Yesterday's game went really well and I had a lot of fun, as did Other Kenjari and
iralith, my fellow ratman spies. The three of us were NPCs, but we were pretending to be PCs and regular adventurers. We were really ratmen who had polymorphed into human form in order to spy on the adventurers as they began the process of dealing with a mysterious plague. The whole subterfuge turned out to be a lot easier than I thought it would be. The only hard part, and the only part that I actually felt guilty about was the out of game lying - to maintain our cover and make sure this came off properly in game, we had to tell people that we were PC-ing and check in as if we really were PCs. We had also come up with three levels of cover story that anyone who got too inquisitive or suspicious would have had to wade through before arriving at the truth. The massive amount of dishonesty in game didn't bother me at all, surprisingly. Luckily, it worked perfectly and the real PCs suspected nothing and thus were gratifyingly shocked when we were revealed at the end of the game.
As usual, it was great to see everyone (so sorry you couldn't make it,
davidsmom1 - you were missed) at the game and at the Athenian afterwards.
