But more than that he ensured that copies of the truth of what had happened made it out into the world, warning of threats outside their reality that had once loomed over the world - and how they had been thwarted before.

Vakir Ti'Chak

The Undying Mad Mage of the Astral Sea.

He ended the campaign in a lighthouse in the astral sea, stocked as a library with books gathered spiraling up the structure, his mind fading into madness.

As the rest of the party aged out and died he became a legend, surrounded by the tales of their deeds together.

Course, with the boon of planar travel and having been to the astral sea he had a loophole - so after their victory as his long life began catching up to him he fled to a place where time could not touch him.

But his mind could only last so long there, eaten away by the passage of years.

Ending the threat meant also ending any and all forms of immortality.

The long future he had won for himself was the price of saving the world from its fate to fall back into a cycle of destruction.

And he did it regardless.

At the very end, having gone through so much over the course of the campaign, he realised what victory was going to cost him.

He'd aquired defacto immortality after discovering his family heratage was more complex than he had known - the child of a vampire he shared some of their nature.

He started as a silver dragonborn bard charlitan running from his families killers to one of the heros of the world.

A cowardly character who'd run from his problems so long he rarely kept a name longer than a week. He'd have done anything to survive just that little bit longer.

It is of course bitter sweet to have something that has been a part of my life for so long come to its conclusion, but it was a satisfying conclusion to the story.

It cost my character a lot over the years.

Did it hit him?

No?

Damn.

Yeh I'd completely forgotten that scene, hopefully won't cause too many issues...

This is the new image I meant to put as main pic. It shows the change in Thiel's holdings. Those letters NVDA stand for Nvidia and the words next to it are self-explanatory "SOLD ALL".

Thiel, the closest thing that Silicon Valley has to a bond villain, has pumped & dumped. So...what happens next?!?
