Gorin was an advanced ghoul cleric, formerly asigned to work for necromancer. Murdered and used for expirements, he was warded into the dungeon where the party was hiding out. After some tense negotiation, they began to deal with him. They'd remove the wards, if he'd show them the way out. The thing about Gorin was his mannerisms. I used the way my former roomate's Parrot would tilt its head from side to side and look at things with it's neck at an odd angle. Only then, I expanded it. Gorin was circling, stretching out and moving at strange angles to everything. And his face would flex and twist, pulling tight and then relaxing as he spoke, driving his tone from a deep grainy growl to a hiss. Speech-pattern wise, he was an imitation of Gollum from the LoTR movies with the comedy and whining taken out. He disturbs two of my PC's to this day.The other that earned points was a 2E evil fighter/rogue  named Norris. Norris was the NPC in charge of an evil mining camp, where they were using captured workers to mine demon dust. The party was captured, separated, and put into pits with boarded over tops. After a day or so he came swaggering by, light pouring in behind his arrogant smile and asked each person if they had any information for him. The party refused to answer. He came back the next day bearing a plate of delicious food. And he asked again, if they remembered anything. The answer was no, and he said "Too bad. I would have liked to have given you some food." The next day, he dropped just a touch of roast into the pit of the most talkative PC, just enough to let the taste come through the dirt, and let the hunger make his offer even more tempting.They planned so much revenge on him.The other one I can think of was Thompson. Thompson is the name that's given to any underskilled captured foe. He's a re-occurring character in my games. Every time, he's in over his head and always seems to come to a bad end for example, once his arm was ripped off by demons and he was left for dead while he slowly bled to death. Another game he was turned into a regenerating half-ghoul with two voices in his head before being starved, cut into pieces, while still alive, and then burned and his ashes dipped in holy water. The phrase "poor, poor Thompson" is a table saying now.</blockquote>
