*GMs wishing to change the locale of the Libertarian
Sewer Flukes are, of course, more than welcome to do so. Try picking a location that has a local
accent that you can properly mangle...
As has been mentioned elsewhere, there are lots
of weird things hanging out in the NYC sewer system. Libertarian Sewer Flukes (LSFs) aren't even remotely the weirdest
- although they are hardly prosaic denizens of the City That Never Sleeps. Of course, it's hard to be prosaic when you
look and smell like a flattened halibut.
There's a lesson there.
Well, probably not.
The funny part is, they aren't even really what one
would call dangerous. The average LSF
is perfectly happy to just swim around in its preferred habitat, doing the
sorts of things that appeal to a LSF and generally having a heck of a good time
(well, good from the point of view of an LSF).
They don't hang out much with each other, unless they feel like having
an argument. You see, they really are
Libertarians, and they all approach that particular philosophy from unique
viewpoints. Nobody has yet figured out
yet just how they managed to learn and study Libertarianism in the first place
- or how they keep track of the latest publications. Possibly some kind soul comes down and reads aloud to them every
so often. Or maybe it's yet another
insane byproduct of the reality warp that is the NYC sewer system.
On the rare occasions that they do have to
fight, well, don't fight them on their own turf. Their preferred method of attack is essentially to wrap
themselves around a target, start constricting and hope for the best. Considering that few people can breathe sewage
(and fewer would want to), this is actually a decent strategy. However, they only fight when attacked, and
they taste horrible, horrible, horrible, so the issue often doesn't come
up. The closest thing that LSFs have to
an actual enemy are the giant ants known as Them, and that doesn't really
count: the LSFs just try to convince individual Them to leave their collective
and live free, and the Them pretty much ignore the Libertarian Sewer Flukes.
With the above, one would think that LSFs would have
almost no contact at all with other life forms; a reasonable assumption, but
quite untrue. The reason why is simple:
the sewer system of NYC (or any other major city) is a very confusing place to
get around in, unless you're a Libertarian Sewer Fluke. They just somehow know where things are, and
how to get to them - and, provided that you can make them a decent offer, a LSF
will be more than happy to guide you there.
Of course, finding something that a LSF would want
might be an adventure in itself. So
would understanding their directions; thanks to the laws of dramatic
necessity, all LSFs speak with a Brooklyn accent so thick that you could bounce
rocks off of it...
