Eye of the Dark One

[Adonis1x23]

When Redcloak lost his eye, and told not to regenerate it, my first thought was 'how cool would it be if some of the top goblin/hobgoblin generals became Eyes of the Dark One?'

Essentially, it would just be a goblin version of the Eye of Gruumsh (http://www.orcs.ca/orcsmain/roleplaydndeye.html) prc.

I really think/hope Jirix, and other higher up goblin officers, become these elite, pious warriors.

It totally fits with the whole theocratic, military regime of the goblin empire; a bunch of faith driven generals sacrifice one of their eyes out of respect and admiration for their holy leader in the service to The Dark One? That is awesome, and a sickeningly similar parallel to the Sapphire Guard--minus the eye gouging, obviously.

What do you guys think of this crack hypothesis/demented wish? Did anyone have a similar thought:smalltongue:?

[Optimystik]

The Dark One having both of HIS eyes might be a problem.

At least, until we send O-Chul after him.

[Daefos]

Gruumsh only has one eye. That's why the Eye of Gruumsh class makes sense.

This doesn't make sense.

[AtopTheMountain]

Perhaps the "Spleen of the Dark One" would work better, judging by his death...

[Draconi Redfir]

they could paint their skin blue and become the flesh of the dark one?

[Assassin89]

No. The skin would have to be purple.

[Acero]

okay, they can paint half their face purple

[Adonis1x23]

I understand that the Dark One still has two eyes, but as the carrier of the Crimson Mantle, Redcloak is like the earthly will of the Dark One.

I just thought it would be cool.

[Drakevarg]

"Bearer of the Crimson Mantle" might make for a cool prestige class, but I think Redcloak is just a straight cleric.

[Draconi Redfir]

i wonder. is the crimsion mantle limited to only goblins? or is their an equivilent to it for bugbears and hobgoblins?

[Drakevarg]

Given that the Dark One is the patron diety of goblinoids, I'm guessing that anything with the subtype (Goblinoid) can become a bearer of the crimson mantle.

Although it might be awkward to have a Bugbearer of the Crimson Mantle :smalltongue::smalltongue:

[Mando Knight]

Then they'd get punched by Batman. Through space-time!

[Dr.Epic]

Dark One not equals Gruumsh

I think Miko coming back as a death knight is a better possibility.

There's one who reads xkcd...

[ThePhantasm]

Have we ever even seen a bugbear at any point in the strip? I want to say we have, but I can't recall where...

There is one in the crayon section of SoD, but not online AFAIK.
