So you can go ahead and kill him ;)

Oh whats the fun in just killing him?

Well it won't work like that, this anti-teleporting spell will not hold him forever so you kill him in battle or he'll run.

I think dimentional anchor is good for afew hours, should be long enough to get a propaganda like effect if we show his deformed face to the crowds and lopping off a leg or two to show it growing back should persuade the people of Birun that thier new overlords are demons. We're going to be wageing a semi gureilla war agaisnt the thirteen after all.
Also I think he could be good leverage to "persuade" someone to hand over a ship, mine is pretty singed.

You have nothing with which you could pressure him for information. If you haven't noticed yet he actually enjoys pain and death won't make him cringe either. He's not talkative enough to spoil secrets just because he wants to scare you or anything.

I'm sure the alchemist can come up with a truth potion of some sort.

You can keep his helmet and sword and if you're really paranoid keep his hand, he won't be back though:

Aww, I was hoping he'd turn into a reoccuring innefectual villain. You're no fun.:P

[TheLastDays]

He won't talk :P

It's already a stretch of you to just assume that the wizards spell worked on a being from the Void, a potion won't have any effect :P

Thought I'd make a few comments on some of these posts, since this is the first time the dice have been rolled and it's a pretty pivotal moment that will shape the course of the game, behind the secnes at least.

Kinda inevitable when you let the character's creator write the story :P Especially when he's not very experienced at it and wants the character to win.

This is perfectly natural, everyone wants their character to triumph, you just have to remember to keep it realistic and ensure you steer well clear of Gary Stu territory; I'm going to put it out there and suggest that, for the sake of your character's progression, you should give serious consideration to the death of Gilford or the loss of Essa.

Maybe we should have a vote next time from the other players on which which character should win or which player's writing was more entertaining

If voting becomes the new way to decide combat, I have no problem with that, but I wouldn't vote were it based on the strength of someone's narrative... that's not a particularly fair or nice way to do it. As I said privately, this game is about fun, and I don't think deciding who's a better writer is part of that.

And his sword's going straight into a collection I'm starting.

A collection of the Thirteen's phat lewts? This assumes that you're going to be around when each dies...

I think you should probably stick with the host's decision on this one; either you kill Erego or you let him go.

I've already established that essa has a big crack in it and gilford has a habit of getting sidelined. I think if I use that I can sort something out in the future to keep it from getting too repetative.

Everyone needs a hobby.

Bah, you're all no fun!

Allowing your character to capture Erego would end badly for you, methinks.

The remaining Twelve would consider you a greater threat, and Vayne would probably send a stronger one of his remaining
Lords after you. It would probably be nigh impossible to have your character remain unscathed, whether by bodily harm, Gilford's death, or
the loss of Essa.

As TLD stated before when I created my character, the stronger we are, the stronger he makes our enemies.
Thus, giving Thomas the power to hold one of the 13, even if its the weakest would not end well.

Of course, killing Erego would have its own repercussions as well.....

[TheLastDays]

WEll they have to die at some point, don't they? ;)

On a related note: I have been pretty allowing in this battle since it's more part of a story and it's not really a PvP battle since one of the combatants was a story NPC. I will be more demanding of the rules should it come to real PvP situations and probably also in future NPC battles. You shouldn't be assuming too much about the effects of your attacks/spells/etc. on the other combatant. That way it usually turns into a "You hacked my hand off, I'll hack both your feet off" and if the characters don't have restorative powers we'd run out of characters soon ;)

Most of the fight should be a back and forth of fighting, pretty much displaying your own moves, leaving the reaction and effect to the other combatant. Results and lasting consequences should be dealt in the final post after the dice have fallen.

Concering the powers/strengths of the villains: Enego's supposed to be rather weak. You shouldn't expect to kill any of the other's without at least involving two PCs, even if they wield shard weapons.

Fluffy, Seon and I are still waiting on your post...

I wasnt going to keep him as a pet or anything. Though now that you mention it...

TLD Will his corpse disintergrate or something when I kill him?

[TheLastDays]

Nope, his corpse will rot like any other corpse, there's nothing you could use it for though, other than scare the **** out of Gilford if you wake him up at night...

[Greyblades]

...Ok I'm convinced, I'm keeping the head until I see rufus again. That is just too funny an idea to pass up. Still I think I might use it as leverage to persuade a captain to give up his ship to me.
