      Boshack is a lizard who, while very much evil, is pragmatic enough to learn about human norms and adapt when in human society. The undead, more often than not, are supernaturally compelled to prey on the living. Sustenance isn't even always the reason, I recall one book mentioning that ghouls locked away for centuries act no different than ghouls that have gorged themselves in the last hour.

    Honestly, finding the last stone isn't really necessary for this group. Strahd can already cast Scrying, and he's probably obtained some DNA samples from the party to make his save DC insanely high. The only thing finding the last stone would do is help future adventuring parties.
    On another note, they should totally weaponize that ability Strahd has. Create an illusion that is a relative distance away from their current location and have it say Strahd's name. It might be a useful tactic for when they assault Castle Ravenloft.
    Also, Garo just saved someone.

    • @lanapowell
      @lanapowell 4 роки тому +17

      I have a Gouda in my group. It's not so much a low INT stat as a low WIS, because they're great for facts, what with their little notebooks and such, but Perception, Insight, and general situational awareness, i.e., when to apply their facts and INT, those can be somewhat lacking.
      If you are both players, you find yourself constantly saying things like, "they don't need to know that," "quit revealing our plans," and "not every NPC needs to know our entire backstory." Your character has to learn quickly not to let their character be the Face, unless your character is particularly chaotic or has a low INT/WIS themselves. Still, very fun to play with, because you never know when they're going to screw everything up for your party, which can lead to excitement. And, you know at least someone will remember the name of that one noble from three sessions ago that you were supposed to be looking for.
      If you are DMing a group with one of these players/characters, they can be very useful tools, because you can intentionally cause situations where they're going to screw everything up for the party.
      Playing for a DM who is like this is a bit of a mixed bag, because, on the one hand, they tend to get bogged down in the minutiae of names and specifics while loosing the narrative, but on the other hand, they're very easy to lead if there's something you really want to happen. A case of "don't try to beat the game, just beat the DM."

    I love how as Gouda is sitting there trying to figure out who's talking to Irena, and the lady says Strahd. I pause it say God Damn it Gouda, hit play and Ben immediately says God Damn it Gouda. I chuckled for a bit after that.

Don't trust them if they're called Onibaba, Baba Yaga; even if their name is Baba O'Reilly, just don't do it.
