[QUOTE="WayneLigon, post: 2208933, member: 3649"] The group is camped for the night when a voice comes from the road 'Haloo the camp! Travellers! We are knights of the count, and we would share your fire!'. The group looks over the knights, who look to have been in a fight at some point in the day, and bid them welcome. The trio comes over and shares the fire on this bitterly cold night, though they say they are fasting and so partake only of water and a little broth. The group chats with them for several minutes, with a couple of the more perceptive people just 'getting the willies'. [i]Something[/i] is wrong but they can't figure out what. A couple of crows flutter down to peck at the edge of the camp, as they do in this part of the world. The party has seen this many times in the past. Around about the same time, two things happen: the party leader realizes that the knights breath does not plume in the bitter night air, and one of the crows hops over to the youngest knight, who has removed his gauntlets and has his hands on the log the group is sitting on, and casually teases a chunk of flesh from the man's hand without him noticing. That, of course, makes the mage sit up and yell, and the knights - who have been ghouls for about a week now -- spring to the attack... The players later said they got pretty spooked when they realized the knights breath was not warm. :) Since they, they ask this about any humanoid encounter: Are they [i]breathing[/i]? [/QUOTE]
