It might buy the others time.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sent another to the cleric. His connection to the gods has lured spirits that died in this foul place, including their neighboring barony members who went missing months ago and had their brains removed. He can feel their rage. He's not sure what would happen if he gave himself over to the apparitions. The cost might be catastrophic. They might very well consume the cleric, but he can sense they're remnants of vengeance, waiting for a catalyst.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sent one to the Bard and current Baron (behind the scenes plot is that the region they settled has never remained settled, it always fails. For eons, a powerful fey has been cursed by the Eldest to make kingdoms rise and fall for their amusement, each in a unique way. She's close to being done, and she needs the PCs to rise, become independent, and then quickly fall in a way that hasn't been done before. Right now, since they haven't become independent from their kingdom, which has pending civil war, she's put a lot of investment in them and doesn't want to lose it...yet). He sees a leprechaun out of the corner of his eye tip his hat and stealthily (exaggerated sneaking) make his way to a back room.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sent one to the Druid, who is in the back room. The room has a feature that would weaken the BBEG if damaged/marred/destroyed. He was originally up here to destroy a Shield Guardian that could absorb damage from range for the BBEG.</li> <li data-xf-list-type="ul">Sent one to the Fighter, who wields a unique weapon sacred to the god of the Dead (who hates undead). She's had some other experiences that make this make sense. It becomes clear to her that if she were to sacrifice herself to the weapon, imbue it with her spirit, it would become a mighty weapon indeed. She could get one swing in during the transference, perhaps enough to buy time for her friends or even defeat the BBEG, or give them a powerful weapon to finish the fight (although the rest of the party are not STR characters).</li> </ul>I haven't come up with any mechanics of what might happen if each follows thru, but I figure this is more "cool" than smashing one another till hit points run out.</blockquote>
