Spoilers for Books 1-2 below
My group is just wrapping up Burnt Offerings. I'm going to give them a bit of downtime to buy/craft some things while they revel in their victory. There will be a few non-combat encounters with NPCs before I start them down the murder mystery.
One of the PCs is a Drow masquerading as half-elf (Shoanti on the human side) that insists upon wearing a mask, all the time. He's been further fleshing out his backstory (abandoned at birth, raised by an elven couple to see if they could redeem him, playing CN, etc...) and just sent me the below, not having any advance info on what they're going to be up against. I was definitely *evil GM laugh*-ing as I read it.
Now, fellow GMs, how do I use this for great gaming? I've had NPCs give him crap for wearing a mask, but his character refuses to remove it. Although, Shayliss did slide it up after revealing there were no rats, so she's gotten at least a bit of a look at him ;) He's even gone along with being kicked out of a few shops because he won't reveal his face.
I was thinking of having him arrested as soon as he sets foot in Magnimar (someone has to have had at least a bit of a description of the Skinsaw Masks the cultists wear). Then, the rest of the party can appeal to Justice Ironbriar when they deliver Orik and Lyrie to him. They'll get some good interaction with the Justice while they vouch for their party member to get him out of jail. Any thoughts?
