The party chose some obscure language that only one of them started out with... and what happened to the party as soon as they started speaking it regularly? They were overheard by someone who not only understood it, but sold the information to the target... Needless to say the obscure language idea didn't last any longer.<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>I wonder if the group wasn't depending on it, and the GM got tired of it... either way, yes. It's definitely a risk, whatever language you pick. On this side of the Spine, even Minkaian is suspect.. *coughAmeikocoughcough*.<br/><br/>When we were doing it, it was more a case of, 'mostly, we use Common/trade language, but in fights/dealing with possible hostiles, we use this other, obscure language'. It's not foolproof, but until someone gets the ability to give everybody telepathy (which .. apparently, is a spell. My Sunday group is really getting on the ball), it does give the group a possibly useful tool.<br/><br/>Innoki usually swears in a weird blend of Orc and Gnomish.. I'm not sure what that would sound like, but my brain is supplying a blend of Russian, Klingon and the Chipmunks... <.<<br/><br/><div class="quoteheader"><div class="topslice_quote"><a href="https://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=237173.msg11714223#msg11714223">Quote from: Blinkin on 10-10-2015, 22:47:14</a></div></div><blockquote class="bbc_standard_quote">I think that we should develop an eyebrow code... that way hands wouldn't have to be free... lol<br/></blockquote><div class="quotefooter"><div class="botslice_quote"></div></div><br/>... too bad most of this group is human.
