01 "Before Me you are a slug in the sun. You are privy to a great Becoming and
you recognize nothing. You are an ant in the after-birth. It is in your nature to
do one thing correctly: before Me you rightly tremble. Fear is not what you owe Me,
you and the other pismires. You owe Me awe."
02 "You are strong, child, but I am beyond strength. I am the end."
03 "Lay down your arms...or I will lay them down for you"
04 "Why don't you understand that I'm just trying to fix all these problems?
Whenever you try to help you make things worse, but I make things better. So many
things are flawed and I'm just tidying things up."
05 "So you made it. What do you want? applause? curses? Perhaps a theatrical
monologue expressing my certain victory or inevitable ascension? no. You may
believe me the villain, but villains only exist in history books written by those
whose will triumphs over others. If you defeat me today I won't give you the
pleasure of killing a proud man. My path has cost everyone much I know that. Too
much now to stop. This never was some children's game. It always was war. and I
intend to finish the fight."
06 "You are weak. Undisciplined. Cowering behind walls. You're not brave. You've
merely forgotten the fear of death. Allow me to reacquaint you."
07 Well, here we are. I ask you, hero, did a single of my skeletons wander forth
from my home to harm you? To harm anyone dear to you? Have I, hero, with a thousand
years of arcane mysteries laid like treasures in my mind, stolen but a single coin
from you? Is not my wealth my own? And yet, hero, you have broken my home, slain my
friends and servants, stolen my rightful goods. What do you have that you did not
take? All you have learned, hero, all of your experiences, are built on the
destruction of others. What, tell me hero, have you ever gained that someone else
has not lost by your "righteous" hand? It is true that I sold my soul for power,
but have you not done the same piecemeal? And do you not seek yet yet more power at
my demise? I cannot fault your intentions, hero, we are kindred in a sense, but now
it is time you learn the harsh reality of the inheritance of power. To the eldest
goes all.
08 "So here we are. You know my reasons, and I know yours. I understand, I truly
do - and it will not stop me. If that is what you wish, you will need to bring me
down yourselves. Come then, let us find the winner of this game once and for all!"
09 Ohoho, you're approaching me?
10 “Mercy? You dare ask me for mercy? What mercy was extended to me, broken and
bleeding in the snow? What mercy was given to my men, frozen and starving in those
long winter nights? … What mercy was given to my wife, whom I left and thought safe
in the company of traitors? And of my child, of only three years...? What was given
to us but death and befoulment? We were good people… We were good people… And now I
am all that is left.”
11 “Do you think I enjoy this? Being a monster? It is a hell worse than death.
But I exist in it. Do you think I like looking at the faces of my brothers-in-arms,
knowing that what they once were was robbed from them, never to return? I have told
them they are blessed, because without it they are damned. They believe me because
they have no one else. They need me as much as I need them. Together we will find
our vengeance. We will find our rest.”
12 “Know that I hold no malice towards you, mortals. You are simply acting on
what you perceive to be the right thing to do. You may walk away, leave in peace,
if you so choose. I offer that to you now. But I will have my vengeance this day,
and I will destroy anything that dares try and stop me. You do what you feel you
have to do, mortals. And so will I.”
13 "This is the best part of the story. The part where you think the hero just
might not triumph. That this will be their final journey... fear not, in the end I
will prevail."
14 what? Did you expect a long monologue?
15 I don't even know who you are / “Do I know you?”
16 I am...tired. .... I have worked without a will for sleep or rest. Repose was
lost to me the minute you people walked into the Court. I had everything within the
palm of my hand until you killed the King and seduced the Dragon I had laying in
wait in the crypts....HOW DID YOU DO THAT?! ... No...do not answer that question.
Don't even strum that cursed lute you utter buffoon. ... I can only rest with your
heads on spikes...maybe I'll repaint my chambers in your blood as a grim reminder
of what it means to have a good work ethic, which is more than I can say for you
sorry lot of purposeless vagabonds!
17 "God's gift. Your violence. When I came downstairs in my home, and I saw that
tree in my living room, it reached out for me... a divine hand. God loves violence.
Why else would there be so much of it? It's in us. It's what we are. We wage war,
we burn sacrifices, and pillage and plunder and tear at the flesh of our brothers.
And why? Because God gave us violence to wage in his honor. There's no moral order
as pure as this storm. There's no moral order at all. There's just this: can my
violence conquer yours?"
18 In response to threat by party indicating they will defeat the boss: The
boss, looks them up and down, squints, and smirks "How?"
19 My name is Yoshikage Kira. I'm 33 years old. My house is in the northeast
section of Morioh, where all the villas are, and I am not married. I work as an
employee for the Kame Yu department stores, and I get home every day by 8 PM at the
latest. I don't smoke, but I occasionally drink. I'm in bed by 11 PM, and make sure
I get eight hours of sleep, no matter what. After having a glass of warm milk and
doing about twenty minutes of stretches before going to bed, I usually have no
problems sleeping until morning. Just like a baby, I wake up without any fatigue or
stress in the morning. I was told there were no issues at my last check-up. I'm
trying to explain that I'm a person who wishes to live a very quiet life. I take
care not to trouble myself with any enemies, like winning and losing, that would
cause me to lose sleep at night. That is how I deal with society, and I know that
is what brings me happiness. Although, if I were to fight I wouldn't lose to
anyone. (tailor to suit your setting)
20 "Rudimentary creatures of blood and flesh, you touch my mind, fumbling in
ignorance, incapable of understanding....There is a realm of existence so far
beyond your own you cannot even imagine it. I am beyond your comprehension. I am
Sovereign...Reaper? A label created by the Protheans to give voice to their
destruction. In the end, what they chose to call us is irrelevant. We simply...
are...Organic life is nothing but a genetic mutation, an accident. Your lives are
measured in years and decades. You wither and die. We are eternal, the pinnacle of
evolution and existence. Before us, you are nothing. Your extinction is inevitable.
We are the end of everything... You exist because we allow it, and you will end
because we demand it... My kind transcends your very understanding. We are each a
nation - independent, free of all weakness. You cannot grasp the nature of our
existence....We have no beginning. We have no end. We are infinite. Millions of
years after your civilization has been eradicated and forgotten, we will endure...
We are legion. The time of our return is coming. Our numbers will darken the sky of
every world. You cannot escape your doom... Your words are as empty as your future.
I am the Vanguard of your destruction. This exchange is over..."
21 "I will grow, know my name. I am hope, I am the 'Frame. I advance up from the
deep. A new chance, the march of the machines"
22 "Twelve. There were twelve other groups just like yours. Comrades in arms,
just like you. Prodigious fighters, just like you. Armed to the teeth with weapons
and potions and spells, just like you. Twelve groups of fools who believed that
they could band together and defeat me. Twelve groups of fools who believed they
wouldn't make the same mistakes as those who came before them. Twelve sets of
shallow graves left unmarked. What precisely makes you think that you will be
anything other than Group Thirteen?"
23 For you, the day <BBEG>[graced/attacked/decimtate] your [village/home/realm]
was the most important day of your life. But for me, it was Tuesday.
24 "So you've answered the call, and dug deep into your soul. Did you really
believe that this was your legend unfolding? Think again, for now it is my turn to
roll!"
25 "Where there is a God, there must be a Devil. [turns dramatically and bows
towards the party] Please, allow me to introduce myself..."
26 "All I wanted was to provide order to this world. All I wanted was to unite
this world under one undisputed rule. All I wanted was a world were everyone knew
their place in life. I was this close to creating this utopia... but then you came,
blinded by tales of heroics, and branded me a villain. You... idiots... came, and
you fucked it all up! Well, if you believe that this world doesn't deserve order...
[opens up a portal to a Blood War battlefield]... THEN LET ANARCHY REIGN!!!"
27 ‘You heroes are all the same, frantically running from fight to fight with
nary a concern for the consequences you leave in your wake. How many towns did you
save, only to move on while farmers try to figure out how to grow crops and feed
their family when their farms were burned down? How many did you save from oncoming
hordes only to demand their life savings as ‘just reward’. Here is a better
question, how many children did you leave to die in this crumbling city, as you
chased after me, all in the name of grand heroics? Heroes? Ha! Don’t make me laugh!
For all my deeds at least I am under no illusions as to who and what I am.’
28 “All your adventures, all your efforts and all your hard work. For what? To
be defeated my me? How many must You kill just the get a shot at me? All these
dead... there would’ve been less casualties without your interventions and
intrusions! And what will you have to show for it? Nothing. Nothing at all. I will
end you and your self righteousness right now!”
29 “I know what it’s like to lose. To feel so desperately that you are right,
yet to fail nonetheless. Dread it, run from it? Destiny arrives all the same. And
now it is here... or should I say, I am.”
30 Oh that? That was just business.
31 "It is a strange fate that we should suffer so much fear and doubt over so
small a thing. Such a little thing."
32 "You know, i was actually regarded as a hero once, people would all hail my
name. Its funny back then it seemed important but when you arent adventuring
anymore people will forget you. They will exclude you. I never stopped being a hero
you know. My goals have just shifted, perhaps if you win you will follow my
footsteps." -- former hero
32 Sigh "while i am flattered by your presence i would prefer if you go home, i
know you are all astonished by me and such but honestly? heroes arent my type, too
preachy. Go home and live another day, i even buy first round at the tavern" --
charmer
33 "Did you know most small skirmishes last between 6 seconds and a minute, my
own statistics says they never last more than 18 seconds" -- bookeeper type
34 "Have you ever thought about the gods? Like really thought about them? What
if the gods arent mercifull, what if they decieve us? What if they just chug us
into a great divine incinerstor to power the devine magic they grant their clerics?
I decided not to take the risk but if you do find out tell me" --undead
35 Party indicates some foul deed BBEG has done: "Do you have any idea how
little that narrows it down?"
36 "For someone within range of my magics, you are awfully arrogant. Perhaps
this is some kind of depressive death wish. Fear not, once you die I'll raise you
and give you something that approaches a purpose."
37 Darkness and death are all that remains for you here at the end... Your
lands, your people, your loved ones will be little more than kindling to my
inferno. Gods and devils rightly fear me yet you fools fight on to the last
breath... Did you really think there was any other ending? I am infinite... I am
inevitable... [1/3]
38 I'll let you live just long enough to see every light extinguished, when
darkness swallows all you shall be last. [2/3]
39 You may be strong, but I am beyond strength... [3/3]
40 Bold words for someone in crushing range."
41 "Ho? You're approaching me? Instead of running away, you're approaching me?"
50 I understand how you could think what I have done is irredeemable. However,
my heart and my actions are utterly unclouded. They are all taken in the name of
justice. I am the only one that can save this wretched world, and I'll do whatever
it takes to do just that.
51 "I am frankly embarrassed to have allowed you to get this far, and will be
rectifying that oversight with extreme prejudice immediately.
52 "It doesn't matter who wins, really. The crowds will cheer on the victors,
regardless of whether they are motivated by fear, or by adulation. Although, in
your case, I suppose it'll just be relief that you didn't fuck up one more time."
53 "Mercy is not a luxury either of us have anymore. If I slay you, rest assured
that your families will follow you soon. It would be wise of you to accept this as
a gift."
54 "When you set off on your tottering quest into the unknown, did you ever
expect it to end crushed under the booted heel of the god of the new world?"
55 You lack of imagination is insulting. Generation after generation you mortals
try to hurt me, using the same old methods. Fire and metal? Blood, violence and
fury? Pain? Sacrifice? SELF RIGHTEOUS MEAT? Try and try again, you still believe
these things make me... weaker?
56 "Who did you think was behind all of this? The gods? Perhaps the Devils?
No... Just me!"
57 "My child, why do you point that weapon at me? Do you not recognize the one
the prophets have predicted? The one destined to put an end to all strife in this
world? The one to usher a new age of harmony? The price may be great, but it is all
part of the Holy One's plan. The suffering of those you fight for is just a means
to that end....."I know that the youngest of my apostles betrayed me, and that is
okay. When his corpse hits the soil, all will be forgiven. And I forgive you too,
my child....."Of course, you will have to die in order to truly repent."
58 “So... you finally found me.”
59 “I’ve been waiting for you to arrive.”
60 “Just you [insert number of pcs]? That’s it?”
61 “While you’ve been chasing kobolds and goblins all over the place, I’ve been
swinging this big dick in the halls of power. Now, step aside, necro-fodder.”
62 “Ooh. Lunch has arrived.”
63 “Minions... bring me my torture kit.”
64 "Adventurers a lot like toys. When you break them, it makes children cry.
Which is, obviously, desirable.”
65 "It is such an odd thing, seeing others willingly run towards their own
death. One would think I would be used to such futile gestures bye now, but it
never fails to intrigue me."
66 “TALKING MAKE KRAG MAD!” (obviously a BBDEG, D for dumb :-) )
67 ”It took hundreds to kill me...but I’ve killed humans by the thousands! I am
sublime! I am the true face of evil!”
68 "It's about legacy. You see, when I have children, I'm going to leave them
the world as my legacy. They will wish for nothing. You can't make a comfy nest
without spilling a few liters of blood."
69 You've meddled one too many times. Those idiots I sent to dispatch you were
nothing compared to me.
70 I've watched. I've waited. And now you've made your way to your doom. To me.
71 I can smell you. The fear. The tension. The rage. It will be an honor to add
you and your friends to my collection finally.
72 "Suppose that you were sitting down at this table. The napkins are in front
of you, which napkin would you take? The one on your ‘left’? Or the one on your
‘right’? The one on your left side? Or the one on your right side? Usually you
would take the one on your left side. That is ‘correct’ too. But in a larger sense
on society, that is wrong. Perhaps I could even substitute ‘society’ with the
‘Universe’. The correct answer is that ‘It is determined by the one who takes his
or her own napkin first.’ …Yes? If the first one takes the napkin to their right,
then there’s no choice but for others to also take the ‘right’ napkin. The same
goes for the left. Everyone else will take the napkin to their left, because they
have no other option. This is ‘society’… Who are the ones that determine the price
of land first? There must have been someone who determined the value of money,
first. The size of the rails on a train track? The magnitude of electricity? Laws
and Regulations? Who was the first to determine these things? Did we all do it,
because this is a Republic? Or was it Arbitrary? NO! The one who took the napkin
first determined all of these things! The rules of this world are determined by
that same principle of ‘right or left?’! In a Society like this table, a state of
equilibrium, once one makes the first move, everyone must follow! In every era,
this World has been operating by this napkin principle. And the one who ‘takes the
napkin first’ must be someone who is respected by all. It’s not that anyone can
fulfill this role… Those that are despotic or unworthy will be scorned. And those
are the ‘losers’. In the case of this table, the ‘eldest’ or the ‘Master of the
party’ will take the napkin first… Because everyone ‘respects’ those individuals."
73 “All your adventures, all your efforts and all your hard work. For what? To
be defeated my me? How many must You kill just the get a shot at me? All these
dead... there would’ve been less casualties without your interventions and
intrusions! And what will you have to show for it? Nothing. Nothing at all. I will
end you and your self righteousness right now!”...“I know what it’s like to lose.
To feel so desperately that you are right, yet to fail nonetheless. Dread it, run
from it? Destiny arrives all the same. And now it is here... or should I say, I am.
74 You've meddled one too many times. Those idiots I sent to dispatch you were
nothing compared to me.
75 I've watched. I've waited. And now you've made your way to your doom. To me.
76 Behold true glory! Behold true power! Behold! I am your reckoning!
77 I can smell you. The fear. The tension. The rage. It will be an honor to add
you and your friends to my collection finally.
78 The Wheel of Time moves forward. Progress moves with it. You are no longer
needed for this divine mechanism. 79
80 It's amusing how hard you tried just to get here. This should be simple.
81 You've gathered your friends. You've gathered your arms. Yet you did not
gather the only thing that matters. 82
83 Ah. Arrival at last. I was beginning to wonder when you would show. I need
your souls please.
84 I am gifting you relief from the strife and struggle you continue to find
yourself in. Why fight this beautiful gift?
85 You think yourselves clever? Allow me to show you true intellectual prowess.
86 I am TIRED of you GETTING in MY way! Shut up and DIE ALREADY!
87 You've fought your way through entire armies. You've solved countless ageless
puzzles. And for what? Some sense of righteousness? Some sense of heroism? Fame?
Come. I will give you final rest.
88 I win. Not even all of you working together can stop me. I have thought of
every possibility, every move you can make. No matter what you do, you will fail.
My master will rise. And this pathetic little world will be brought to its knees by
his power. Enjoy your last few days of freedom.
89 Well, it appears that I am outnumbered seven to one. Heh. You should have
brought more people.
90 Here’s the deal. Your group and I will fight, should I defeat you, I win.
Should defeat me, the ancient dragon I am controlling with this staff will break
free. Being the hero’s you are, you will go to stop it. I’ll flee and I’ll win. If
you chose to kill me before focusing on the dragon, well, I’ll give it one last
command to devour you. I win. If you kill me and destroy the staff the dragon will
rampage, once again giving you two options. If you don’t fight the dragon, my army
will kill it making me a martyr and you the villains who let it lose. If you do
fight it my army will kill you in your weakened state. My son will then take over
in my stead and take over the world. You have no options. I am Xanatos and you
cannot beat me.
91 You have been tricked. I was never on your side. The items you have been
helping me with? They are used to permanently seal the gods away from this world.
No. More. Gods. No more magic. It’s ironic really, the power they brought to this
world will soon seal them out. If it makes you feel any better, I did enjoy our
travels
92 "Now I judge you. To the charge of betraying your own flesh, guilty. To the
charge of being human, when we could have been gods, guilty! The sentence is death.
93 "Really? That's it? You are the cause of my troubles? This is, this is
pathetic! Where are my real nemesis? This ridiculous group of, of nothings!? Of
ants?!?! increasing in loudness: This has TO BE A JOKE!!! ARGH! Deep breath,
whispering: Keep it together. Normal voice: Who sent you? Nevermind, I'll get it
from you in all sorts of ways."
94 "So, adventurers, you have cut a bloody swath through my home and finally
come to me. How many of my servants lie dead at your hands?"
95 "Hah, evil? I am merely running experiments in my home and you pot smashing
murder hobos have come to kill me for glory and gold, not for good or justice."
96 “You wish to stop me? And yet I could not have accomplished all of this
without you. Who sowed the seeds of doubt among the dwarfkin? Who rid the caves of
those troublesome abominations? Who deposed the regent, the only one standing
between me and the fateful scrolls?
97 “We are not enemies, you and I. Quite the opposite—you have been my most
faithful servants.”
98 "I started my plans centuries before any of you were born. I fought dragons,
enslaved giants and killed hundreds of thousands of people of all races. Why, you
ask?... All you need to know is that he will be sent to a circle in Hell especially
made for him. And if you don't leave this place right now, you annoyances might
just be there to greet the bastard."
99 Well, I tried.
100 One step left now, it's almost time, Show you what my determination has still
left for you to get back to. You should prepare to just die like all your friends,
you'll have a really good time. But guys like you are always just fools. Come at
me, try to kill me with your fancy tools. Let's go, now the room gets chiller.
Let's go, just another killer."
Another table for the less serious entries, but might be perfect for your style of
campaign:
d8 Quote
1 ah fuck, hold on.
2 Whispers into a stone of sending "Karen, which group of adventurers are these
again?"
3 thought you caught me with pants down? Think again. Flush sounds.
4 "I am complete! Yes you are fucked, shit out of luck. Now I'm complete and my
cock you will suck. This world will be mine and you're first in line. You brought
me the pick and now you shall both die!"
5 (Heavily annoyed at themselves.) "Ooooh noooooo, I don't need to write my
dramatic speech for the brave adventurers just yet! I have daaaaaays before they
even get close to foiling my brilliant plan. There's noooo way they did everything
they could possibly do to stop me in time, no sir. I just have to make sure I don't
waste all my time setting up the lighting and decorations of my lair."
6 So here we are, my friends, alone at last.
The board is set, the dice are nearly cast.
I must admit, you’re better than I thought -
The traps you found, the monsters that you fought
Have defeated countless scores before you
I never thought such fools could see it through.
And yet you stand here arrogant and proud
Not realising your clothes are but a shroud.
Now some of us will die but one will live -
Let’s finish this. Roll for initiative
7 "What th- how in the- how did you get in- Arrgh! Dammit... CLAUS!!! CANCEL MY
SPA APPOINTMENT, I GOT ANOTHER BUNCH OF PESTS TO DEAL WITH... AND FIRE THE GUARDS
WHILE YOU'RE AT IT... bunch of slackers probably got killed... again!"
8 Well, I tried
