Re: (TFT) New Monster: Flesh Ferret

[Joel BoardgameRpger <joel.siragher@gmail.com>]

take a human.
Remove the skin head to toe, but leave the muscle,
Teeth lips tongue. Gone.
Eyes? Gone.
Ears? Gone.
Whats left? A rather clive-barkeresque image. Complete with red moisture
gleam. (red spray paint shellacked to preserve sheen)
cut about half way between the fore arm and elbow and attach a lobster like
arrangement.
where the chitin meets the muscle attach one foot to foot and a half
spaghetti like tendrils which sense food and deliver digest poison.

As you begin to vivisect, you will find the remains of a very very naughty
person. He failed his repent roll, no wait, he didnt even try to repent.
now he spends his time elbow to elbow with all his mates. There are
millions pressed tightly against each other, shoved up against a clear
forcefield, eyes focused so tightly on the temple of the golden arches
which litter Yrth in the 21st century.

An army. Just waiting.


Clarification:
Dripping flesh (poison) attack 3d6 vs Str or take poison effect*. Requires
cure poison potion or spell.   (*Poison effect: Player chooses 1 point per
to lower a stat per day until poison)
