[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 67748, member: 386"] You don't want to describe things - like what the PCs see - but you want to tell them how they feel or what's going on in thier minds. I think, at least. Descriptions get boring and players tend to overlook the details. "You step into the room. The air is still and dead. There's a small cage hanging from the cieling, filled with spikes. There's a small trickle of blood, drip... drip... dripping down into a pool of the stuff. You can see a pale body, almost bone-white, in the cage. He is reaching out with one limp hand." While the PCs decide what to do, drip, drip, drip... If any of the PCs get close to the cage: "The hand suddenly twiches and the body spasms!" grab the PC. Take a drink of water. spit out "Help me" in his face, then fake a seisure. "He twitches for a while then stops." Of course, that would be hard to do, but it would probably freak somebody out. Here's a freaky image (adult warning): the lower half of a woman with a wooden upper half (life-like) and a smiling face. She's wearing a wedding gown that's hiked up above her waist. It's splattered with blood. [/QUOTE]
