[QUOTE="aco175, post: 6920482, member: 27385"] You can have him die, being horribly burned at the stake (:)- PC victory). While being burned, the demon spirit inside him bursts out and speaks horrible revenge against the PCs and the town before fleeing into darkness. You can have him die, being terribly hanged in public (:)- PC victory). The next morning the PCs are awoken when news comes of the body missing and all the workers in the graveyard having died. The dying gasp of the lone survivor speaks of the body rising off the slab in some form of listless zombie being and killed everyone (go on without me, my time here is done...) Whatever scenario you have you can give the players a victory and still have the BBEG come back. A simple [I]raise dead[/I] works the first time and after the PCs burn and scatter his body you can have [I]resurrection [/I]the next time followed by clone the third time and wish the fourth. This method begins to wear on the players though so maybe use it only once. [/QUOTE]
