okay, I need some advice. I'm running a campaign with some friends and one of them due to real life promotion, can no longer attend. That person is playing a fighter who is the wife of the barbarian in the grp (aka they are a real life married couple). well since the grp is basically at 3rd lvl, I asked the wife what to do with her character since thye are knee deep in a dungeon. She says the character can be killed off or captured or whatever I want to do with it. The husband eventually wants to be a frenzy barbarian, so I was thinking of someway to capture the fighter while they are knee deep in the dungeon. Basically use her as a cookie trail incase they get off track and then right before the barbarian is high enough lvl to become frenzy, have her murdered right before his eyes in a very very messed up situation. basically tying ingame how the barbarian became frenzy, trail them along, etc etc.
now what I need advice on is HOW to capture the fighter knee deep in a dungeon. Was thinking about using magic or at least a creature who can teleport. reason is why I need either those 2 ways is because A. it fits the scenario where they are at with ALOT of haunts and caster users, and B. I see them either running off away from their present scenario OR catching u with the kidnapper and thus ending the chance of being captured.
So what spells or creatures have the ability to basically teleport and grab someone and teleport back carrying a npc/creature that is unwilling, and how u would do it? the caster who I will have scrying on them is lvl 8.
Well a teleportation trap is one option. One of the major problems is that its technically not possible to teleport someone who is unwilling. But that can be fixed. A succubus or a higher level caster can show up, suggestion/dominate the fighter, then teleport away with them.
As the GM, you don't necessarily HAVE to follow the rules if it fits the story. You can just say that she touches something and disappears or that she falls through a floor/wall and it seals behind her. Say that your bad guy has a teleporting ability like this one.
Very true I dont HAVE to follow the rules, but was gonna try since my grp basically is nothing but a bunch of dms who never get to eplay the game. So yes it is gonna be forced onto them that she gets missing, I wanted to no if there was ways that was in the game to do so instead of it being the dm says this happened and it did.
That is a good suggestion with the crypt fiend though, that gives me a great idea. Ill have to retweek what exactly the guy did. Dangit I would write it here but I woukdnt want to spoil carrion crown for anyone. Hehehe brilliant, tyvm!
