Message: <blockquote data-quote="Rystil Arden" data-source="post: 4006202" data-attributes="member: 29014">Best fight with a Mindflayer (and small backstory leading up to it):The party had hired a powerful Psion a long time ago and continually delayed paying the guy time and time again.  He kept tagging along and waiting for payment.  Eventually one day, he started asking for money for every power he cast.  When the party demanded to know why, he pointed out how much they had been stiffing him.  In contrition, they agreed to travel to the old illithid city that the Psion and his comrade had destroyed long ago when the Psion escaped (his comrade did not).  After wiping out the illithids and with his comrade dead, this guy was the world's only remaining Psion.So the party descended to the former Illithid stronghold, which was having serious redecorating problems thanks to the incursion of random rifts to the Far Realms.  After a series of fights with Pseudonatural Creatures and near-deaths due to random rifts opening up, the group faced their final encounter--Within the ruined central cortex of the illithid city was a Pseudonatural Undead Illithid Hivemind, a Pseudonatural Alhoon, and the Pseudonatural Revenant of the Psion's former comrade.  The battle was fought twofold, on both the physical and the mental realm, and the Psion brought the Wizard with him into a Mindscape to defeat the psionic power that trapped and threatened to destroy the Barbarian (their strongest party member and the most likely to be able to kill these things).  Far Realms ichor flew, blades sang, and psychic powers battled for control, placing defenses and shattering them.  After all was said and done, all three opponents lay slain, and the Wizard used a carefully-worded Wish to restore the Psion's former comrade.  This made the Psion happy, not the least of which because he was a hideously deformed freak, and the restored comrade was the only woman who had ever loved him.  True love was found, and the party looted the illithids for an insanely large treasure, including certain items so expensive that the only buyer they could find was the evil empire they were fighting (so desperate were they for cash that they sold to the evil empire anyway--I'm not sure I understand them completely).</blockquote>
