[QUOTE="barsoomcore, post: 1933755, member: 812"] Barsoom's highlight has to be the Vampire moment. Our heroes venture into the frozen mountains of Yu Lan, seeking the abandoned laboratory of a vanquished sorcerer in hopes of finding the key to destroying vampires (not a straightforward task on Barsoom). It turned as a fortunately/unfortunately sort of tale: [list] [*]Fortunately, they found the secret to destroying vampires. [*]Unfortunately, the vampire needing destroying was several thousand miles away from them, and only a few miles away from her ultimate destination -- the tomb of her former master, where she intended to restore him to bad-guy life. [*]Fortunately, the party includes a sorcerer who can get them there in time. [*]Unfortunately, the sorcerer fails his spellcasting roll (magic on Barsoom is special). [*]Fortunately, the sorcerer makes his saving roll against the Constitution damage. [*]Unfortunately, the Constitution damage (even after his successful save) is sufficient to kill him. [*]Fortunately, the abandoned laboratory includes a variety of devices for restoring animation to the deceased. [*]Unfortunately, these devices will turn our brave PC into a ravening undead monster. [*]Fortunately, our heroes are unfazed, since they're just loaded up on ravening-undead-monster-killing hardware, and go ahead with the process. [*]Unfortunately, their friend wakes up with a thirst for human souls. [*]Fortunately, he's just rational enough to be able to control his raveningness and get our heroes to where they need to be to stop the lone vampire in her evil quest. [*]Unfortunately, she's not quite as lone as they thought... [/list] It's always fun when your PCs are MORE devious and twisted than you are. [/QUOTE]
