[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 8515666, member: 59816"] Hawthorne's joke reflected a mystery-comedy puppet show that was popular in Baldur's Gate, where the "ghost" was revealed in the end to have been the Grand Duke's gardener, much to the surprise and delight of the audience. It had been so popular, that it had spawned knock-offs, homages, and pastiches, all more ridiculous than the last. Shedrick, who had been shaken and frightened a moment before, burst out in laughter, then replied bravely, [B]"I'll be all right, sir!"[/B] Crock Jon held the creature fast. It tried to pinch at him, but he had its arms held awkwardly, and he stepped into the sunlight, where the thing couldn't bend shadows to escape. It twisted its head, trying to shade its strange eyes from the light while making piteous yet bone-chilling wails. [ooc]It does have a fear aura. Anyone starting their turn within 10 feet must make a dc11 wisdom save or be frightened. Crock Jon at least should roll that save. Argenti can probably shoot it again (it did try to attack, miserably) and [USER=15132]@Steve Gorak[/USER] Ethian and [USER=6803188]@VLAD the Destroyer[/USER] Kaliban have yet to act this round (They should both roll the save first). Anyone who feels that their character would have "gotten" Hawthorne's joke, can have advantage on the roll.[/ooc] [/QUOTE]
