I wanted to play up the Olman souls in the Cerulean Curtain and, as written, there are only a couple of phrases that the party can hear when they pass through the barrier. So I cobbled together a few more as clues, fluff or red herrings and handed them out randomly as my players passed through.
They seemed to go over pretty well with the group so I thought I would post them here in case someone else wanted to do a similar thing. They are probably pretty cliche and somewhat tuned to fit into my campaign, so feel free to modify them to fit your particular details.
I also included the ones from the Lightless Depths.
- the princes pay the piper, we are the coin
- two faces watch the tide.
- our souls save all souls.
- the maw flows forth to bite.
- the tear holds back the sorrow of the people for all time.
- a sea of darkness washes across the isle.
- the tide rises from lightless depths.
- the blind see, the deaf hear, the dead live.
- a city falls, the empire falls.
- save me, free me, ple-e-a-a-s-s-e.
- the Gods protect us.
- Tlaloc, save us.
- death to the fish-demons, free all the enslaved.
- a curse upon the princes of Thanaclan.
- a soul for Mictlantecuhtli to guard the people.
- betrayer beware betrayal.
- the empty vessel holds no water.
These are cool. I will definitely use them as inspiration when, or if, we will start the savage tide again. It is sort of on hold at the moment due to problems in my group.
I wish you'd posted this a month ago. That was when my group hit the Curtain. This would have been awesome.
