Oh what??? Love it, what a wonderful concept. With your permission I
will borrow this, I have an idea that is really going to frag with my
players minds (One of them is already under suspicion of suffering from
some sort of mind manipulation, and this will really throw a spanner
into the works. I feel all cozy inside, a new toy to "screw the
players" with.
Now, how to work it in so that it's totally innocent, while appearing to
be extremely menacing..... Ah, yes, that'll do it.....
