Jan. 13th, 2018 09:51 pmI'll make another post about real life tomorrow. Maybe. I really don't feel like it.
So I'm posting about D&D.
So, I still had trouble trying to figure out how my character(s) was dealing with having been cloned and not knowing which was the original. They chose randomly among themselves, and the one who "won" the pool to stay with the people she cared about... I had trouble wrapping my brain around it, her feeling shitty, knowing there's a 75% chance she's not really real. So, I decided, sorta at the last minute, that she would just ghost everybody, leaving one of the other copies who had been planning to leave but hadn't done so yet. So I'm playing myself still, with the sense of there still being a 75% chance she's not real, and having undeservedly been given the gift of remaining with the people she cares about.
So they began the journey to their home base, the temple that was currently housing the little girl who was being worshiped as a goddess. And it turns out now that my character is being hunted by a lich. It's complicated? In her home reality (which we don't know how to get back to), she's a witch, and her patron is a nice Eladrin lich. In this one, a version of that lich still exists, but he's not so nice. He decided to tolerate her existence, but became rather annoyed when he suddenly sensed increasing numbers of her.
He was supposed to be in the fey wild, but seems to be sending armies of murderous eladrin into the natural world. In the Fey wild, there are supposed to be archfey, and they're supposed to be cyclical, but he has wiped them out and stopped them from reincarnating. This was something that one of my character's clones decided she'll go off to do (perhaps some future game?). I've pretty much figured out that he's likely keeping their hearts frozen, thus keeping them in a sort of stasis. I "just" need to find where they're being kept, and destroy them, and then little baby archfey can get reincarnated all throughout the feywild. As babies, they won't really be prepared to fend off an invasion from Aberrant creatures, though. Like I said, possible future game.
So now he's hunting my character(s) down... and these aberrant creatures still exist somewhere, and have also been interested in the Fey Wild. So... the concern is that if we defeat or weaken this lich (I think his power probably borders on godlike), that evil as he is, he's needed to keep the Aberrant creatures from invading the Fey wild.
So I need him to stop fucking with me so I don't have to deal with him, and then unwittingly give the even scarier aberrant things what they want. I'm trying to figure out if there's some way I can try to get them to focus on each other, so I can then try to put a stop to the aberrant creatures. I can't really reason with the lich because I'll probably be attacked by his underlings on sight.
Oh, and they want to cut out and freeze my heart. Apparently he thinks I might reincarnate. Which is interesting. Also horrifying since there are multiples of me.
Sorry that sounds so convoluted.
Another HUGE reason I need to prioritize dealing with the nasty aberrant creatures... We've speculated I may not be a copy, and there may not be an original. We may have been divided. It was also pointed out that if I was divided, and we found six... there should be two more, likely still captive. That can't be ignored. I have to free myself from these things while trying not to be murdered by a lich who really deserves to be defeated but is necessary for the safety of the feywild for a little while longer.
