queen? I would think liches would make her a little agitated, seeming as they've basically found a way to "cheat" death?

 

[Wee Jas]

Wee Jas has lich followers. Gods/godesses of knowledge and magic often allow their servents to "cheat death" for the pursuit of lore.

Occasionally, members of Wee Jas' faith are allowed to continue beyond death as undead, typically lichs (although some survive as mummies or even guardian ghosts). These undead maintain their standing and postition in the Church, and are addressed as Taken on the rare occasions they are addressed by the living. It is suspected that a the Archon of Wee Jas may call upon a secret council of lichs that normally lie, neither awake nor asleep, beneath the White Temple in Niole Dra until their advice and council is sought.

thanks for the info

Wee Jas, the pragmatic one.

A Litch is the ultimate combination of Death and Magic, even more so than the Deck of Fate/Chance/Many Things. And we have a Litch with a Deck. Nice.

 

[fenzer]

Lela, do my eyes deceive me or are you spelling "lich" with a "t"?

The reason I ask is back in my early days of playing this wonderful game, I used to pronounce it "litch" as in "pitch" but if I remember correctly it is pronounced lich as in mike, no "t". I only say this becouse I too have been corrected for my mispronunciation.

 

[Caliber]

I've always said it as Lich, as in Pitch, but minus the T.
