Message: <blockquote data-quote="Torx" data-source="post: 3136036" data-attributes="member: 2730">This one falls into the 'not so recent' catagory.  Some time back I was introducing my players and their characters to Sigil for the first time, and I scraped and stole everything I could to really describe the alien and deadly nature of the city.  One of the things I stole was from 'Samurai Jack.'  In one episode Jack comes across this wizened, angry, old man who meandered with his hands shaking.  When Jack accidentally bumped into him he turned, pointed his fingers, a crackle of lightning emitted, and the poor sap was turned into a chicken.  Then the old man resumed his demeanor and continued on his way.Of course one of my players bumped into the old man and instantly began to cluck and peck his way through Sigil.  Later on, after the other players were able to restore him, another of the characters picked a fight with some vrock, not knowing how dangerous they were.  I scrambled to come up with a way out of the predicament, since the two demons were far too tough for the party.  In a moment of heightened dramatic tension, as one of the vrock was about to land a killing blow, the old man wandered through the fight.  He bumped into the demon and, yes, turned him into a vulture.  The character who was just saved promptly beheaded the beast.  The other vrock arrived on the scene to see his fellow demon dead and this prime holding the offending sword.  The vrock looked menacing for a moment and then screamed, "Thank you!  I hated that guy," and hugged the PC.I think it captured the capricious nature of Sigil pretty well.</blockquote>
