So a brief summary of the game for anyone who cares (I love the way this game turned out, I can't resist sharing).

So the PC's learned a while back that a group of godlike, sentient stars known as the Solari, lead by a white giant named Korion, are about to launch an attack on the world, and have set out to warn as many people as they can about the impending war. Thing is, they got a tip from an old friend of theirs who said that he might have a way to win it before it even starts, and to meet him in the ruins of an ancient, out of the way city.

The friend in question? My old player character, a half Illithid, half angel artificer named Gnosis that was their adventuring buddy back before our old DM left and I took over. He's a complete Mary Sue, but the PC's like him so there weren't any hard feelings.

After braving their way through the city (which had literally come alive, and was trying to kill them), they met up with Gnosis, who explained that he found an ancient idol of Korion built millions of years ago during the first time the Solari attacked the world. The plan was to incarnate Korion into the idol, and then kill it, trapping his mind inside.

And that's exactly what they did. Korion was incarnated, the battle began, the completely broken and overpowered rogue somehow managed to do over 300 damage during the course of the encounter, and Korion looked finished, as he toppled into a chasm.

Too bad he was only pulling the Disney death, and came roaring back, at which point he crushed Gnosis beneath his feet, picked him up, bit him in half, and chucked his corpse at the rogue, who had an enormous crush on him. At this point the PC's made the wise move to GTFO, and booked it. Korion almost managed to kill the party's sorcerer, but due to some quick thinking from the rogue and the bard, escaped with only a pair of broken arms. At that point the enchantment wore off, and Korion was released back into the void.

And then he rose over the horizon, in his true form as a white giant star, summoned the other eight Solari, sent an army of abberant monsters hurtling down to earth in meteors, and provided the campaign with a MASSIVE cliffhanger that will unfortunately not be resolved until September.

And the best part? The party was level EIGHT when this happened.

1. You can login a toon that has the rename flag on it.
2. BUT, you have a window in the middle of your screen that you "have" to address - can't drag it, can't minimize it - where it prompts you for the immediate name change in the game GUI.

You CAN hide your GUI, and you can fight and chat and do other things while that window is up. However, it's very annoying to work around.

Hope this helps, mouse.
