It is only a mass murdering piece of furniture if it kills at least two interns in the same incident.

Otherwise, it is Hannibal Lecter serial killer furniture.

Ok ... now, why am I imagining that the Paizo offices are secretly furnished with SKR's mimics ...

"Hello Sara Marie. Quid pro quo, remember?"

Actually to be a serial killer it has to have killed three or more, over a period of over a month, with cool downs between the kills. A spree killer kills multiple people in multiple locations very rapidly. Mass murderers kill at least 4 people in one location.

Huh, I didn't know about spree killers. Good to know!

Honestly a lot of what I've picked up actually comes from the TV show "Criminal Minds" (and reading a lot on the subjects, because they fascinate me)


@Turin the Mad: Will do. I am thinking having them investigate a Mansion where people suddenly started disappearing while inside. During their investigations the get attacked by Mimics. They won't know what is a Mimic & what isn't. Also can a Mimic speak?

@Cori Marie:
So...
Serial Killer: Hannibal Lecter, or at least the people he was based on.
Spree Killer: Jack the Ripper.
Mass Murder: Columbine Shooter(s).

Serial Killer: Hannibal Lecter, Ted Bundy, Jeffrey Dahmer, John Wayne Gacy, Jack the Ripper (he ran for at least three months if all you look at are the 'canonical five' and three plus years if you look at all the Whitechapel murders)

Spree Killers are less prolific, as the public doesn't have time to get fascinated by them like they do a serial killer. Its also a hard distinction to make between serial and spree, the big difference being a long cooling off period between kills. Charles Starkweather murdered almost a person a week over his killing spree road trip through the midwest. The other big distinction is that Serial Killers remain fairly unknown during their kill period, where a spree killer's identity will be known almost immediately.

Mass Murder: Columbine, Virginia Tech, Aurora Theater

Mimics by default speak Common ... *evilgrin*

Spice up the lawn of the Mansion with a Wolf-in-Sheep's-Clothing. Have a doppleganger as the only obvious butler - who then gets eaten by the furniture.

Azaelas Fayth: You hafta share when you finish! :-D


@Cori Marie: IIRC Jack the Ripper committed his Murders in surges. Typically a full week of killing then a break and then another full week. So I guess he would be a bit of both. What would Charles Manson be? If you only look at his infamous killings? If you look at all the murders he is suspected of committing?

@Turin the Mad: I am happy to here that. Now I can trick them with Children supposedly hiding.

I was thinking a Garden Maze with a set of Taurun(Minotaur-Based Race) Keepers. Some Wolf-in-Sheep's-Clothing in the Grounds. I was thinking more of some Undead. Maybe even some Intelligent Undead, Magus Zombies and such, that are there to destroy the ones who destroyed their "Savior's" Family.

@Thunderspirit: I will open a thread once I get things finished. We will be playing it probably towards the end of the Month. Just PM me to remind me to post it... We have decided to space out our Pathfinder Games to avoid getting Burned Out on it. Gotta love getting the A Song of Ice & Fire RPG.

Hah! I statted up a butterfrog-mantis shrimp crossbreed a little while back. Hopefully, it'll be in the upcoming Butterfrog book, or maybe a web enhancement release.

They're actually consistent, just cut in different places.
