[QUOTE="Sanglorian, post: 5866938, member: 83822"] I was having some trouble picturing the placement of everything on the hex map, so I've mapped it. This is a one-time thing; I'm not planning to update it: No images: [URL="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/685/shroudedlandsnohexes.jpg/"]ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting[/URL] Images: [URL="http://imageshack.us/photo/my-images/17/shroudedlandshexes.jpg/"]ImageShack® - Online Photo and Video Hosting[/URL] Doing so led me to notice some things: The Market Pits aren't mapped. There are two ghost entries: 29.32 and 30.33 The Welt Road doesn't connect the Shuttered City to the Lands of the Night Cattle - but isn't the City their main customer? Fernsbank is sometimes referred to as Fernbank. And another entry for the City of Shuttered Windows (29.14): [B]The Smiling Men of Shuttered[/B] The Smiling Men are a band of assassins who are the deathly enemies of the Temple Invisible (29.14, also 25.15). They recruit their members from those who have killed out of depression, trauma or self-loathing - even those who have killed themselves. The smiling men take their recruits into an intensive training program that uses physical punishment and rudimentary electroshock therapy to rid the recruit of all emotions other than happiness. Try as they might, the Smiling Men cannot wipe that silly grin off of their faces. In addition to this training, the Smiling Men are taught how to take the forms of those that they have been formally introduced to. Even in the form of another, however, these dopplegangers still smile broadly. The Smiling Men highly value the poisons of the Cloud Forest (47.00). [I]Hooks[/I] How do the Smiling Men deliver electric shocks? A generator would be much too science fantasy, wouldn’t it? What happens if a Smiling Man tries to take the form of one of the Barnabi? What happens if a Smiling Man mates with the Heget in the form of another? Why do the Temple Invisible feud with the Smiling Men? How do you find a Smiling Man or contract with him? Are there any Smiling Women? How can the Smiling Men recruit those who've killed themselves? Sure, I'll leave it for now. Fair enough; of course an intelligent and rigid mage could still be plump or even gluttonous, but you have to go with how you see him. EDIT: Also, each time I post I'll include the parts of the monster index that need to be updated, so you can do that easily on the Google Doc: Dopplegangers 29.14 Smiling Men, see Dopplegangers [/QUOTE]
