Actually, there is going to be a couple of things that can defeat the big bad guy after he's bonded himself to the Demonlord. First, the use of Pure Blood Magick (in which one uses his/her own life essence, instead of that of innocents) will harm him. Second, the prophecy has it that the Shadowborn shall Awaken the Sleeper and that they will Defeat the Incarnation of Destruction (that being the big bad guy after he's bonded with the demon-lord *grin*). Of course, the group doesn't know WHAT the prophecy says. They only know the bit about the Shadowborn awakening the Sleeper (which was done already in a varient Tomb of Tjocanth module) (instead of awakening the Vampire, they woke up the Paladin daughter of the evil arch-mage) (the arch-mage was kinda annoyed that her own daughter turned to the side of honor and decency and all that). There'll be another way to defeat the arch-mage but I've not yet figured it out yet... it seems a shame for the hero to kill himself to defeat his foe (especially as it might not work!) BTW, Deb... I knew what I was doing in summoning you. I used to GM a PBEM you were in after all... and was supposed to be in one of your PBeMs (that never got off the ground unfortunately) as well. :) Rob ---------------------------------------------------------------- GMAST Home Page: http://www.phoenyx.net/gmast/ Tech support questions go to support@phoenyx.net.
