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.
The Death of Orgone the White, Failed Savior of the Eastern Empire, had really reminded me of how often I died in Robert Parker's Krul games. I will add Orgone to the roll of dead heroes: Medium Fang and Dar-Marc the Beast Master. Let's see how long Hasslehoff the Handsome lasts or if he'll be crushed to death by a man-god.
Folg Son of Folg's Downtime: I am 100% spending this week learning to walk on stilts. Which I have purchased. Speaking of purchasing, what will the following goods set me back cole long? Stilts Rope Caltrops Jar of Ghee 7 Large Bags Long Metal Ladle 5 Soap Bars Metal Stakes & Hammer I'm also on the lookout for a war dog. Which probably isn't a sound investment, seeing as hirelings are cheaper and I don't cry when they die.
