Dennis Higgins As you understand it, based on his appearance in battle, he is a MAN-EATING SPIRIT of considerable, but not boundless power, characterized by bottomless appetites, skill for illusion and deception, and a hateful temperament. It is difficult to determine a specific identity based on these parameters, but you are able to turn up a couple of variations of a children's story which has certain resonances with your experience.
The basic gist of the tale is that "in a far-away land," a YOUNG PRIEST of royal blood agreed to help an older Priest bound to a tree for various transgressions in a past life. In exchange for this service, they concocted a scheme together where the OLD PRIEST breathed his spirit out of his body, and with it, possessed the DAUGHTER OF A KING. He then allowed the Young Priest to pretend to exorcise him from the princess's body, and in exchange, asked for the daughter's hand in marriage. But when the Old Priest took on a new body, in which he meant to do mischief, the Young Priest either tricked him into climbing up another tree to retrieve a thrown ball, or drove him into the tree with "a melody hateful to him."
Assuming these tales reflect a genuine encounter with the spirit in question, his name may be SUKHNUNA or JIDDIRO if any of tales preserve his name correctly.
Regular SotIS players, who would be available to play Saturday evenings in the near future? Evan Elkins is trying to find a better slot for running Nightwick abbey and asked if I was interested in trading days. And who would be interested in playing Nightwick on Sunday nights if we did switch? C Huth Chris P. Dennis Higgins James Aulds Maxime Golubchik Robert Parker Zzarchov Kowolski ?
I'm going to need to take some time to rework some unexplored areas, develop some unstocked ones, and work on new hooks. I think the next session will probably be the first weekend of June.
