For Glory

[Foxhound438]

The world is in trouble- someone needs to save it frommmm.... Well, something, but of course we all know that the heroes will return triumphant. The problem is, the mighty four that have gathered to fight the evils that plight the land all want to come away with the most recognition- A righteous paladin, a charming bard, a secret warlock, and a cunning rogue make plans to spread word of how "I alone" carried the day to victory with the others doing their best but falling short. What tales would you spin to impress all the land if you were one of these heroes, and more importantly, how would your tale depict your """allies""" being bested?

bonus points for the warlock casting burning hands on you. Or if you are the warlock, casting burning hands on one of the others.

Let someone else take all the credit then steal their identity afterwards?

Save the world, then kill them all immediately afterwards. Tell a tale of their heroic but tragic fall and how you stood alone against the darkness and triumphed where they failed. Bonus points if you actually sacrificed them to a great old one to get some far plane cred as well.

pretty good, but did you use burning hands to kill them all?

Burning hands was the spell used by the demon to slay the lot of the once-was adventurers (and totally not the spell that you used to burn them alive horribly, as sacrifice to the Great Old One). All who’ve read the tale know how the demon had loved the use of the Burning Hands - It was the only spell he cast, and it was the spell that led to his downfall by our mysterious vigilante Warlock, whose name shall be celebrated for centuries to come!

As the bard, I would pledge to spread the tale far and wide, using every effort to compose an epic worthy of the ages, in which my companions would be praised and their names immortalized as they deserved. (I might omit to mention that "as they deserved" equals "not at all"...).
