Guest Major Tom Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Originally posted by Rechan The necromancer is actually a socialite in the Trendy Paris district. Young women are being stolen and magically "skinned". Their skin is then used to keep supermodels healthy and fresh and young far past their due date. These skins could also be given to government officials, which allows the Necromancer to control the government by commanding power over the skin. These young women may be actual werewolves. Either normal women who are related to the pack (The human mates of the male werewolves) that work in the Real world for money to support the pack, or they could be female werewolves who havn't "awakened" yet, or descendants of a powerful werewolf, all of whom were in an orphanage together, which would be the tieing bind clue. The skin likely has regeneratory processes. The werewolves are either aware of the disappearances but Superemely worried, or have no idea. The Necromancer could be working with the pack (Their Pack Sorceror), their contact to the underworld or otherwise (You want something that we can't get? Go to the sorceror), or secretly be a werewolf or just posing as a powerful werewolf. Add in the fight between the Werewolves and some other rival thing. Possibly an ancient set of hunters that the Sorceror aids, a demonic force the Necromancer unleashed, etc. The PCs could help the werewolves tackle this. The necromancer is claiming the dead werewolves to make a suit of werewolf skin for himself. The skin, ocne put on, gives him the power of the Werewolf. Well, that's certainly evil and twisted enough for most GMs to use... but you could always throw in an additional twist by hav- ing an Amerind monster-hunter come to Paris (or Marseilles) in search of the werewolves and their necromancer lord for his own reasons. After all, who's better equipped to confront and deal with a "skinwalker" outbreak? Major Tom Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
wcw43921 Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 The necromancer, through science and sorcery, has created a hybrid of demon-werewolf that will serve as his all-new all-powerful army of evil. The final stage of his plan is to impregnate the kidnapped women with his demon-werewolf genetic material, then perform a ritual that will accelerate the gestation and bring his new warrior-beasts to adulthood in a single night. Hope that works for you. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
lobsterGun Posted March 13, 2004 Report Share Posted March 13, 2004 Originally posted by Trebuchet OK, that's not bad, but needs expansion. Why would the necromancer have suddenly changed his pattern and gone to kidnapping girls The Immortal Necromancer is a woman. She has worn out her current boidy and needs a replacement. So far the candidates she has kidnapped have not been suitable. Once she finds one that meets the relavent mystical criteria (e.g.one that can 'tame the savage heart' and pass 'the test of the sacred blade'... or something like that) she will transfer her soul into its new vessel and continues her craven existance of keg stands and bar crawling.

Sociotard Posted March 14, 2004 Report Share Posted March 14, 2004 Taking a line from "treason", by orson scott card. The young women were never really captured, per se. You see, the Immortal Necromancess uses her magic to cloud the minds of the wealthy and influential of paris. She spends a few weeks with each familly, filling their minds with memories of her as their daughter and manufacturing evidence of her existence. On the night she leaves, she makes it look like a kidnapping, and leaves false clues that point to the sewers. She has, you see, a long standing debt with a werewolf pack that was anciently bound to the sewers. As influential and powerful as these families are, they will send concourses of rescue attempts into the sewers and the hungry jaws of werewolves. Oh, and jacques dnpc was just trying to find her neighbor. She'd known her for years. hadn't she? The necromanceress has of course caught her before the werewolves did, and has some nasty experimentation to perform. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
