Hello! I'd like some dialogue/script advice for my game.
I'm currently running a game where the PCs are about to venture into an underground monastery (similar to a diablo "evil undead" theme setting).
The PCs will be dealing with an evil Necromancer with scrying capabilities.
The Necromancer will be aware of their presence in the dungeon and will be continuously uttering threats.
What I need are some good pre-written threats.
Here are a few I've come up with already:
-Submit to death! Join me here. Your bodies may wither but your souls will remain forever...in service to me.
-I will tear off your face and feed it to demons
-you will suffer
-I will perform unspeakable acts upon your flesh
-Your skin will be cut and used as parchment for my writings
-Foolish mortals. Do you not see? To become complete, your life/live(s) must end.
Any other dark and evil threats and obscenity ideas would be appreciated ;D

Depending if your player are the genre-savvy type, I would suggest no evil catchphrases at all. A baddie looks way more dangerous if he seems aware of what usually kills the Bad Guy in a story and just states the inevitable.
He may laugh so grimly that his voice seems to be coming from a close room. He may attempt to corrupt the group/spread anarchy/charm characters through data obtained via scrying ; dress undead as relatives to the characters or as themselves after having separated the group to wrong them.
- I will take your body to join my servants
- Your soul shall fuel my magic... forever...
- It is amusing to watch the morals of the heroic wither and die
- blood... blood... blood... blood... blood... blood...
The necro can set up choices to save one of 2 victims. Which ever they chose is really evil and under the necros control. After it attacks he tells them they let the real innocent die. If they do manage to save both, then 2 controlled things attack them.
Your suffering will be eternal!
Ah... more test subjects.
Please try not to break any of your bones. I'll need those later.
Now... which one of you shall I kill first?

Send the pet ghouls after someone downed - "Clean his bones for me, my hungry ones."
Adress the party in general "Excellent. You have done well to bring them here. Once I flense the others clean, you will have your ascension."
"You test yourselves against me? Lose and you serve me for eternity. Slay me and you shall still come to serve me in the end. I have prepared for my death, have you?"
Your loyalty shall falter, you will join the rotting legion of the undead.
Like the sun you shine brighter than most, but soon you shall have to accept the darkness of the moon. Once the sun comes up again, humanity shall be reborn to embrace the darkness and shun the light.
Both your body and mind will only be set free in death.
Have you considered accepting Death into your life?
Depending on where they encounter him, just give him dialogue that makes him oblivious to the evil of his acts. What's scarier than a person utterly convinced they are doing no wrong?

You could always have him sing KILLING TIME.

I think the best thing to think of is conviction in his words, that's better talk than anything cliche.
I am reminded of something I wrote in one of my blogs.
"I will slay you because I have to, I will do it because after all this horrible, bloody work, we will be better for it. The rest of us will survive, and I will be your hero again, or I will carve my glory from your bones."
