[QUOTE="Shemeska, post: 7831956, member: 11697"] It's an apt comparison. I tend to use them as particularly malicious forces of nature. A thunderstorm slowly rolling over a mountain and darkening a forest, the wind carrying a faint static charge raising the hair on the back of your neck as it draws near and the breeze rattles the nearest trees... if a thunderstorm could sneer, point at a single farmer and go, 'You know what? F*ck that one guy in particular.' and in the process of incinerating him with a bolt of lightning, cause an inheritence squabble by his children that leads to a family blood feud, that a few generations later causes a war in which hundreds of thousands die, and the storm smiles and swirls. In my campaigns any interaction with the baern is going to be less a case of talking to an NPC than it is to simply be caught up in their current or their gravity well and being dragged along for the ride: some will drown. Some of the baern are more like this than others. In this storyhour you'll meet virtually all of them at some point or another. [/QUOTE]
