[QUOTE="MonsterEnvy, post: 6783040, member: 6706188"] Anyway now that we have gotten started. I going to bring in the NPC I created. And the scenario I made around him. Ruuna (Arcanaloth.) [ATTACH=CONFIG]72536._xfImport[/ATTACH] Ruuna is a standard Arcanaloth appearance wise. but most of the time takes the form of a middle aged human male with grey hair. He lives in a cave that has had a house built into the entrance along with a sign in front of it lit up by a permanent light spell that says all visitors welcome. (The sign is magic and appears to be written in the language that the reader understands best.) His home resembles a nobles house in decor with along with a great deal of bookshelves filled with books, scrolls and alchemy components, Along with a grand piano and fireplace. Ruuna himself is polite, curious and patient. Taking great pains to avoid angering his guests or being angered by his guest (Even when he is he hides it well). But under this mask Ruuna is as cruel as any fiend and greedier then most. Ruuna is quick to introduce himself and ask questions about guests. If asked about himself he explains that he was a nobleman with an interest in magic that decided to life secluded on his own. After feeling out his guests he offers his home as an inn for them. Asking for 1 gold per person, his Yugoloth nature preventing him from offering any service for free. Though he is willing to accept alternative forms of payment. If his guests accept. He shows them to his guest rooms then waits for them to go to sleep. Once Ruuna is certain his guests are asleep his true nature comes forth. Firstly he uses Detect Thoughts on the most notable guest he had to find out their secrets and if they have any notable enemies or people that would pay handsomely for their return.. If he finds any that would pay well, he activates a teleport trap under each of his guest beds. Teleporting them into a Dungeon he maintains under his home deeper in the cave. The teleport trap only teleports living creatures so that Ruuna can look through and keep their stuff while at the same time stripping the prisoners of anything that could help them escape their cells or the rest of the dungeon.

His victims stripped naked by the trap and brought to the top of a snowy mountain without warning from their sleep will freeze to death in a matter of time while Ruuna scrys on the mountain top to watch his victims death throes. Thoughts on Ruuna and his scenario and ways to improve it? [/QUOTE]
