Question regarding PC death?
Hello everyone,
my party just finished book 1 and everyone is incredible hyped.
Themes for every PC are starting to crystallize and I am brainstorming on ways I can further establish them.
One of the PCs is playing a Battle Bard Orc, that pretends to be a travelling healer/entertainer, while actually being a hired assasin with the target being the governor. She was always independent and never worked in service of someone for long. Tried to run as soon as things got to "hot".
The player is one of my most trusted friends and she trust me fully in developing her story, as I know a lot of her creative work and tastes.
If she dies, I wish for her to wake up in a theatre. This theatre being located in the Boneyard and having 2 actors (Psychopomps) rehearsing a play about free will and choice, when under duress.
In the end she has the choice to serve Pharasma for eternity and be reborn as a duskwalker or accept death.
(Maybe Pharasma still takes Elizeth Candora as a deposit for bringing someone back to the "living")
I maybe want to make a red herring story, where she initially believes the political turmoil got her a contract, but in reality psychopomps have guided fate for her to be in Willowshore during the events.
As I have only read book 1 and part of book 2, my questions are now the following:
- Are there significant story elements that block the idea of someone returning as a duskwalker on behalf of Pharasma?
- Are there significant story elements that require Elizeth?
- Are there good moments in the following books that would suit the themes and be appropriate intersections?
