[HoE] Playing Stone (Was Heart 'o Darkness)

[Dusarat@aol.com]

i like the idea of playing Stone like Draco, Have him be a boogieman to the 
party until they realize that he's coming for one of them!

Then you have to give him a weakness and give the posse a chance to beat him 
(somehow) at the end of a long hard campaign. i was planning to have my party 
learn that he can be killed if shot in the back with the same bullet as 
killed him the first time. Then the Posse had a long cross country trek to 
Gettysburg to go find a bullet in the mud, which by one of those literative 
freaks of chance was going to be part of a necklace of some old lady or 
something.  Have Stone hunting them throughout.  Put the climax during the 
second battle of Gettysburg.  

Either that, or find a way to trap or take his powers, like lure him to that 
harrowed prison, hit him with a life elixer, curse him with an endless curse 
(to kill every rat in the city of Gloom).  The life elixer could be fun, 
could still use him as a villain, and though not super-powered, he's still a 
nasty man who the party MUST NOT KILL because then his harrowed powers come 
back. If they ever do get him in their cross hairs, have him hiss 

"If you kill me...... I will become more powerful than you could ever imagine"

and wait for their collective groans
