[QUOTE="Gromnar, post: 6114271, member: 6687226"] Hello En Worlders, I'm wondering if someone can help me with coming up with a solid story based on an image I've found for my campaign. If any of my players are reading this, please stop now, as there's spoilers ahead! Anyway, onto the topic. I found this [URL="http://cghub.com/forum/attachment.php?attachmentid=69080&stc=1&d=1329065628"]image [/URL]image of a beautiful sea creature. The image linked does contain nudity, so click at your own risk. For those that don't wish to, the description of the image shows a pale/silvery skinned woman mostly emersed in water that has the back of her head and hair as an octopus, not hair. I think its a different rendition of Ursula the sea witch from the Little Mermaid. My campaign takes place in Dambrath of the Forgotten Realms, and the story I had thus far for the creature is she's a sea witch (sorcerer/sea witch) the prestige class from the S[I]tormwrack [/I]supplement. In Dambrath, the Bay of Dancing Dolphins contains a city of Tritons. The description is: I'm trying to come up with a story for this creature, which I'm looking at this point of being a unique triton. Obviously tritons do not have octopus' growing out of their head, so I'm looking at a general background for the creature. Right now, the sea witch is in a nearby pirate port and is known as the local witch (for obvious reasons). She has a small hut on an isolated rock in port where visitors can dare to visit her to trade for goods or information. The background ideas I've thus far are: 1. Half-Unseelie Fey/Half-Triton: Unseelie Fey are known for creating strange hybrids, and an aquatic fey mating with a triton could have done this. Perhaps the hair changed into the octo-head late in life and she's left her people after being ostrosized. 2. Fiendish Graft/Affliction: The triton insulted Umberlee, the Bitch Queen and paid the price for being transformed into the abomination she is. Either the octo-head is a symbiot and half controls her actions or its a superficial change, but regardless, she left her people due to being ostrosized. 3. Tauric Creature: Normally its impossible to add the tauric template to an outsider, but an experiment that went wrong could be the source I'm wondering which idea makes more sense and is easier to work with. I'd like a mechanical representation for the creature via official rules, but its not a requirement if such doesn't exist. The important part is the background and what exactly she is. Any help would be appreciated! [/QUOTE]
