[QUOTE="Balgus, post: 450738, member: 8113"] kool story. but i was concerned about the spot check. what happens if no one makes it? no one sees it? yeah DC 25 isnot all that high- but there is a chance. Might as well just have them roll for the hell of it- and then the one with the highest roll gets to see it. if others gets abnormally hig rolls too- have more than one- but let one see it. If you say just straight DC25- then there is a chance no one will see it- and you lose some zing from the story. 1) magical stuff in the forest- sparks of magnificent light. I always categorized forsts as magical if they have floating glowing bodies just randomly doing their thing. in your case, you can have willow wisps- bright spheres of light that just does their thing in teh forest. 2) i would say the zoo is already out of place as is. If you really wanna go nuts- have a pond with sealions. 3) have a room that is locked so tight that it is almost tempting to go in. have the last orcs/gnolls plead with his dying breath not to open the door. It has 4 locks, high DC- and is made of solid iron. Behind the door is a monster that the gnolls locked away cause they could not control it. they found it in the woods and thought it might make a cool pet/ slave/ warrior. but it was too unpredictable and untame. Think Brotherhood of teh Wolf- but no one can tame this monster. It is large/ huge with four arms and agiant maw. It can rend and swallow whole. It can blast you with fireballs from it eyes and lightning bolts from its arse... :D - sorry i couldn't resist. [/QUOTE]
