"Ten feet, twenty feet, thirty feet south. Passage turns east and west. Which way do you go?"
"We go South."
Stupefied look and momentary pause. "Okay. Bump, bump, bump."

Ooh. Looky Here: "Animated Scarecrow Unit"
NOW HERE'S A ROUGH BUNCH! I like the lower left one with the jack-o-lantern head. Nathaniel Hawthorne would have been proud!
Well hello there, Clang, you "old salt". Scarecrows are neat; but the only one I've used in design was in "Dark Chateau," but it did invoke fear even in its unanimated form. :)
Now if we can get a unit of "clowns" fielded, eh? ;)
Glad to see you still around, consider posting more often!--RJK
How ironic. The other night I stumbled upon the Wizard of Oz on TV and watched most of it until the end late at night. With everything I have been learning these past years, the movie struck me as more profound than ever.
Very nice. Thanks for sharing that.
ReplyDeleteScarecrows are always overlooked in AD&D it seems to me. In Palladium, they're fearsome demonic creatures though. :) Especially in Rifts.
Cool. The 'mancatcher' types seem likely as bottle-openers, too... ;)
ReplyDeleteI have used animated scarecrows in a number of my OAD&D games. Good stuff. Scary.

Journalizer! Welcome old friend. I do hope all is well on your side of the universe. :)
ReplyDeleteYeah, OZ. Getting "home" with brains, heart and courage, with a lot of help from friends. Timeless stuff.
Keep following that star. :)
oh no, not clows! ó__ò
ReplyDeleteFunny thing is I thought they looked like bottle openers too.
