Bad Bites

Mod Priority: Fixed Time

Desired Timeslot: Friday night, traveler entry mod

NPCs Required: 2-4 Somnambulist Semper Morts

Content Type: Social, Combat

Summary:

A small group of relatively fresh Somnambulist Semper Morts gather with travelers seeking to enter Ellistown Landing through the main gate at the beginning of Friday night. They have been on the road for a few days with nothing to eat, so they're asking PC's for a bite.

Details:

All of the Semper Morts are ravenously hungry and half of the group is infected with Bad Brain (level 1?). The Semper Morts will interact with the travelers, attempting to convince them to offer some of their own flesh to sate their hunger, though they will accept other meat with some grumbling about "wanting to fill up on fresh meat" and continued efforts with others. If PC's allow themselves to be fed on, they risk being unknowingly infected with Bad Brain. Semper Morts with Bad Brain must quietly inform those they feed on that they are infected and that they are not aware until they have been examined by someone with the Basic Medical skill.   If no one allows the Sempers to feed on them, they will resort to feeding on each other, which will infect the rest of the group with Bad Brain (which they may spread to the rest of town once they enter). The Sempers are not intentionally trying to spread Bad Brain but they are trying to feed on as many people as possible before they continue their journey.   Players may examine the Sempers with Basic Medical to discern if they have Bad Brain, at which point they may choose to either cure the infected or kill them while still outside of town. Once inside of town, they will have to deal with the legal system should they choose to kill the Semper Morts.   If no one chooses to examine the Semper Morts, they will feed on as many people as possible, then leave town without a fuss.
