So, I know how I'm dealing with his lard ass. Planned to find the Black Hole Generator... turns out that is harder than I thought, so decided for door number 2, The Artifact! I just hope that when I finally get inside, that Zeiram isn't waiting there for me... How are you going to handle him?


--> Really? You don't know who Zeiram is...? You better find out FOOL!

DAMN YOU AND YOUR SHARP BRAIN, MAXX!!

I WAS GOING TO SAY 'TRICK CORMAL INTO GOING INTO THE SAME STAR SYSTEM AS THE ARTIFACT' AS A JOKE, BUT NOOOOOOO!

YOU SEEM TO KNOW AS MUCH ABOUT THE THREE GALAXIES AS I DO!!

I play space campaigns generally, it's my favorite setting for rifts!

The same way I always do my campaigns (heck my FIRST ever campiagn had C'Thulhu trying to wake up).
EPICALLY!

The effects of the black hole projector are described in Thundercloud Galaxy. Sure it would do the trick, but the collateral damage would render whatever galaxy it was used in FUBAR.

Using the Artifact somehow seems a good idea.

The Artifact is an automated (and out of control?) Doomsday Weapon that patrols the Pentarken System.

It's 2D4 X 10,000 per-strike Main Cannon does a surprisingly good job of keeping its sector of space completely clear of intelligent life (presumably, as happens so very often with these things in stories, it probably did its job as 'spoilsport Final Weapon' a little too well, killing Friend and Foe alike).

It is by far the most durable known object in the Palladium Megaverse, having several billion MDC.........in its neutronium hull, which is only about an inch thick.

We sold his Star general whatever's true name to an eldergod who wanted to destroy him. It worked out fairly well. Cormal om-nom'd his babies and went to sleep. luck on our part.

The Adventurers plan worked perfectly, using a mixture of high technology, magic, cunning and plane old guts they had managed to lure Cormal to the Pentarken system with plans to let "The Artifact" Kill the demon planet. With bated breath the adventurers waited just outside of "The Artifacts" range, they watched with glee on their ships main veiwer as the Great Space cannon turned to face the Giant Demon Planet...but it didn't fire. The ships Com Officer got the groups attention as he picked up a signel from the planet, of the same type and frequency that came from Krotus Point days before the Demon planet emerged. The signal now recognized as the voice of Cormal, quickly translated it read... " That's where I left that thing!!"
The adventured watch in growing horror as Cormals tenticals gently grasp "The Artifact" and place it one of it's lesser mouths like a giant Binky as "The Artifact" releases swarms of its fighter drones to take up a protective orbit around the Demon Planet. The Com Officer transfured another translated signal to read in subtitle on the screen before breaking down in tears. The group feels numb as they watch on the screen as Cormal turns in their direction "The Artifact" gleaming like a jewel on the surface of the giant creature as the words flash across the bottom of the screen "Now where did those pesky Adventurers go?"

hahahaha

Win.

Just build a really big antimatter bomb. the average yeild on a PW crusie missle is only one megaton, however, considering the seemingly limitless amounts of antimatter avaible, it would be trivial to construct a number of bombs with literal megatons of anitmatter inside of them, to say nothing of the resultant explosion from their detonation.

Such a bomb would likely be a ship and of itself, piloted remotely.

I would persuade the entire minion war participants to leave the three galaxies by asking them nicely.

- before you dismiss it, has anyone even tried?

Yes.

Most of those folks are now partially-digested food circulating through Cormal's intestines right about now. Palladium Evil REALLY likes it when you beg for your lives -the fear "flavors" the potential meal that they see in front of them, quite nicely.

I was contemplating some sort of "deal with the devil" involving the Mechanoids... but that could end up being a little too close to Season 4 of Stargate: Atlantis.

None of the above, my regular character goes up against him alone. With a couple million P.P.E, M.D.C, and I.S.P, Cormal should last a good afternoon to defeat single-handedly, assuming my character doesn't tire of the fight and just blast him to atoms with one big energy blast.

There's a reason I don't play my regular character anymore, he got way too powerful over the course of a decade of role-playing.

I hear ya, I have a 7 year Godling character that could destroy him single-handedly as well.... Oh, the power of RIFTS!

You could always have it and a Dominator Star Fortress meet up. I'm sure the Dominators would be glad to blow the SOB into non-existence.

But what's to stop the Dominator, if it does win? It might just decide to keep on pushin'

Well we aren't trying to stop the dominator are we?
