The colossal force dragon's instructions were quite clear. Once you had obtained the nexus crystal each of you must prick your finger upon one of its barbs and let a single drop of blood be absorbed into its heart. That was the only way to fracture the epic artifact so that its hold over the pantheon of lesser deities would be undone. Failure in this task would allow its power to grow and it would begin to influence the greater powers.
The quest was long and arduous. However, you and your surviving companions now stood ready to do what must be done. You each reach forward to touch the barbs in unison and watch as the artifact drew a single drop of blood in turn from each of your presented fingers. As the last drop was absorbed into the heart you could sense the pantheon's release as a brilliance radiated outwards from the fractured nexus crystal. The light was calming and all consuming as you lost all sense of the world around you. You could see nothing. You could hear nothing. You could taste, smell, and feel nothing. Yet you were still aware of yourself...for the moment.
Quote the GM:
This 3.5 FR game will let you build a flavorful epic (30th) level character (which everyone loves doing right?) who is now trapped in the non-epic level (2nd) character with only a couple of ties to your once awesome self. A single item and your previous companions are all that prove your sanity. So, what will you do with this new found life in the greater Forgotten Realms campaign setting?
If your interested in taking part, stop by and begin the dialog via your RTJ submission. Space will be limited so dust off your most flavorful Epic character and get ready to downsize with flair. Full current knowledge of Forgotten Realms is not required. Before you ask...Yes, the SRD could be all you have access to and you could be accepted into the game. Express a compelling story and show a passion for your character and you may just find yourself in a quaint village by a clear babbling brook.
