My best story involves a globetrotting race that lasted for a month and a half worth of sessions...the group was running against another team trying to gather a series of artifacts to prevent an evil mage from opening a portal releasing an Unspeakable Horror. They were REALLY looking forward to killing that other group, even though they'd beat them to the punch and end up with the artifact first. Finally, they confront the big boss at mystic site where he's just about to start the ritual...
Party Leader: So how are you going to open the portal without all the artifacts?! Evil Mage: Oh, those things? I hired that other team the second I found out you were on my trail. The artifacts are powerful, but while you were chasing my team all over creation, I went and got the ritual tome myself. It's the only thing I need. Yes, I stole that from the Evil Overlord list...so what have you done that caused your players' jaws to drop? |
