[QUOTE="hawkeyefan, post: 7442751, member: 6785785"] My current 5E campaign has a bunch of time travel shenanigans in it. I have an NPC who I wanted to kind of tell his story in reverse...he’s a wizard who has somehow managed to master chronomancy. The PCs first encounter him when he’s old and has gone mad and he attacks them from out of nowhere in the city of Sigil. They’ve never met him before and his ravings make no sense to them. They defend themselves, and ultimately, his attack results in the death of a pair of Dabus...which attracts the attention of the Lady of Pain. She shows up and sends him to one of her mazes. Since then, the PCs have met younger versions of the character at different stages of his life. His story and why he ultimately winds up hating them has started to come together. Ultimately, they’ll need his help to undo a great wrong through the use of his time travel abilities....but the only way they can be sure to find him at a point in his life when he’s strong enough to do what they need will be to find the old madman in the Lady’s maze. It’s been a lot of fun to use time travel and characters from the future...dropping a cryptic hint of what’s to come for the PCs is a sure way to get a strong reaction. [/QUOTE]
