L. Marcus Posted March 21, 2008 Report Share Posted March 21, 2008 Re: The Last Word Hmm. That could work. Faced with a lake he has to traverse' date=' he can either keep the armor on (he even sleeps with the stuff on! How tempting to rule that he loses 1 BODY per night he does that . . .) and sink, or take it off and be vulnerable to attack.[/quote']Just make him lose LTE. That should be good enough to make anyone take notice. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted March 24, 2008 Report Share Posted March 24, 2008 Re: The Last Word Getting them onto a raft (or boat or whatever) would be the hardest step. They're currently about 300 miles from any large body of water. Hmm. I could plunk down a river, I suppose. Vian geography is nothing if not flexible.

AliceTheOwl Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Re: The Last Word I'm pretty sure just about everyone in Via does. I'd have a hard time figuring out where she developed it, as she was a virgin when they met. (That's actually how they met; the party was looking to hire a virgin maiden as demon bait. He scared off the rest of the volunteers when he disclosed all of the risks.) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Re: The Last Word Not too many animal fetishes going on. Considering the number of shape-shifting creatures and spells that have the same effect, why bother? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Re: The Last Word Demons have a fascination with virgins. Most find them a near-irresistible target. It's the whole "opposites attract" thing. Dragons have a different sort of fascination with virginity. It's something precious and rare in Via, so therefore, being the first to seduce a virgin is something of value. They seek uniqueness in other ways, too, though; their treasure isn't entirely physical. This particular character was a virgin because she was just too dang busy taking care of her family (poverty-stricken, mother died, father sick) to go out and meet anyone. And she wasn't the type to just go home with any guy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AliceTheOwl Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Re: The Last Word If you're saying what I think you're saying, yeah, good girls also find demons intriguing, and would subscribe to their newsletter if they could survive the initial meeting. I have a "tame" demon as an NPC right now, and, while the party has no clue what to make of him, the unattached female NPC finds him . . . fascinating.

Cancer Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Re: The Last Word I need to bash together the next session for the game I run for my kids. No demons there. Kami, yes, but no demons.

AliceTheOwl Posted March 25, 2008 Report Share Posted March 25, 2008 Re: The Last Word The PCs have run into plenty of demons by now. They're still freaked out by them, a little (and rightly so). The last segment of the game involves unleashing demonkind onto the Vian Plane. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
