The End
Dave, Fist of Odin, resurrects Sarah DeVaunet.
Vrill’s eyes widen in disbelief. He’s about to give a final monologue, but is momentarily caught off-guard. You all watch for a second as the young woman rises to her feet, moths returning to flit around her head. She stretches, looks around, takes a few steps towards Gregory Vrill, kisses him on the cheek, and he falls to his knees screaming. When it stops, Vrill is much reduced- just the broken, bitter shell of a poor failure of a man.
But not dead. That, apparently, is your job.
…
Sarah’s work done, she ignores the lot of you, and begins to uncreate Croatius’ realm. Hedges begin to dissolve.
You shake out of a momentary daze, along with Vrill, and re-re-commence the final fight.
All things in fairy tales come in threes, and so it is here- three actors, three avatars of Zelba, three deaths of Croatius and Gregory Vrill, and finally, three rounds left of combat. But not against Vrill the demi-god, or arch-mage, or whatever. Just a guy low on hp and spells. It’s over in three more rounds, given the rolls you’ve got, and what Vrill has left in spells and potions.
You, or those of you still alive, slaughter him, as the world around you disappears. You finally attend to this upon Vrill’s final, ultimate, once-and-fucking-for-all death.
…
You realize what’s happening here- the annihilation of the world, and in true PC form, you do the only logical thing: start grabbing treasure. (And the bodies of your dead friends.) Sarah waves to you and smiles, and all goes dark…
…
[Congratulations, all. Job well done, everyone. This concludes the module and the (first) DiD campaign.]
