Message: <blockquote data-quote="Mordmorgan the Mad" data-source="post: 1967392" data-attributes="member: 27199">Nightcloak, how did you know I'm the king of Ratbastards?Hmmm...worst one, huh?Must have been the most recent Ravenloft game. One of my two PCs's characters (a warlock) has a little sister with the True Innocent PrC (basically a mini paladin, but no smite and has to remain innocent). He's very, very attatched to her, and would rather see his character dead (or worse) than to see her bleed from a papercut.Anyway, a rash of disappearances had been plaguing the town, and (over several sessions) the PCs finally figured out that the victims were taken by unusually agile zombies. After a brutal and very nearly deadly melee, the PCs managed to force the zombies to retreat, albeit with little girl in tow (they were instructed to take the hostage and flee with them). The PCs tracked the zombie to a large mausoleum in the graveyard. They find a small dungeon beneath it and after several battles, they reach the final chamber, where the high priestess waits to sacrifice the kidnapees.Just as the PCs are about to strike, the priestess reveals her hidden ghoul servitors and the PC's sister (just kidnapped personally by the cleric). The Cleric says that if the PCs even attempt to attack her, she'll kill the girl. Most of the PCs charge, but are stopped by the Warlock, who says anyone who attacks will recieve an infernal blast of eldritch power (his eldritch blast). The party rogue uses a scroll to cast Hold Monster on the warlock (who fails his save), then everyone attacks. The ghouls are quickly dispatched, and the Cleric turns to fight the PCs. She slaps the sister hard, knocking her unconcious.The Warlock makes his save, and the spell is broken. Seeing his sister unconcious on the floor sends him into a murderous rage, so he charges headlong toward the Cleric. In one hit he runs his dagger thru her neck (critical hit). As she choaks on her own blood, the Cleric's voice begins to cackle from the warlock's unconcious sister. The wounded Cleric slowly transforms into his sister, and promptly dies. The "unconcious sister" transforms back into her normal Cleric form and mocks the PCs.She died laughing a few turns later, but it was well worth it.(Hope that made sense, that last hit from the amulet left me frazzled  <img src="https://cdn.jsdelivr.net/joypixels/assets/8.0/png/unicode/64/1f60e.png" class="smilie smilie--emoji" loading="lazy" width="64" height="64" alt=":cool:" title="Cool    :cool:"  data-smilie="6"data-shortname=":cool:" /> )</blockquote>
