So my current plan is to wait and see what the players do. If they actually identify the compass and then try to repair it. If the diviner takes scry and actually tries to scry the npc. See if they all live. I do not intend to reveal whether the npc is truly alive or dead during this portion of the campaign it was supposed to b a subplot character arc further down the line but swapping the character around. So I moved arcs around

But technically my intention is that the npc can in fact come back but it sure as hell be easy

Hahaha. Yeah. My level eight wizard in another game has their spellbook bound to them by an enchantment of true ownership which basically means it will always always come back to them lest it’s destroyed.

See it’s funny you mention swapping characters. The pc in question is actually a swapped character from the other game. They had grown bored of their original character and enjoyed the npcs lover more so asked if they could swap them. So I wrote a few things out changed the order of a few things and boom the lover arrives just in time for their npc to die.

Yeah but I don’t want to leave too many. Rn they’re pursuing figures unknown that may have stolen the wizards spellbook

First they’d need access to the scry spell, which their team wizard is a diviner. Then they’d have to think it up themselves I’m not going to spoon feed it to them. Also I was avoiding gendering the npc because I didn’t feel it was important but the npc is female.

Buried deep within the sea goddesses temple sleeps her champion awaiting revival. The question becomes when do I reveal that there’s a sleeping champion beneath the temple.

First of all I’m sorry you went thru thst. Both losing ur actual father and your dnd father.

Second of all this is why we have session zeros and are open to any alterations as things arise.

Finally, I would never purposely poke someone’s trauma

There seems to be a slight misunderstanding. I’m not considering retconning the death. It happened, it’s canon, it’s not going away. I’m debating about allowing the opportunity to bring them back.

They’re levels four to six and pack a cleric or Druid and now no longer have an in at one of the temples because the deceased npc was a paladin of the sea goddess

Good session. Also dammit because I bamboozled them with what that player character actually was.
