Last night we had the first of the highly anticipated Druid Cycle hero deaths, and the doomed man was Pyrrhus, the greatest rogue in all the world. Pyrrhus, an NPC, had been a Druid Cycle mainstay since he was introduced alongside Ixion (Jason) and Hachulors (Scott) in 1994. Few characters were as fun for me to play at the table. With his annoying nasal voice and outrageously over-the-top New York City accent, Pyrrhus was as memorable for his words as for his deeds. He always seemed to be operating in a moral gray area, but there was no mistaking his allegiance at the end, when he died in battle against Ekhis.
The next major death is coming up very soon, and this time, my friends, it's going to be a player character...
