the campaign where we started out as children is wrapping up and... WE DID IT.
- Their childhood friend Willard was the BBEG of the campaign. He turned out to be the prince of the most dag-nasty evil group on the planet, and was forced to shatter his soul and create a phylactery. By sealing away the parts of himself that felt love, compassion, empathy, etc, it enabled him to do some truly cruel things.
- Willard's plan was to have all parts of himself killed for the sake of the phylactery being destroyed, and for the twins to stop him from basically killing their god. Tifenn could not do this.
- Tifenn died. By choice. She had this planned out for months but couldn't let anyone in the party except for her sister know, because she knew they'd try and stop her. So the night before the final confrontation she drank some poison (under the watchful eye of her sister and tutor) and peaced out.
- Dying allowed her to get sucked into the phylactery so she could attempt to rescue the fragments of Willard's soul, and destroy it from within. Only issue was until his physical body died, her soul was trapped, and being drained. If her HP reached 0, she would be annihilated. (Ended at 32/115 :))
- Dying also broke her connection to her eidolon, who attached to her sister in the meantime so he wouldn't get shunted back to his home plane of existence. :(
- Maëlys' task was to get into the castle and kill his physical body (but not destroy it.) Then sloop Tifenn's corpse out next to it, so that when the phylactery was destroyed, she could return to her body.
- Maëlys was hydrated, moisturized, flourishing, in her lane. Opening move was a crit lightning bolt for 88 points of damage. She and her husband dual-tech and stab their rapiers with pinpoint accuracy.
- Surprise, BBEG can push your soul out of your body. Vwoop! Into the phylactery! YOU'RE GOIN' DOWN WITH ME. (cont'd)
