[QUOTE="The Sigil, post: 381497, member: 2013"] [b]Re: the black box[/b] 964.) Have the PCs find a great big wooden box floating in a convenient bay. When they open it up, they find a *thump-thump-thump* (sound of you slapping something heavy three times - don't ever actually give them more info than this). This item is cursed - they can never be rid of it - and nobody will want to speak to them after they obtain it. [i]While I was walking down the beach one bright and sunny day, I saw a great big wooden box a-floating in the bay. I pulled it in and opened it up and much to my surprise-- Oh, I discovered a *thump-thump-thump* right before my eyes! Oh, I discovered a *thump-thump-thump* right before my eyes.! I picked it up and ran to town as happy as a kind. I took it to a guy I knew who'd buy most anything. But his is what he holered at me as I walked in his shop. Oh, get out of here with that *thump-thump-thump* before I call a cop. Oh, get out of here with that *thump-thump-thump* before I call a cop. I turned around ang got right out, a-running for my life; And then I took it home with me to give it to my wife. But this is what she holldered at me as I walked in the door, Oh, get out of here with that *thump-thump-thump* and don't come back no more. Oh, get out of here with that *thump-thump-thump* and don't come back no more. I wandered all around the town until I chanced to meet A hobo who was looking for a handout on the street. He said he'd take most any old thing, he was a desperate man. But when I showed him the *thump-thump-thump* he turned around and ran. But when I showed him the *thump-thump-thump* he turned around and ran. I wandered on for many years a victim of my fate Until one day I came upon St. Peter at the gate. And when I tried to take it inside he told me where to go! Get out of here with that *thump-thump-thump* and take it down below. Get out of here with that *thump-thump-thump* and take it down below. The moral of this story is: if you're out on the beach And you should see a great big box, and it's within your reach, Don't ever stop and ope it up, that's my advice to you. 'Cause you'll never get rid of the *thump-thump-thump* no matter what you do. Oh, you'll never get rid of the *thump-thump-thump* no matter what you do.[/i] --The Sigil [/QUOTE]
