In my most recent D&D campaign -- set in my homebrew world of Embria -- the PCs are Narezza (a hexblood shadow sorcerer/undead warlock) and Lady Buffy (a human cavalier fighter). They have been exploring the Dungeon of the Fire Opal, and recently discovered that the dungeon used to serve as the laboratory to the ancient archmage Thessalar. This discovery was inadvertently made when the released a clone of the archmage from its clone vat. The clone of Thessalar is incredibly personable, amicable... and (Nerezza succeeds on her Insight check) thoroughly bat-shit insane!
