Foos in Tian Xia

[Greeeit]

So having a terrible sense of humor, I was planing an encounter for either the Hongal or Minkai part of the adventure.

The players will encounter a group of five fighters(ish) hunting a pair of foo creatures.

I've always thought foos felt a little more Chinese than mongolian or japanese, but I haven't found anything about them only hanging out in the Tian xia equivalent of China. So are there any reasons a couple of foos couldn't have gotten lost in northern Tian xia?

[Uqbarian]

As far s I know, there's no reason they couldn't be found outside Tian Xia. They're from Nirvana, and they can show up anywhere on the Material Plane.

[Greeeit]

Then the fighters of these foul creatures will gather!!! Huzzah!

[Uqbarian]

Foul? Foos are good guys! :)

[Greeeit]

Yeah, but the foo fighters seem like pretty nice guys, so they've got to have a good reason. Not that I have any idea what that reason would be. I'll probably end up playing them as nice monsterhunters until the players find out they're hunting good outsiders. Who knows, I hadn't really thought it through beyond the joke.

[Uqbarian]

Ha! I completely missed the joke before. Perhaps they should be arcane duellists or multiclassed bard/fighters. :) Also, you could have it that one or both sides have been tricked into fighting by an oni - a nogitsune would be a good choice for this.

[Greeeit]

I'm liking this angle. Maybe if they encounter them between the wall of heaven and Ordu-Aganhei they could be used as entertainment at that one feast.... Yes, this could work.... Though I feel this plotline is getting a little more convoluted than the one off joke it was supposed to be xD

[MannyGoblin]

Pity the foos!

[Greeeit]

Because they're relentlessly hunted by a mindcontrolled group of adventurers because of a one off joke that will probably end up (knowing this party) taking at least a session on its own. No my friend, 'tis the Dm with the punbased sense of humor I pity.
