Sagiro's Story Hour Returns (new thread started on 5/18/08)

Sagiro, I didn't realize until today that not all the Slices have been stuck there the same amount of time. One guy's only been there for a few weeks, but some folks have been stuck for decades. Is that true? Does the group know why?

At this point in the story, no, the Company doesn't know why. They find out a few runs later, but that would be a spoiler.

"She’s so beautiful. And she likes milk"

Hilarious! Go Ernie!!!

Ten bucks says she's evil.

So, Yoba. New party member, or Black Circle spy (carefully disguised for maximum appeal to the most trusting party member)? Now taking guesses.

No, no - her being evil would not be RBDM enough. She'll be completely, purely good. And the PCs will end up having to fight her anyway

She's lactose intolerant, but was too polite to decline milk. *dramatic music*

 

[Cerebral Paladin]

My theory is that she's one of Tapheon's succubi. She's just a little too perfect and follows on the heels of one of Tapheon's servants teasing Ernie about his lack of romantic experience. It seems like the perfect way to both insinuate a spy/agent, and to be extraordinarily cruel to a kind and good halfling--exactly what Tapheon would want to do. The only real sticking points I see are timing (how long has Yoba been in this Slice relative to when Tapheon's minions picked up the Company?) and the aura of good, although it seems like that could be explained by some form of empathic projection making everyone think that you feel good (probably with an undetectable alignment effect up as additional cover).

Man, you people are suspicious. What's so strange about a beautiful halfling maiden falling for Ernie? He's quite a catch, you know. Rich, single, a good cook, ennobled, powerful. Of course, you do get regular visits from Dranko with the package, but the course of true love n'ere did run true.

The milk has obviously gone to your head.

Yoba= Evil

Whatever Yoba wants, Yoba gets,
And little man, little Yoba wants you
Make up your mind to have, no regrets
Recline yourself, resign yourself, you're through.

I always hit, what I aim for,
And your heart and soul, is what I came for.
Whatever Yoba wants, Yoba gets
Take off your plate, don't you know you can't win...
