[QUOTE="ThaDium, post: 5945194, member: 10437"] Next time they collect firewood or hunt an animal for food, make it an Awakened creature that screams in common. I did something similar in a game I ran years ago. A snowstorm trapped the PCs in a keep full of recently deceased. As the party had arrived there from a visit to another plane, they had no provisions. Wouldn't you know, among the dead was a minotaur. They ate it. Storm passes and the PCs continue on to a nearby town. Only to meet a distraught female minotaur who promptly asks them to help her find her mate. The scene at the keep where she stood horrified over the half eaten body of her lover was excellent. In my last game one of the evil NPC parties was made up of three loving couples. Once they started to drop at the hands of the PCs, the emotional tenor of the fight got pretty intense. And now, two asides: 1. On the homophobic stuff that keep threatening to thread jack this, I won't be using that idea, so please drop it. 2. As for meeting in a tavern, I didn't decide on D&D turned up to 11 as my theme until after the game started. The party is together to bring a tribute to the main kingdom of their failing empire. They are living at the end of a golden age. [/QUOTE]
