[QUOTE="Jack7, post: 4737084, member: 54707"] [B]The Iceman Cometh[/B] The party is moving through an area, any area. They hear a sound up ahead like conversation. When they investigate they find a body lying upon the ground. It is apparently the source of the conversation. If they approach close the body seems to float a few feet off the ground, then turn upright, allowing the feet to hit the ground. Then the figure will flee suddenly while speaking about something only the party members should know about. As they chase the figure it will come to an intersection and then turn. When the face is seen the party-members will realize it is the face and figure of a dead former comrade or party member. He will point at his temple, then make a circle in the air and say in a his own recognizable, but hollow sounding voice, "I never meant this..." Then he will disappear. Sometime later the party stumbles upon an apparently frozen dead man. He is completely encased in a thin sheet of blue ice that makes him appear as if he is covered in a veneered sheen of crystal. He is slowly melting. He sits bolt upright with opened eyes and across his lap lies a large battle axe. He is melting. (That is the crystalline ice sheet covering him is slowly melting.) As he melts he grows in size. If the party stays around until he is fully melted then he will stand over 12 feet tall. After sitting for three minutes completely thawed he will exhale a breath that is visible like ice crystals. It will stink and at the same time will begin a buzzing sound like angry flying insects. At that point he will stand and attack the nearest party member. He will make three attacks and if he can kill the party member then he will return to his chair and shrink to normal size and refreeze. If he makes his three attacks and does not kill the party member then he will shatter. In either case the surviving party members will thereafter hear a sound like metal being shredded. On the wall behind where the frozen man sat will appear in ice the phrase, [I]"The Iceman Cometh..."[/I] Then the ice will form into a large jet-black raven who will fly over and land upon the shoulder of the leader of the party. His claws will feel chilled and metallic. He will drop something out of his beak. It will be a frozen tongue covered in weird glyphs. After that there will be several rounds in which no sound can be heard... This is a good thread idea by the way Warlock. I like several of the entries and especially, [I]"What the hell just happened?"[/I] [/QUOTE]
