Re: The Black Tower
In reply to Amelia Montaigne (msg # 522):
Gareth is not the most muscular individual himself, and is startled by the approach, not quite sure how to respond. Hesitantly, he accepts the hand with an evident element of disbelief.
"Uh, it is usually undead who make such offers to me. Even before I was captured, most of my friends remained long after they died horribly. Perhaps I can introduce you to some of them, though now I only hear them. I have not seen them since I was captured."
[Private to GM: Just to refresh from his character sheet, the source of his phantom voices (and perhaps his weirdness magnet) is his ancient past: Gareth was born in a small village. When he was young, the village was burned to the ground, with many of the family and friends he knew burnt alive. Seeing them disappear as they were consumed by the flames, he went mad, and now believes they still live on in the flames, having being 'redeemed' from the troubles of this world they now live in an eternal 'paradise' of fire.
Up to you, the GM, if you want them to actually be spirits he can hear, or jus a level of insanity...also up to you if they are spirits if others can hear them, or if they can manifest! Have fun with that!]
