Ok so its like this: One of my players essentially made a deal with death to gain power and intact there revenge. In exchange her husbands and daughter souls where being kept as ransom till she had completed the deed at which point her soul would belong to death and her family would be allowed to move on. If however she didn't accomplish her goal they all would forever belong to death and as punishment be separated from each other in limbo. Now this player went and got themselves killed and my Cleric of the group wants to use raise the dead i believe on them, would that be possible? If technically her soul in now in deaths hands?? I know what i want to happen for purpose of story and awesomeness but i need non biased opinions XD
What you now have, dear Internet GM, is a marvelous opportunity to snare your life cleric into a deal with Death, as well.
"Sure, I'll let you have your friend back..but you'll have to do me a favor in return..."
After all, Death doesn't want the original player to renege on her deal. Death wants whatever that character was supposed to do. It'd make sense to let them take another crack, but not for free. Ohhhh, no. Not for free.
In the car so can't type much, but was discussing the idea with my brother. He had an idea worth investigating: "you serve ME, until her bargain is complete", and the cleric's domain changes to Death until the dead character's original deal is complete.
Now, that's the sort of thing that could severely piss off a player, the GM should always step veeery carefully when imposing sweeping mechanical changes like that on a player..but you know your table, and would know if the cleric's player would find that a deeply compelling story or find it to be ruining their cleric. But the 'Crisis of Faith' story could be a neat one.
My player are awesome ive put them through some tuff changes and they roll with it i think he would hate me but in a good way XD if that makes sense. so this is defiantly and option. Thank You!
