[QUOTE="toucanbuzz, post: 8002986, member: 19270"] [B]SPOILER FOR SAVAGE TIDE[/B] Covid put our game on hold, but currently she's alive and out for revenge after the party wiped out her guild, took her books, and looted her treasury (returning most of it to the people from which she stole). They're on a months-long ship ride to the Isle of Dread, and she's covertly on the ship, trying to sabotage and kill them, which isn't easy when you're talking a tightly packed caravel, even with magic. The party knows someone is out to get them and assumes it's a passenger. Alas, her comic relief part is over, though I have no idea what will happen if they catch her (and it's likely only a matter of time). Now that we mention the guild, the biggest laugh was finding the guild's kobold cook, whose name was "Churtle." One of my players immediately began laughing when the cowardly kobold said its name. Apparently, and I didn't know it at the time, "churtle" is a slang word for vomit. I presume the author had a clever sense of humor to slip that in there. That's the kind of subtle comic relief I look for. [/QUOTE]
