And maybe with the cinder child showing up when players have been going through hirelings like butter. Don't know about the thin woman, just thinking of anorexic women gives me the willys.<br /><br />I hope they give your players a scare.Telecanterhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07238356788092725244noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-34596676164446053162012-03-19T12:49:36.567-07:002012-03-19T12:49:36.567-07:00Completely and utterly awesome.

They suggest backstory, but backstory is not necessary unless the characters really want to pursue an investigation. I can already see a place where the Thin Woman will fit in PERFECTLY into my current campaign. <br /><br />Not to mention that, done properly, these three will creep the living daylights out of most normal players/characters.Boric Glanduumhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11657943639334882754noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-83948145732899251282012-03-19T12:46:49.729-07:002012-03-19T12:46:49.729-07:00The Thin Woman and Pall are instant favourites.

Like Trey says, the stories suggest events that happens regardless of the players' actions.<br /><br />I'd have the Think Woman use the pearls to fill out a necklace she's carrying (empty at first). Find her, kill her and retrieve her necklace (or steal it from her).<br /><br />Or! Find her nest, as you wrote. There she's sitting on tiny white eggs (the pearls), brooding. If the eggs hatch, the player loses the hit points permanently.Jensanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16216604356936975761noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6446461178381374626.post-35273288415002890502012-03-19T10:43:24.939-07:002012-03-19T10:43:24.939-07:00Love these.

What I think makes these interesting is they suggest a story--not in the sense of a plot for characters to follow, but a story that has gone on before that the player's just happen to interesect. I think stuff like this adds depth to the world.Treyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04647628467658839351noreply@blogger.com
