[Kagus]

Swarm ranger except the swarm is fish and we're on land.

Piranha 4: This time, they've brought a friend

Also, fey or no fey, I highly doubt that a swarmkeeper is someone who'll get many invitations to a formal ball. Remember that they always have their swarm on them.

[IcyTea31]

No, no, you must invite them to every ball. That way they can feel superior by actively refusing and won't crash the party out of spite. Rangers in general are smug about not needing urban conveniences and being at home in nature.

[delphonso]

Forgotten Realms are weird enough that a person covered in worms would probably be a hit at parties. Kenku love 'em!

[IcyTea31]

Considering the worms poof away to the Feywild when they die, it's tasty snackfood that won't even make you fat!

[wierd]

You guys are missing the obvious here.

Our swarm master, is in fact--- The seafood chef, hired by the manor house to cater the event.  That's how they got the discount on super fresh prawn.

(also, from what I am understanding here, the swarm does not have to be alive to serve as the locus for the free teleportation. Said caterer can in fact, murder the entire guest list at will, after they gorge themselves on the unlimited seafood buffet, by telefragging them in rapid succesion.)

[delphonso]

I got food poisoning from buffet shrimp once.

Doesn't seem so bad in comparison...

[Kadzar]

Sure, a Swarmkeeper could surround themselves with disgusting vermin, but they could just as easily have magical songbirds or butterflies instead. Honestly, this is probably the closest any D&D character can get to being a Disney princess.

So I pass notes. Lots of them. But I'm planning an improv session -3 for a game I'm running and I need random notes. Market sale prices, local gossip, arrogant braggart talk, anything to fill note cards. Player tension is a goal of mine due to plot stuff, so note passing helps keep them on edge.

Help me Bay12, you're my only hope.

"Did you hear that Marisha was cheating on John with a tiefling?"
"No!"
"I know, right? 10 years of marriage, down the drain? Just for a fling!"

"Getcha fresh fly brains! Getcha fly brains here! A delicacy from [Place Name]!"

"The world is doomed, but the prophecies say [number of PCs] heroes will stop the end!"
"Go home Ned, you're drunk."

"Fos Ro Dah." -random Dragonborn

"They say the only thing that can kill a Shambling Mound is a good round of lightning."

You see a man say "Rakshasas don't exist! Don't be silly!". As he walks away you could have sworn his hands were backward...

"They say only magic can kill a flesh golem."

"A kenku stole 10 Gp from me! Why can't we just exterminate the vermin?"

"No, stabbing a rakshasa with a rapier ain't gonna work. No, what you need to do, is have a wizard cast Acid Splash on it, then it's sure to die."

"Some kind of big blue humanoid frog just showed up and clawed me, and ran off! Now I feel a bit sick..."

"I've been invited to an illithid dinner. What's an illithid?"

"Remember Fred, cats can sense fear."

"Just put a horseshoe on your door, and the fey'll leave you alone."

You hear a man shout, "The snake people are infiltrating our society! Wake up sheeple!"
You see a bunch of sheep folk wake up from their slumber.

[IcyTea31]

Ah, you want "they say" type rumours? Look no further than Nethack's lists of true and false ones.

How many of those would a DnD character say, though?

[wierd]

"Gnolls and fire? Pht--"

[IcyTea31]

How many of those would a DnD character say, though?

Surprisingly many.

83. I wouldn't advise playing catch with a giant.
173. They say that Juiblex is afraid of a wand of digging.
254. They say that monsters never step on a scare monster scroll.
361. You might be able to bribe a demon lord.

73. Floating eyes (beholders) can't stand Hawaiian shirts.
165. The longer the wand the better.
257. They say that if you sleep with a demon you might awake with a headache.
348. They say that you should never introduce a rope golem to a succubus.

"Don't look, but they're plotting against you."

"They're onto you."

"You suddenly remember the first meatball sub you ever ate."

You suddenly remember you are a fictional character played by [Player name], but then you forget.

I DMed for the first time in a long  time last night... And rocked it out of the park. My two hour plans turned into four hours of play.
