SPOILER NOTICE!
That being said, we've included something of an out in the Unhowdes. These are a set of seven artifacts, one corresponding to each flock member. These are the personal weapons of the flock from the before time, each one forged from half of the wielder's soul. They are intended to make defeating the corresponding member considerably easier (see Annoxus' story in the original book). We won't be publishing a product (at least not for a long time) in which the flock are destroyed, but for DM's who want to have their parties take on a flock member, a campaign could be written around getting one's hands on one of the Unhowdes. However, if a party member did take over for a feathered fowl, that would likely be the end of the game unless the DM was exceptionally innovative. A better option would be to have the citadel crumble and have the lock open, and the party would then have to deal with the consequences of a land suddenly without its warden.]]> Mon, 28 Jun 2010 00:11:07 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic9-.aspx Thu, 10 Jun 2010 22:38:38 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic9-.aspx Thu, 10 Jun 2010 15:06:55 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic9-.aspx Thu, 10 Jun 2010 11:18:02 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic9-.aspx Thu, 10 Jun 2010 09:43:30 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic9-.aspx Thu, 10 Jun 2010 07:32:20 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic9-.aspx edited by ToddM on 6/10/2010]]> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 07:24:29 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic9-.aspx Thu, 10 Jun 2010 06:39:46 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic9-.aspx
some of the other flock may test with words rather than combat and the lord of Eclipse has open parties where he freely mingles among the lessor folk

by the way there is a new painting of Barbello already done you cannot see it here but it is on my website under "things" and titled "angle of war". www,toddmorasch.com let me know what you think]]> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 06:16:54 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic9-.aspx
I really like the idea of a one-on-one call out. I have considered doing it with Barbello, because it seems likely in any long term Arena stint. But the idea of using someone else more civil or mysterious is growing on me.]]> Thu, 10 Jun 2010 05:50:07 GMT https://forums.epidemicbooks.net/topic9-.aspx
on the other hand i also will throw very powerful and dangerous things in the path of my players with no consideration to how they might survive. this is great to because it forces players to think on there feet and be innovative. greg has been a player in all my games for the last 15 years and never fails to do the unexpected in the most dangerous moments creating some of my favorite gaming memories.

Were the four horned feathered foul are concerned remember why they are there if they come up against one of your crew or a whole group and they are kicking butt they may fight to subdue and leave them alive to grow stronger , they might even say "i will be back for you, in time when your skill matches your will." this kind of trashing can give a group motivation to become more skilled.

in turn one of the flock may disable the group and choose a one on one battle with the strongest. they may even kill one of those who shows they can harm one of the flock, but rarely out of rage and more do to there requirements. the death of a character if done right can add great dramatic weight to a game and even give the person who dies a moment that will be talked about for years to come, never let a death be a throw away as a dm always milk that for all the drama a tv show or movie would.

hope that helps some
