[QUOTE="Visigani, post: 5626718, member: 6676235"] Don't make it a Vampire... Vampires suck. ... Make it something interesting... instead of the king being dominated... a cancerous hateful thing has grown into a massive spinelength tumor along the length of his back, which is the cause of the King's infirmity and why he's covered in his royal cloak and garments during even the most blazing summer's day. Even after you murder the king (and you'll HAVE to murder the king upon discovery)... you have to fight through a variety of "stages" to finally kill the thing controlling him. First you kill the living king, then he becomes something of an animated corpse and then finally a skeleton as the creature ingests the kings organic tissue in order to survive. Before you finally "kill" it it leaps off the kings back and attempts to latch onto and grapple a cloth wearer... give it some ridiculously high modifier to pin the magic user. If the magic user fails the grapple the creature attempts to burrow into his back and his friends must try to hack it off... but the creature uses their friend as "cover". You'll want to be descriptive... like "The clearly dead king points a bony finger at (the one who laid the death blow) and as he does the skin tightens and then snaps back revealing the blackened mottled tissue beneath, the skin of the hand pealing up the arm and beneath the king's cloak, from whence the cracking of bone and the tearing of flesh can be heard. Employ telekinetic thrust here to hurl the death dealer across the room. The creature itself appears to be a red strained multichambered organ filled with white effluence, each hacking gash causing a thick eruption of the chunky gloppy pus. Have a large glob of pus land in the face of one of your most charismatic players. [/QUOTE]
