Or, alternatively, they make friends with your regular Slice and Life Warlock Stormwind RPers (bonus points if they are romantically involved) who will then willingly summon and restore them.
It makes me sometimes a bit miffed that we don’t have more advanced RPG mechanics in place. My warlock would use the above premise to sell his services for gold, only to then permanently banish any Eredar that sign a contract with him instead of helping them back to Azeroth.
Of course this will happen. I don’t agree with the usual glib dismissal of “slice of life” stuff but when used in this context we’re just dealing with horrible, horrible roleplayers best avoided.
This is quite true. Back in my day, a tiefling just looked kinda like an elf https://static.wikia.nocookie.net/baldursgategame/images/4/4f/Haer%27Dalis_NHAER_Portrait_BG2.png/revision/latest?cb=20180925155705
4e made them all kinda reddy-demon-dudes and then 5e let them spread their skin colours a bit more. https://img.4plebs.org/boards/tg/image/1407/29/1407291205956.jpg
It’s been stated they still come back, but Argus was the accelerator to them.
But regardless, I’m talking about certain villain types who don’t seem to realise when they should stop coming back after “blasting off again”.
I’m just picturing a gigantic waiting room in the Nether, rows upon rows of benches stretching to the green horizon. Defeated once more by plucky adventurers, Eredar Felmistress Valthrexx sits down with the sulkiest of sighs and the queue number 14,739,395. Most in line are chattering imps.
Why indeed. You’d think the Legion would just pick on the weakest worlds across the multi-timelines but nope, they went straight for that one that will inevitably kill them.
Alternate void elf skin next expansion when we go to the Void to fight with/against Xal’atath in an expectation subverting betrayal. And Player’s heart is broken again.
