It's ok. I think everyone here has shed at least one tear during this visit.
There was a Shard quest I ran. Durring it was a pre-written one but aparently I presented it just right and had my players and myself weeping at the end of it, even though I knew what was coming.
The party after a long trek arrived at an inn where they had a great time, meet some NPC's including a Mason, and the Inn keepers, and a bard. They find out the bard's wife had died years before and he missed her so greatly he had considered takeing his own life to meet her. The party also learned from the Inn Keepers of bandits who had taken up residence in the town.
After the party healer had mended the masons broken hands, and learning that the bandits had recently burned down the temple in the town and the mason had injured his hands trying to save the priestess the villians arrive and the in goes from well lit and full of food and happy aromas to dark, dusty, empty, and dead.
The party defeated the bandits without hesitation and when the sun came up they examined the temple sight and found the bodies of the villagers dead. The healer casts a spell that lets them see into the ghost world, and they then confront the dead villagers and have to help them move on, with emphasis on the Inn keepers, the bard, and the mason.
Their wasn't a dry eye as the party helped these ghosts move on. Convincing the inn keepers that after all their hard work in helping others to rest, it was their turn to rest and be taken care of. The bard was told to go to his wife, that she had waited long enough and that she would be their waiting. The mason, who had tried to carry people to safety. His body shot to death, he was given a hug and told how great he was, and the temple he had built would be rebuilt, in his, and his love the priestess's honor. |
