Your character enters a climactic duel with his/her nemesis

youtube.com/watch?v=X9gTOF726s8

I don't have a character fancy enough to justify this, but I want one.

>"You have manipulated the kindness of others far too long. You will learn why you will never have your father's mansion the Shadowrealm. You will learn why you will never have your mother's throne in the Abyss. You will learn why even the gods take pity on you.

"Pity is what failed to change you. I will give you what you desperately need: fear. Fear of what happens when you try to use good souls for your petty conquest."

We're actually so autistic, we have a full OST for the first half of the 4 year campaign we're on.

JESUS.
The longest campaign I've ever been part of is on its third lap, a few months away from hitting our third Christmas.

We're in 6-7 different states. It's all online.

... It's hard. But it's 90% retention of PCs, so that's nice. Roll20, Mythweavers, and DnDtools are godsends.

Dude... we lost over half of our guys.
The only original gang members still in character are me and two of the long-runners.
I swear that one monk that's toughed it out will get his immortality, though.

Character concept, not character.

Music's for when he finds the ex-duke who ordered the sacking of the capital, forty years later.

Crossbows and a hammer. I'm figuring a personal questline would be finding a way to regenerate his hand so he can serve his god better.

This is for the next game I run. Horror theme.

>But if on this day you choose to see aught but one thing, then see me, you contemptible leech! See the one who stood against your mightiest and prevailed, see the one your precious fetters may never touch.

Of course I forget the song.

Come at me bro

Honestly, most of the music in this thread is overly dramatic wank that are too oppressive in their tone to work as music intended set the mood.

Observe how the pros do it:
youtu.be/4NTuad1Bdao
Defeating your nemesis is like losing an old reliable friend. You need a light, slightly bittersweet tinge to your epic music.

A fight to the death to determine the fate of the world as well as those that extend beyond it against a being that is far beyond the comprehension of mortal and immortal alike. The one who was pulling the strings behind everything thus far and the one who haunted me in my dreams as far back as I can remember.

As I stood face to face with my tormentor and knowing my chances are next to 0, I found it wanting.

youtube.com/watch?v=CsW72KIOd8U

This will happen, and it will be glorious. All for my party:
>Ranger faces werewolf he tracked across planes, and who was a former squad mate in the military.
>Paladin faces four armed flesh golem that slaughtered his family, and/or the doctor that created it.
>Sorceror faces a ancient white dragon that found a way to remove his memories and trap him as a humanoid.

I need music for these encounters.

I honestly think it's one of the worst songs from that game. Which is not saying much, as the songs are amazing.

It was presented very well, and just how over the top the action was made it really memorable and memetic, but basically all the other boss themes are better.

Since all the groups I was a Player in fell apart, going to do the inevitable boss battles for the PCs in the Anima game I'm GMing.

>[EPIC DRAMATIC EMOTIONAL]
Why do teens on youtube insist on doing this shit?
Billing your video as "The Most Epic Music Ever" or "Emotional Mix, You Will Cry" does not make it sound any more appealing. In fact it makes it makes it sound edgy and tryhard. Just pust the title and artist of the track goddamn.

It's really fucking annoying, but it's a good track.

There is no music. The only sounds are those of their fight, as if everything outside their bitter enmity ceased to exist. These are NEMESES after all.

It would be something of a mellow battle, since they have long since made peace with their archrival and dueling them now would serve no purpose. But they would love the test of skill, and the irony of meaningless battle.

Zenigata and Lupin are perpetual enemies, and yeah, it's just another round. They do this like, every week. Zenigata at least, is very serious about it.

So maybe this is what Zenigata would experience every time he goes for Lupin, and fails? It's just like a Bugs Bunny routine to paraphrase Rick for Lupin.

Because they're young and stupid. Growing older and wiser to despise their former selves and the stupid shit they did is their fair retribution for such sins.
