Sabina Merrin's appearance (SPOILERS)


Curse of the Crimson Throne

Silver Crusade

Conversation elsewhere on the interjets reminded me of this, and my party is going to be coming up on this sooner than later.

When we see Sabina

Spoiler:
in Crown of Thorns, she's had quite the shocking makeover. Scars all over for starters, albiet not as horrific as the standard described for the Gray Maidens.

IIRC, it's never stated where she got these, and my players being who they are will be wanting to know. Illeosa was the prime suspect in my head, considering how she likely sees Sabina as a possession and is currently high on Kazavon, ramping up her sadistic tendencies.

But I'm also thinking they could all be self inflicted, out of guilt for what has happened to the Maidens under her command. A sort of ritualistic self-mutilation that helps her function up until she finally makes the leap towards redemption.

Or something else entirely?

What sounds like more of an emotional gut punch to you, as far as further selling Sabina as a sympathetic character?(which isn't TOO much of a concern really, considering how empathetic and into-the-setting the PCs are, plus they're already tight with Vencarlo and Grau) Aiming for something that would make the players actually pause with shocked silence, or at least a breathless "Holy @#$%".

I believe Ileosa caused the scars. Not really sure that would come as a big, shocking moment to you party, though.

It's all about the context and delivery in that case, I suppose. ;) The how/when/why of it could really change things.
