[QUOTE="Graf, post: 4194873, member: 3087"] I really like the shapechanger idea, but partially because I have an idea for how I want to catch it. 1. I'm not playing Tira as some sort of demon-worshiping soul-eating psychotic, I know that's the norm but I think it's boring/weird. I'm thinking troubled mage-type. I think Tira will try to work together with the border guard to spread a rumor (streetwise?) that she knows a ritual that will reveal the creature's current form to her before dusk (bluff). She'll wander around the town acting weird and "collecting important items" and dirt from "key locations". If she's convincing she's hoping to smoke the creature out (once dusk falls she figures the creature will be able to sneak away, hide with impunity). I haven't looked at the skill rules yet, I'm just thinking about what your average creative-player would try to do. Key things: Working with the border guard (both to help spread rumors and to ensure that people believe she's a "powerful mystic the king sent") using streetwise to stir up rumors using bluff to convince people (and hopefully the creature) that she's the real deal. If Erias' player likes he can pretend to think that "calling upon such powerful dark forces is inappropriate" and try to convince the good towns people to tell him of strange behavior so that it's not necessary to "resort to such dark magics". Just riffing. [/QUOTE]
