I'm hoping someone has either run into these, or can point me at some examples.</p>
<p>Storykin: If a storykin is destroyed "their essences float intangibly through the realm". Does that mean that the body dissolves/melts on death, or is it just the animating force that leaves it? Related: Can PCs tell that storykin are not normal humans or monsters?</p>
<p>Harrow cards: If a card is relevant, but has no obvious effects (such as giving the PCs a bonus to saves they haven't made yet, or penalizing the monster if the PCs do something they haven't tried), should I just tell the players, or make them figure it out (and thus possibly miss out)? I know either one could work, but I'm hoping that one or the other has worked better for people in the past.</p>
<p>[Spoiler omitted]</p>
<p>Finally, any character references or advice for RPing Brambleson? I have a hard time wrapping my mind around how he talks and acts.</p>I'm running my group through The Harrowing, and even though we haven't gotten very far, I've already run into a few things I can't figure out.
