Hey All, I was making some Zany Assassin's to populate a Dungeon set in Eberron and was thinking What's going to increase the Zany Factor? OOTS !
Looking for Zany Assassin Idea's, I like rule bending but keep in mind for a group of 10th level characters ( So Cr 6 ->15)
I know among the first Assassin's will be the gelatinous cube Assassin ( COmplete with Bandeta). So here's what i want ( Lot's of weird things that qualify for one level of assassin. (THis is surposed to be the world's worst assassin guild ever), Rule Bending is Okay but in the range of 6-15 Cr (Ie no Tarrasque Assassin's)
So Help a Gm out Gimme some Assassin's
Of course the Joy is that the best assassin sent them here as parrt of his assassination ploy that involves them defeating a "Theives Guild" and getting a Magic Item from the rear of the Guild Dungeon ( Which will promptly kill everyone in the dungeon , ala Collapsing Roofs)

Hey Logos,
Check out DM Tools for all your NPC needs. I'll see about coming up with some zany assassins to put on that site in a bit.

A gelatinous cube assassin is finished and awaiting approval. It doesn't actually have levels in assassin, but I figure with its ability to become invisible (due to the imp possessing it), its natural tranparency, and the insane DC on its paralyzation... it doesn't need levels in assassin to be one. Not that it's a particularily effective assassin, however. 400,000 pounds and a 20 foot cube area doesn't make for a good killer if it has to get to the second floor of a building stealthily.

If the Gods have any sense of humor one of the PCs will be killed by a death-attack from the chicken.

Twould be a death most fowl.
Maybe the Death Chicken could be the head of the guild, you know, first in the pecking order. Cock of the walk.
We wouldn't want egg on our face now would we!
He's so tough he was born from a hard-boiled egg.
He might accept a bribe but he won't be won over easy!!!
and one more...
I bet he hates all the responsibility of running the guild as it keeps him couped up all day.
glad I got that out of my system.
FH (I'll have my assassin extra-crispy.)

have your assassins smear lots of stuff on the walls; floor and ceilings; hehe not just oil anymore; try tar yep lots of tar; try sneaking in through that; its sticky and gets in everything; takes forever to burn; smolderes real good and can put out lots of smoke. Next you could put a room full of feathers and a small air elemental who doesnt attack; jsut keeps back ans stirs things up; put some swinging pendulums in the room that are hard to see and hey; zany death abounds :)
you could have honey painted halls with the stuff dripping from the ceiling then send in the beserker ant or the bees who want their stuff back; oil and sloped halls are lots of zany fun; oiled floors and rooms that rock or tetertotter are zany fun too; your assasins can throw stuff or shoot from cubbie holes; any swashbucklers in your group; you can have a large, but fairly dark room with no door but with a lot of hanging chains that the party has to swing from 4 or 5 chains to get across; give lots of chains or such that the assassins can hide in and swing from and such.
you could make a pickle trap :) yep; a party member steps in a trap that has a small tunnel that drops him in a mansized vat that starts slowly filling with cheap rotguy wine; drop on a lid, you know he/she is gonna try to drink his way out; make it pretty cold and have it fill slowly; yep; he is in a pickle soon to be one. now the adventures have race to find where their party memeber whent before he drowns; give them hints of wine smells and sloshing sounds but then block the tunnel off with a trapdoor or something or put the vats on a revolving cylander; maybe you will catch a rogue trying to crawl down; zany assassins would of course think of this and heckle the mishapped adventures while they die the slow death of inebriation and drowning. (dont forget the cold factor). If the pc hurry into the next trap; maybe they can save thier buddies :)
wow you can have a lot of fun with this; I love the idea; add some rooms like a kitchen with magical snack fruits and away we go :)
have the party be heckled by the assassins the whole time in the dungeon; make fun of everythign about them; their seriousness; their clothes; their hair or lack of it; did I say fire trap :) have the voices come from pipes and holes in the floor and all kinds of stuff; stuff like Fake Healers last post would be right in line. hard boiled egg; sheesh; guess its time for me the get the flock out of here :)
