Finally, My Elf Gets Her Comeuppance
Posted 31 August 2008 in Gaming by Catriona
So, I’ve made the point a couple of times that my Elf Ranger will sleep with anyone whom she comes across in the course of her adventures.
I’ve been playing the “Tower of Darkness” adventure in the background while live-blogging “Forest of the Dead” and I’ve just succeeded in this encounter:
Saeana found an empty guest bedroom in the expansive castle. Exhausted from her travels, she decided to rest for a moment on the bed. She was awoken by a kiss from a handsome stranger.
Saeana made a Wisdom check with a difficulty of 18 . . . and rolled 24
Saeana smiled and rose from the bed to introduce herself, but her romantic encounter was cut short as castle guards burst into the room. They moved to take the man. It hissed, dropped its guise, and spread its wings. A succubus! For a moment, Saeana felt compelled to protect the impostor, but she quickly shook that off and helped the guards subdue it. The captain of the guard rewarded Saeana for her help in the matter.
Now do you see why I’ve been complaining about your behaviour, Saeana?
If you continue to sleep with every handsome stranger that you come across in your adventures, some of them might turn out to be soul-sucking succubi.
I suppose that this time she bothered to at least try to introduce herself first.

Now I can’t stop — I’m wondering whether the captain ‘rewarded’ her as well.

Well, I didn’t get any armour out of that adventure, so I’d say it’s 50-50.

As an additional curiosity, here’s what happens when you meet a succubus (but shouldn’t this be an incubus?) and fail your Wisdom roll:
17 damage! You daft cow.
