Mind’s eye theatre

When you have an audience willing to stop and listen, you can present them with a story so vivid and powerful it will unfold as a set of stunning moving pictures before their minds’ eyes. Though same in appearance and plot the pictures will have a slightly different set and tone for each of the listeners, striking the most susceptible chords of their souls. Choose the underlying motive of your tale, try to make the story true and real and roll. If it is…

…a ballad of fighing prowess and unmatched bravery, +Str.

…a tale about feats of agility and artfull dodging, +Dex

…a eulogy to resilence and self-sacrifice, +Con

…an insightful story spreading knowledge and true understanding of the word, +Int

…a parable prasing unobvious desicions and carefully weighted choices, +Wis

…an anecdote about charming scoundrels and witty lovers, +Cha

On a 10+ for a while after the performance ends the audience will share a strong emotion you chose as a motive of your story and some of the listeners may even briefly show treats and skills of its heroes.

On a 7-9 the audience will share the basic emotion conveyed by the story although it will be strongly influenced or distorted by personal experiences making the reactions hard to predict.
