[QUOTE="fafhrd, post: 2209704, member: 18517"] In my last campaign, the party sorceress had been possessed by a shadow demon. It was on an information gathering run for its boss and didn't intefere with the character at all, except to prohibit her from talking about its presence. It claimed that it would kill anyone who found out. It would occasionally chat with her in her head(think Harvey from Farscape, or even Dreamcatcher). It even augmented her casting ability to make the situation more trying. The party had recently taken over the town of Ossington from the Standing Stone module in WotC's adventure path. The party cleric had taken over the ministry of the local chapel which had altars to the 12 neutral gods. The sorceress was bent out of shape over what to do and went to the temple to pray. I took the player into another room and roleplayed out the encounter. She knelt down and said a prayer to the 12 gods. When she looked up there were 12 thrones, each occupied by a shadowy figure wearing the appropriate regalia of that faith. It responded in a cascade of voices "What troubles you my child?" It went on to mock her and ask why her faith was so weak. It was a ton of fun for me, a little traumatic for her. Unfortunately she's my girlfriend so I get it all back in spades.:uhoh: [/QUOTE]
