Think of the little guy!

Has anyone noticed there's a talking skull in the Yawning Portal? For some reason, when you click on it, he says what you are supposed to say. In my opinion, that's not right. Also, I believe there is supposed to be only one of him. Maybe Ziroc could give it a Demilich Appearance or Skull Candle appearance so it looks a little more real.

.. and then call it, "Yorick"

You know, that is a GREAT idea--using the demi-lich as his NPC. I had problems with the conversation dialogue with a placable, and using the demilich will make it work perfectly, and look right!!

Thanks, I'll do it tonight, it'll be a simple change too. Wee!

Only thing is, that skull is an actual character from Mark Anthonys Novel from Forgotten Realms book 3 of the The Nobles series called Escape from Undermountain. Which was Zirocs insperation for his Mod by the same name.

The skull's name is Muragh Brilstagg and he was discovered by the main story character Artek the Knife in the lower caverns of Undermountain, the skull is all that left of a priest of Lathander that pestered an evil mage to give up his dark ways. The mage secretly cast a magical curse on Muragh thinking that a undeath curse would drive Muragh mad. A short time after the cruse Muragh's loose tongue landed hom in a bar fight in which he received a knife through the heart. Afterward his body was tossed into a dark alley, then weeks later some drunk soldier found him and thought him to be some monster come back and cut his head off and threw it into the bay near the harbor of Waterdeep. later the skull was found and passed from one to another finally being tossed into the depths of undermountain. In the book the Skull is telling Artek of how he got there and described how while in the bay the starfish sucked out his brains and the eel's ate his eyeballs, while the fish ate the flesh and picked his boney skull clean and while being total aware of what was happening.
also you can look around and you will find Artek standing around the inn near the skull.

I have always like talking to the skull then running away and letting a new person stumble upon the skull talking to itself.

[Ziroc]

I've changed it!! Check it out, now you can see his entire conversation! (I added voice too)

[Teri-sha Illistyn]

Oh I was sooo hoping I could actually pick him up and tote him around undermountain!! LOL

[Ziroc]

So did you think he was funny???? [img]smile.gif[/img] Yeah, I was thinking of making him a Hireling!! LOL!!! He would have to head butt enemies HAHAHAH!

[Teri-sha Illistyn]

ROFL that would be Hilarious!!!! Would he be a full fledged Demi-lich NPC?? Or just kind of a damage buffer for the lower levels??
