[QUOTE="Agent Oracle, post: 2949911, member: 40076"] "The Man who wasn't there." I remember as a child hearing a silly bit of Shel Silverstein poetry... [i]Yesterday Upon the stair I saw a man who wasn't there He wasn't there again today I wish I wish he'd go away[/i] On this poem, I based The Man Who Wasn't There. BBEG, scared my party witless. He existed as a negative. You didn't see him, but could discern exactly where he wasn't. He spoke in terrible silences and players understood every word that he didn't say. He forced near-constant SAN checks, as he was a monologue maker, and merely being in the same room as him was a violation of causality. I think what really set the players minds on edge was how he looked exactly like their uncle... if their uncle wasn't a person, but an uncle-shaped hole in reality. We had a bard gibbering for three full days. It was a terrible sight. [/QUOTE]
