Re: A great way to make your players go, "Oh No"...
Hi Herophiles,
in an old adventure by Ulrich Kiesow I mastered lately for my group they encountered a tribe of lizardmen. Conversation was difficult because only the chieftain was able to speak two word sentences in a common language. It was a very funny evening when the magician of the group gets further and further embarresed because he self started to speak in that kind of sentences. "We travellers, we north going..." and so on. The lizardmen chieftain was in search of a groom for his daughther, but being not customized to humans he decided for the female warrior of the group. It was a hard task to explain that to the chieftain. The chieftain warned the group that there would be "Flap, Flap North" only being able to express himself by soundwords. Later on the heros discoverd that "Flap, Flap" was the sound of dragon wings. So they had to find another way .
Greetings
