Saturday 4/5: Submarines and Sea Monsters
Apr. 9th, 2008 11:28 amSaturday was
jordangreywolf's Pirates game. As usual when I'm a guest for one of Jordan's games, he gave me a variety of choices for characters to play. Out of the options available, I picked the semi-sociopathic mermaid the party had acquired several sessions back. Mermaids in the setting were vicious man-eating monsters, but after much risk and with the help of a fortuitous adventure card, the party had finally managed to somewhat tame her.
She was interesting because she was mute and could only communicate through songs that evoked vague images and feelings. She couldn't even respond to questions with nods or shakes for yes and no. She just sang.
Her singing was also "siren song", so whatever she sang was a spell that listeners had to make a saving throw against or they. So, basically, her only form of communication was mind control. Also, since she had only recently learned to stop regarding people as food, I'm not sure this would be a great character to play all the time but it was a blast for one session.
( Gaming! )
