[QUOTE="Dire Bare, post: 9829718, member: 18182"] Hmmm . . . . In my (future) campaign, there is only one known, remote village of tortles. Where the tortles come from is a mystery, but local legend within the village claims that tortles were once humans who hunted a rare turtle species into near extinction, and were then cursed by local spirits and transformed into tortles. However, there was a band of hunters who were away from the village when the transformation took place and so retained their humanity. When they returned to find their friends and families transformed into turtle-people, they were angered and horrified, and left to found a new village. This new village developed a strong antipathy towards turtles, turtle spirits, and turtle-people and regularly make war on the tortle village. In response, the peaceful tortles developed a form of martial arts to defend themselves using only their hands, feet, and shells. Is the legend true, or is there another story behind the lonely, peaceful, and beleaguered village of tortles? When humans from the turtle-hating village venture out in the world, they are often ridiculed for their hatred of turtles by those WHO JUST DON'T UNDERSTAND! Now, Pietro, a human ranger (with turtles as favored enemy, from the turtle-hating village) finds himself in an adventuring party with Niccolo, a tortle monk. To accomplish their mission to save the world, turtles, humans, and everyone, they must learn to put aside their old hatreds and work together. Can they? Or will the old hatreds doom the world? You can spin anything, no matter how silly or ridiculous, into a good story. All you need is an open mind! [/QUOTE]
