The party discovers a temple that contains statues of themselves

I roll to seduce my own statue

>the party discovers they are in a temple, contained within statues of themselves

>haha, very funny Ted

>overdone to death
Party traveled to an alternate reality where tales of their exploits made them legends worthy of a museum

...

>Ascension tier
The party are traveling back in time, because they are so famous in the future. But boredom drives them to do it all again

>"See I told you guys that we were meant to rule the empire, this must be some kind of prophecy. Now can you all stop whining about my so-called genocidal behavior?"

That's a cool idea, I'm using it.

>the medusa snarls "You are already dead"

N-Nani!?

M-Masaka!

>"Yes, you got us, we're dead. Right now, you're talking to our revenant souls. Guess who can't be turned to stone anymore b!@#"

>The party travelled forward in time

Alternatively: The party will travel backwards in time at some point in the future.

In my Changeling the Lost game, years ago, the party discovered a book of 15th century German fairy tales that included woodblock prints of creatures and encounters that eerily matched the experiences each of them had during their durances with their Keepers.

The prints weren't specifically describing them, but instead were there to highlight that this sort of thing had been going on for a long, long time.

Alternatively: Players are trapped in a cyclical Time Loop.

I check my map. Clearly we've been going in circles.

>Statues are actually replacements for the party members should they die.

Mimics.

>that comic
Good taste.

Alternative: alternate versions of the players will have had traveled to th past at some point.

>during their exploration when not looking the poses and faces change to horror, cowering, or heated argument. Eventually as shit goes down they become defaced and change location.

>Juvenile changeling
>Juvenile mimics
So they would just mimic the party members?
D'awww that's so frikkin adorable.

I so want this to happen now.

Maybe i'll writefag something about it damn.

What comic?

Sounds like tuesday for Exalted.

>The party discovers cloning vats containing their original selves.

>Shyamalan tier
Party was wiped out by a medusa decades ago. PCs are unsuspecting ghosts, still trying to complete their unfinished business before being able to move on.

Except for one that is broken.

Is there any hand holding a tome at the end?

"Goodness gracious, I'm all kinds of sexy in that armor."

"That's the armor you're wearing now Brad."

"I know, that's why it looks so good."

That's pretty neat

>For fuck sake, Bart! How many times you are going to put us through that shitty level from TR4?!
Something like that, I guess

>Higher powers have been cloning spare heroes of destiny without the knowledge or consent of the party.

Reject shitty immortality as errand runners for patrons too chickenshit to give real help? Embrace magical Eclipse Phase and occasionally find tools and clues left by previous iterations of yourself?

Happened in a campaign of mine.

>Run a year long campaign
>PCs rise from brave villagers to heroes who saved the world
>Years later players ask to do a one off in the same world
>This game is set 500 years after the campaign
>They find statues of the entire original party in the centre of the city, celebrating them as heroes

Bonus:
>One PC specialised in disguise
>His statue looked nothing like his character
>Player couldn't be happier

>the party discovers a temple that contains statues of themselves naked, one revealing a PC to be a trap, and the other a reverse trap

or
>the party discovers a temple that contains statues of themselves in coitus with the female, all of them taking their turns ejaculating inside of the female cleric to produce the chosen one using the clerics womb as a makeshift alchemy lab using choice spells they gained earlier

The statues don't look like the party, but the party looks like the statues.

That's happened in a game I played in actually. We entered an old temple, and the entire place was full of statues and murals of our party's exploits and some we hadn't done.

Turned out to be a big scheme by a demon to try and get us to make a deal. 'This'll be you if you want' kind of thing.

>“Goodness gracious, I’m all kinds of sexy in that armor.”

>“But you’re naked!”

>“I know, that’s why it looks so good.”

Someone remind me to kill the girl’s naked bard fantasy

>The keepers of the temple have cosmic insight, and see the party as the pawns of the dark deity they will one day serve.

>The temple was actually sent back in time
>The statues are said to depict a pack of demons who brought ruin upon the world

Read it in this order, it’s beautiful.

But petrified people are still alive.

that's fucked up nigel

For a while.

>the statues are actually intricate mirrors made by the ancient norse mesohoteps to fuck with people who entered their tombs

>>One PC specialised in disguise
>>His statue looked nothing like his character
>>Player couldn't be happier

you did good

Or you could just not explain it at all and have it be a weird mystery thing.

This. The implications are far more disturbing when players have to guess what it's supposed to mean.

Well it's about fucking time I get some recognition. Aw man, I hope this isn't one of the bad cults though.

>one revealing a PC to be a trap, and the other a reverse trap
Oh I've been in that party before

El Goonish Shive. One of those weeb escapist webcomics that actually improved over the years.

>actually improved
A rare gem indeed

>Some of the pedestals are empty.

Are the statues lewd?

Well, that depends on whether the party's lewd or not, doesn't it?

This would be a great idea for a horror story, statues starts by reflecting current events, people starts getting attacked while exploring, the statues will show the scene but with one PC having an evil look and drawing his weapon, the place is actually cursed and leads to people inside it to turn against each other.

>the statue inscription says "if you're reading this, remember to use protection on the fifth night"

As in "lewd guys see themselves pure" and sob in regret?

Steal them. Put them in from of our base, despite the silly poses.

Same actually

> The party meets a reverse gander and alignment party of themselves. Also, if it has tieflings, they become aasimar in reverse, elves - drow, and vice versa.
> The party encounters a mysterious portal. It leads to the weird dimension where the enemy has fled. There they have to save a group of humans the enemy has captured who match the perty in number and seem to know everything about them.

>Bonus
Well done user. Those are the little details I need to consider.

Dammit, my Twilight was just starting to feel good about his past self.

>>the party discovers a temple that contains statues of themselves

>Are they level 1 or 20?

this is the right question

TrapXReverse trap is top fucking tier
