Veeky Forums's first born is the ancient evil. Will you quest against your very own flesh and blood?

Of course, who else is going to do the job?
>I brought you into this world, I can damn well take you out of it as well
>Now go to your room, you're grounded for another 1,000 years

>Final bossfight is against your own female party members.

There's actually a template based around this in 3.5, was in the same book as that Moose Demigod of spite, was also in Citscape as a Dread necromancer.

My current character? He'd probably raise him to try and be good, despite the evil nature inherent in him, because he knows what it's like. It'd probably turn into an anime-esque "Help me dad, kill me, I can't fight it's influence for much longer" sort of fight, knowing my DM.

And it'd wrench my fucking heart in two

That would be kind of sad

you mean like imprisonment?

I've always thought this exact thing whenever an evil awakens after "10,000 years" or something.

They were literally sealed away by Cavemen; by humanity when it was in the neolithic, I'm not sure they'll do much better now that it's the modern era and there's computers, nuclear armaments, and 7-11's.

......Unless it's a ferngully kind of situation and the lack of industrialization was impeding their power and the modern age has and will in fact make them exceedingly powerful than we could ever possibly imagine.

gotta relative in jail?

>ancient evil awakens and tries to restart its old evil empire
>however modern evil is so well established that it cant get started
>ends up becoming an object of worship for a small sewer dwelling cult and dreams of its glory days

I meant the spell but sure.

>After awakening, the Ancient Evil immediately spends the next six months in the bathroom since there was nowhere to go in its prison.

>ancient evil

>doesn't awake

Could still be effective if it's sheer passive evilness leaks out into the world around it, and a bunch of lesser evils are motivated to be more active by the prospect of either waking it up or keeping it asleep and stealing its power.

This positively needs to be further developped

Almost exactly this happens in Buffy at some point. Bitch blows away an "undefeatable ancient evil" with a goddamn rocket launcher.

I've gotten to the point where it takes me 40 to 60 minutes to fap
Because I fap twice a day every day.

My main character quested against his own father and aunt, grand-parents, cousins and brothers. It's complicated.
Questing against his child would not be surprising

>realizing potential profit, the party steals the ancient evil casket and goes on a worldwide tour playing songs using turn undead

Does turn undead make skellys roll around in their caskets? It could be like ribcage xylophone pina colada. A single cleric using turn undead on boxed skellys. Who needs a bard anyway

Some goth artificer making a really edgy pipe organ out of hollowed out skellybones and the souls of the damned escaping through them makes sound.

>Some bard finds it and only uses it to play jaunty circus music

I would totaly watch that anime

Okay this is too fucking much, lay off the ancient evil.

There's an old isekai manga about a school girl who's the ancient evil of the fantasy world she's spirited away to. The brooding beau who's protecting her from various assailants is the destined hero who's supposed to kill her.

She and the readers only find out about that very late into the series because she doesn't speak - or even understand - the langauge spoken by the natives for an equally long time.

>ancient evil awakened a while ago but layed low and became a law abiding citizen because it didn't want to get back in that damn hole for another 10,000 years

>The ancient evil awakens
>The plot she has been brooding on for thousands of years has been trivialized by modern technology, to the point of being less a humanity-ending event and more of a harmless prank
