In the recent thread I started, Please help (I'm not Evil Genius enough), I mention a high level wizard NPC who deals in high-level magic services of questionable morality. I made a reference there that I thought some of you might like elaborated.
Our STAP (Savage Tide With Fire Trolls) was started by TracerBullet42 and I, a former player, have recently stepped into the DM seat (Stepped? Kinda sat, really). During the Sea Wyvern’s Wake, one of the little things Rowyn did to spread strife was to disguise herself as Barnaby and whisper to one of the PCs that Thunderstike is actually a young woman that Avner once fraternized with who spurned him. Avner paid this wizard a great deal of money to turn her into a horse. Rowyn expressed an alleged quote of Avner’s regarding his reason for the act, but it’s a little blue (you can probably guess).
Now that I’ve taken over as DM, it remains up in the air if it is all just a lie on Rowyn’s part to spread discord, or if it just happens to be the case that Thunderstrike is really a Balefully Polymorphed young commoner.
Like I said, thought some of you might be interested. Watch the blog for developments.
Just FYI...it was Floyd's idea first...and here's the original thread where it was discussed.

Cool! Yeah, it doesn't supprise me that it was Floyd. Well, we didn't rise to the occasion, reasoning that things were best left as they were until such time as we could actually do something about it - assuming it were true. I remember even ruminating what would happen if we had a Druid cast "Awaken" on Thunderstike and then have a mage cast "Baleful Polymorph" - in theory you'd have a human female regardless of whether or not she ever had been before.
I still haven't decided, but his new twist with Rowyn and her mage contact certainly makes it plausable.
Hmmm...
