[QUOTE="Goobermunch, post: 2208782, member: 10516"] I've had one really creepy moment in my game so far. Early in the game, the PCs "rescued" a 6 year-old girl from a group of hobgoblins. She hadn't been harmed, and the managed to negotiate a peaceful resolution. Then they returned her to her father, a very busy, well-respected member of the Mortician's Guild. They were a little concerned about her well-being, since her father tended to work extremely long hours, and her mother had passed away about four years earlier. To assuage their concerns, they hired a member of one of the local churches to provide some tutoring and supervision to the girl. A few sessions later, they discovered that the girl's home had burned down (while they were away). There were no bodies in the ruins of the house though, but no one had seen her or her father since the fire. Eventually, they found out that the father was also a necromancer of some skill. When they found his new lair, they found Phoebe locked in a closet. Her father had killed her, raised her body as a zombie, and bound her spirit into the zombie's body. Phoebe had control of the zombie's voice, but that was it. Phoebe's dad loved her, but he just couldn't handle his precocious daughter. So he turned to truly Evil daycare. It was great fun to watch the players' faces as they fought with the little zombie. All the while, Phoebe begged them to kill her (and accused the paladin of welching on his promise to protect her). Eventually, they killed the zombie, and the girl's spirit ended up bound to one of the PCs. But that wasn't the creepy part. The creepy part came about four sessions later, when they were talking with the Canon of their church. They discovered that one of the nearby nations was having a succession crisis because the queen was ill and her daughter had run of with some disreputable mortician about seven years previous. The realization that they'd a) killed the heir to the throne of the largest military power in the region, and b) bound her spirit to the party's rogue, sent them into hiding for a few weeks until they could figure out how to resolve the issue. They still haven't decided what to do. --G [/QUOTE]
