[QUOTE="Keaggan, post: 9842628, member: 7025002"] & I am really leaning towards the amulets around their necks to make it seem like a piece of jewelry the cult wears, BUUUUUUUUT I think you are both right, and at least ONE of them has to [I][B]HAVE[/B][/I] it embedded because that would be a very cool surprise! Like I might wait to reveal which eye a priest has until AFTER the PCs take the necklaces from him. A scary twist when the priest uses the eye! This got me thinking in a totally different way. Having the eyes also influences the priest's personal habits in subtle ways! I can see this being near a town and strange things happen. Like objects randomly move or get rearranged. Doors shut randomly or a rope grabs a person. People think the town might have ghosts or a curse, but it is the power of the Eye "leaking" into the town, and the priest doesn't have complete control over it yet. Maybe it gets worse at night because when he dreams the power of the eye goes wild like some part of the Beholder is lashing out. This is an interesting twist because the Priest isn't necessarily evil. The power of the eye might be too strong for him. But as long as he keeps meeting his "cult quota," then no one checks on him.
