[QUOTE="Rhenny, post: 7234976, member: 18333"] I like it, Sacrosanct. Kenku are awesome. I was running my Princes of the Apocalypse campaign, and the party had to go back into the Temple of the Howling Hatred through the entry corridor that had the Kenku behind walls with arrow slots. The first time they went through, they saw that there were things behind the walls, but the Kenku were only moaning and screaming like some of the tortured initiates inside the actual temple. The group ignored them and got out of the area quickly. The second time they encountered the Kenku behind the walls, the Kenku mimicked the voices of both Queen Aerisi and Windharrow as they shot at the party. The Queen voices kept saying "Kill them. Don't let anyone inside the temple," while the Windharrow voices were saying, "Don't underestimate them this time." Then, when the bard tried to open the door on the other end of the hall, but couldn't because it was locked, he shouted to the rest of the party, "The door is locked. We're going to die." Some of the Kenku mimicked that and gave it back to them using the bard's voice, "The door is locked. We're going to die." It made for a really creepy encounter. The party had no problem killing the Kenku eventually, but they were really shaken by the experience (and a few of them took arrow wounds too). [/QUOTE]
