[QUOTE="Dirigible, post: 1210727, member: 12631"] What's foolish about him? How about this... once upon a time there was a Balor that was impregnated by Lord Voldesauron, god of ultimate not niceness. Her 'merely' tanar'ric body was unable to properly handle the divine child, and it was stillborn inside her. However so charged with divine energy it was that it could not truely die, and lingered on in a bizarre, demiplane, an "astral womb", as an atrophal (from the Epic book). It remains connected to it's mother by a transplanar umbilicus. Anyway, some time later, Dracustat, the evil-yet-gothicly-sexy uber-vampire lord comes along and binds mummy (or mommy, if you insist) into himself to gain enhanced powers (like immunity to fire). So, when the PC's defeat Dracustat, his corpse bursts open revealing Mother Balor, and when (if?) they beat her, the umbilicus leads Voldesauron Jr. straight to them! Three generations of asskicking at once! So, just tweak the power levels of the three critters (individually, they'll each need to be much weaker than the PC's or the god guys'll get butchered). How about a half-fiend vampire fire elemental savant, a slightly weakened Balor (lose 2-4 HD and some spell-like abilities), and a seriously weakened Atrophal. Story needs some work... maybe the demigod-demon's miscarrage was caused by someone attacking Ma Balor, and that person/group is now the PC's patron in secret. In any case, there's some bare, bloody bones to pick over. [/QUOTE]
