[QUOTE="LordEntrails, post: 9000831, member: 6804070"] This gives me some ideas... In our campaign Ebondeath (ED) has had 3 phylacteries. While the party has located and destroyed all of them making him mortal. It has made ED stronger as the stored energies were released. Not sure that helps with the idea below, but... Perhaps there is some way Vajra can sacrifice herself to weaken ED enough so that the party can kill him. Hmm... Perhaps ED attacks in the night (along with undead wyverns and harpies), and Vajra is first to confront him. Maybe along with a giant size Otiluke's Sphere she captures him and trap herself long enough to cause him to crash to the ground. Then he fills the sphere with acid or such, and she holds the sphere, taking damage until the party arrives before releasing it. Then on ED's next action he kills her. And as her last act gives the party member the Blackstaff. What do you all think of that? If I flesh it out with some dramatic detail. I'm still missing something there, but I'm starting to like it. Thoughts? As for Fenna Banfyx (FB ), the ranger who works the Leilon region of the Sword Coast. Maybe she brings the alarm to the party at the Trollskull? Perhaps riding on a giant eagle? But how to make her death sad and tragic? [/QUOTE]
