EvilGeniusPrime Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 (edited) Hello everyone. I don't have my previous editions handy. I'm currently preparing a 7th ed adventure and was wondering if there is a spell to banish Eihort's brood from an investigator who has accepted "the bargain". I seem to remember one in a previous edition, but can't be sure. I don't see anything in 7e like that.

K Peterson Posted December 29, 2016 Share Posted December 29, 2016 6th edition has a spell called Balk Brood, which does extract Eihort's Brood from a victim's body. Page 218. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Whatever moves the story along best. So go and pry through musty tomes from the past until you find what you seek. I have always shied away from using Eihort because of "the bargain"; it's a bit too "Adult Content" even for some adults I know. (The writer descended into a vile rant of frustration and expletives at this point) 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

If Eihort's Brood makes you and your adults too squeamish then you'll probably want to avoid the Daughters of Atlach-Nacha. There's a Delta Green "shotgun scenario" that includes the unwilling transformation of a D-AN, and it isn't pleasant. Made for a great session, though, for my group.

EvilGeniusPrime Posted December 30, 2016 Author Share Posted December 30, 2016 My group isn't squeamish, thankfully. Although I played a character who made the bargain once. The GM just glossed over the whole thing. Which to me, made if feel less horrific. I've never read the source material by Ramsey Campbell though. So even I don't know the mechanics of brood implantation. The imagination conjures horrible imagery though. LOL! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Just remember that you might be setting your crew up for one of the most perverse party wipes ever. Death by mass alien deity impregnation. Memorable, but a bit rapey.

EvilGeniusPrime Posted January 3, 2017 Author Share Posted January 3, 2017 They'll have access to the Balk Brood spell after the fact. Regardless, I'm pretty sure they'll enjoy the adventure. I've been running various RPG's for this group for over a decade now. I know what their boundaries are. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Warchilde Posted January 7, 2017 Share Posted January 7, 2017 Balk Brood is like the Call of Cthulhu version of a Plan B morning after pill. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
