[QUOTE="Sialia, post: 1325298, member: 1025"] [i]Sialia - The Rose[/i] it does? pity. must have missed that regulation. was that up there with the "no pdfs" rule? I get dim about these things. actually, that amused the heck out of me. Originally, you didn't get to find out that he was an illithid until the party had a chance to "chat" with Syyalea and find out what the heck illithids are. But I to condense [i]somewhere.[/i] Actually, that was pretty much exactly what I had pictured. fssssst! one flat illithid. it still amuses me. There was a good paragraph going over this, but it got axed during the final edits when I trimmed about four pages of "extraneous stuff" out. (Probably including thier first close look at the faces of thier captors, which might have been more of a giveaway--but I decided to let a lot of set and costume description go to keep things brief. Briefer.) Thank you. After the fun I had writing various folks in to the first one, I thought it would be fun to write the rest of us into it, you sick voyeurs, you. was expendable. Also, his player moved to Seattle this week. Kidding. They were preoccupied. They probably knew that she was giving him something poisonous--Tarnby certainly believed that it was--and they were kind of looking forward to what effect that would have. Lillabo didn't know exactly what the nature of the poison was, only that it was "bad stuff." Mirabelle and the Prof probably knew, but nobody asked them. So hey, maybe not well enough explained, but not really a problem, per se. Distributed ignorance is probably the best way to deal with mind readers, in my experience. Many thanks to all of you for a fine round. And especiallly for letting me finally get away with the "yodelling cowboy mindcontrollers" and the "moonshining Appalachian halflings" and the "travelling medicine show and minstrels" stuff I've had tucked away for a couple of years. I never could find a GM willing to run those modules for me --Bandeeto, P'cat and KidCthulhu all held their noses when I first came up with those. Sigh. They waited soooo long to see the light of day. [/QUOTE]
