Dear Players,

Phantasmal Killer.

As of... now... this highly unbalanced spell is no longer available.
No seriously, it had to work at some point, I would have bet that Grazuul would have past the fortitude roll though. Oh well, win some, lose some.

So yep, Nagri, played by Paul, has had his first big kill.
I cannot call Grazuul's death an anticlimax though as everyone's attention was on the roll for the save.

Pit Fiend.

I played it as written and I would have given one boon to Sharax, not a snide interpretation of a wish like interaction either. Avaxial would have returned to help Sharax... then he would have tempted him of course.
Now, for the philosophical point of Avaxial being a CR20 Pit Fiend with nineteen negative levels.
Was he evil? Yes.
That evil? Well... considering a Pit Fiend to be the embodiment of EEEEEVIL, I am tempted to say that nineteen negative levels or not... Yes.
There was however a moral dilemma.

Solving it by a vote of all against one, the only one who could speak Infernal by the way, was expedient albeit not what it could have been as far as the RP in RPG is concerned.
Your PCs should all be punished by taking a level of Paladin! And of course a level of Priest of Asmodeus for Sharax.

Anyway, I was willing to play with fire and get a Pit Fiend around owing a boon to an LV10 PC.
As you all know, the Negative Energy Engines have been activated, you have opened the sluice gate at the dam, the village of Turtleback Ferry is safe.

Sharax now carries with him the ashes of Avaxial and within game mechanics - Outsiders are a pain to resurrect - he can spend as much as required, if he has the dosh, to resurrect his "long-lost-could-have-been-best-friend-ever" Avaxial. However, I advise against believing that Avaxial would be a slave, animal companion, or cohort to whoever brings him back from... well... nothingness as far as I know. Outsiders do not have soul do they? I know that Elemental do not, they "merge" with their element as soon as they are destroyed.

The Nymph Ghost.

Careful with the Diplomacy checks and what you say exactly, she packs a punch.
Especially since the party is not prepared to fight a Ghost.

Next game.

Just to be sure: No "Nerd team" behaviour on Wednesday!
You are the image of EMRPGG, the image of "Vague Connections", the image of... BRITAIN!
Because if you do, you will get bleeding Put Fiend Sorcerers specialising in Phantasmal Killer spells until you are all sick of it!

Laurent,
