This is an email thread from 2006, where Alex played out a fake scenario over email, just for fun.
Hathron's body slumped to the ground with Ziedonplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigZiedon
Ziedon stands a little under six feet tall and is relatively thin. He has a neatly trimmed black beard and mustache which stand out considerably against his pale skin. His hazel eyes seem to see everything around him. Ziedon's white hair is cut short in the traditional townsman's style. Ziedon's garb is of a well-to-do townsman. He normally wears a thin, off-white shirt with eleven pairs of wooden knobs and strings in the front with a brown and green band of cloth was laid across his sh…'s dagger still stuck in his back but it was already too late. Hathron had completed the summoning. The stench of sulfur permeated the room as a dark presence filled the pentagram.

Um, I didn't mean to send this to the group, my mail program mixed up the email address.
Please disregard the previous message..
Now that's just not fair! Did he even get an attac kroll? Am I really dead, or just knocked out? PvP sucks.
I warned you when you started that Hathron would be a temporary character. Don't worry. The Mysterious New Character (TM) is just around the corner.

Alex, you are soooo screwed. Start chanting hosanas or something..
Now that is a buddy..
Now that is starting to scare me. ;)
The demon stands up on its hind legs, more than nine feet tall, and says in a booming voice “you killed Hathron, and now I'm going to kill you, and then show the world my wrath!” The demon then swings its powerful claws at Ziedonplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigZiedon

Don't worry. You'll be back in the game soon, but you _won't_ be playing a demon. And when did I say anything about hind legs, claws and booming voices? :)

The shadowy form darted forward, closer and closer to the necromancer. It glanced down briefly at Hathron's remains, still swarming with carnivorous roaches, now placid, from Ziedonplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigZiedon

Hathron seemed to wilt just a little bit more at the creature's passing. Torn books, shattered bottles, things unidentified littered the floor, the signs of the great battle that was finally coming to a close. The spell filled the air, pulling energy from the necromancer's body and beyond, seeming to weaken the very structure of the building, and then, with an accelerated motion, all energy focused on a single point, where the creature's heart, if it had one, rested. The demon stopped suddenly, fighting a power even it had never before encountered. The world slowed, Ziedonplugin-autotooltip__default plugin-autotooltip_bigZiedon

It was supposed to be his to command. It could have granted him immortality, or power beyond anything dreamed by mortals, if only Hathron's sleeve had not spoiled the perfection of the summoning.

The deeds of the demon were now his deeds, the destruction it wrought as it moved freely through the nights was his destruction, and each act was more painful than a rending of limbs or a flaying of skin. This was the fate of the great necromancer who thought he could control demons.

I didn't figure it out. I thought it was that James fellah who summoned the demon and Zeidon who killed him via some underhand method. The only thing that was strange was that you were allowing us to see it all. I guess I'm just not paranoid enough to suspect the DM of factual fabrication.
