Hey @TheEdVerse how does Larloch feel about Acererak? And would they oppose each other. Or possibly work together? One of my players’s wants to use Larloch as a warlock patron, and is this common for him to give out power to mortals, or non evil/sinister beings? 🙂 #loremaster They'd probably eventually oppose each other. Larloch feels A's current tactics to be brute force and unsubtle and…crass. To L, true success is manipulating others so subtly they don't realize it, but do your bidding well. L would indeed work w/mortals of all sorts, so: YES.

Awesome! Thank you so much. I was trying to find way to contrast these liches like Szass Tam, Larloch, Aesperus and Valindra with Acererak’s crazyness in Chuult 🙂 Larloch plays the long game. He's interested in influencing all races, not just humans, and tailor life on Toril to be more like…what? THAT'S the mystery, to the rest of us. What is he aiming for?

This was great! Thank you so much Ed for this kinda stuff! Now I just gotta give Larloch a cool voice if he is goinf to address the party. I think Nick Cage is off the table tho eh haha 🙂 maybe an Alan Rickman impression (RIP) Douglas Rain doing the voice of HAL in 2001. Deeper, but that same softly dispassionate oh-so-neutral manner. ;}
