[QUOTE="UD, post: 46381, member: 316"] Right well it is a group of 7 PCs at level 4-5. I have been given other ideas such as maybe a ghost, possesing people. Hmmm.... But I really do like the Fluffy idea. I think that would really freak my group out. The backstory: The ship is a science vessel which has been analysing a large structure in the astral plane (it is in fact the body of a 'dead' god. A god of the shadows, a evil god. This shadow creture was one of its last followers who has been set to gaurd the gods dead body. This I hope will be an intresting discovery for the PC's because in the Dragonstar universe they believe there is just one god with 12 asspects... Our group meets in our Universitys Student Union building, so for atmosphere candles arnt an option. As its such a big group it can be quite difficult to control at time, for this session I will be implementing a 'what you say is what you *say*' rule. Enforcing compulsary saves and spot checks, attempting to put meaning into sentences when really they mean nothing. eg "Your not sure but there could have been something at the bottom of the passage when you looked...". Passing notes after spot checks saying things like "The wizard is behaving strangly..." Any more ideas? [/QUOTE]
