[QUOTE="Hypersmurf, post: 3782621, member: 1656"] [FONT=Verdana][CENTER][img]http://www.snopes.com/graphics/header/snopes_02.gif[/img] [B][URL=http://www.snopes.com/snopes.asp]Home[/URL] --> [URL=http://www.snopes.com/crime/crime.asp]Crime[/URL] --> [URL=http://www.snopes.com/crime/intent/intent.asp]Criminal Intent[/URL] --> Successful Mission[/B] [SIZE=5][COLOR=YellowGreen]Mook Beats Party of PCs[/COLOR][/SIZE][/CENTER] [COLOR=YellowGreen][B]Claim:[/B][/COLOR] A lowly minion managed to eliminate a group of powerful adventurers, despite his superiors being killed.

Regret to report that all the boys were killed in the process. Yours, Cutthroat Bob.[/code] [COLOR=YellowGreen][B]Origin:[/B][/COLOR] This message was sent to the BBEG by one of his minions to report the successful completion of a mission to eliminate an entire high-level PC party. Scrying on the minion revealed a faint aura of enchantment, however; combined with the fact that the PCs showed up at the BBEG's stronghold not long after and slaughtered him and all his household guards suggests that the initial message was not, in fact accurate... probably coerced from the minion with the aid of a spell from the Charm subschool. We have little hesitation in suggesting that any BBEG demands independent corroboration of any far-fetched reports from NPC mooks. Barbara "works like a charm" Mikkelson[/FONT] [/QUOTE]
