Ur-Shulgi vs. Larloch

Ur-Shulgi vs. Larloch is a What-If? episode of Death Battle. Lichdom isn't for everyone. Neither is vampirism. But Larloch and Ur-Shulgi sho

For this Wizard Wednesday, a fun death battle between a wizard turned Lich and one of the most ancient and powerful Vampires from The Masquerade. I introduced this vamp to my players last week in a non-combat way (of course, I'm not REALLY trying to kill them, just scare them a little). This seems like it was written with third edition D&D rules. I personally would have used all of my spell slots to cast Hold Monster and Dawn over and over again to turn Ur-Shulgi to ash, but I'm more of a damage heavy war caster (no, I don't have that feat yet). Tonight they might get to see what an absolute beast Ur-Shulgi is.

February 8, 2023

Cdawg — Did you have the notion of Vecna having visited or influenced Faerun in the past before WotC introduced it in 5e? Was there no need for it as Larloch fulfilled the preeminent inscrutable lich role?

Ed Greenwood — Oh, yes. TSR in the old days went back and forth on "are the TSR Worlds connected or not" (the Wizards Three DRAGON articles were an editorial assignment to keep visible support for worlds TSR was then englecting), but I had them ALL linked, via gates (portals), as that's where high-level Realmsplay inevitably went: hopping from Prime Material Plane to alternate Prime MAterial Plane (Toril, Krynn, Oerth). So Vecna and others had visited, and been visited. Archvillains can often bankroll their schemes, or get monsters or armies for them, by "robbing" another world.

Juniper Churlgo — Which reminds me of an ancient unanswered question for Ed. Any gates between Abernys (Birthright) and Toril?

Ed Greenwood — Yes, there are gates linking Abernys and Toril, but the NDAs stand thick and strong on this, still.

Cdawg — This makes me wonder if Larloch and Vecna ever met. (I doubt it would be directly). If so, how did that encounter go?

Ed Greenwood — They've met more than once. Most of their meetings did not go well. They are...guardedly polite with each other, since Vecna discovered how much more powerful Larloch is than he is.

Augustoc — Larloch is above deity level? Really?

Ed Greenwood — Larloch has HUNDREDS of "bound" liches working for him, in three worlds. And where Vecna has a Plan B, Larloch has a Plan E. That shook Vecna a lot.

Augustoc — Also, Larloch is canon in other worlds? I wasn't aware of that. Where else can one see his influence besides Toril?

Ed Greenwood — Another meaty SMACK. Those NDAs are EVERYWHERE. Old friends; you'll come to hate them as much as I do, soon.
