Re: Grave-robbing bears
What an insanely cool thread title.
The story, however, is quite sad. Its really a shame the bears' natural food sources are diminishing so much that they're resorting to this. It is also quite sad for the families of the "victims".
I did quite like the line, "from far away he resembled a large man in a fur coat tenderly kneeling over the grave of a loved one"
For me, this story was a strange case of sadness/poignant and pure EPICNESS.

Yeah, that line was pretty chilling. You could imagine a Ravenloft scene starting off like that... and then the "grieving mourner" looks up at the PCs and there is a glimmer of red in its empty sockets...!

... and suddenly, the ghoul is eaten by a bear.

Re: Grave-robbing bears
Then the bear contracts ghoul fever and...what? Starts eating other bears because that's what cannibalism is for bears? Or maybe it was a werebear and we've got a ghoulish one!?
If you can't tell, dozens of cheap horror movies and way too much candy have rotted my brains more than usual. ...And my teeth.

Ghoul bears only eat bear corpses... and also honey, but the honey must come from the hives of Zombees.

What would fear of bears be? Ursophobia?
Whatever it is, Stephen Colbert also suffers from it.

Russian bears (like the grave robbing bears) are scary because they have such evil evil goals.
American bears... well, not so much.

Re: Grave-robbing bears
A werebear IMO, could become ghoul. A natural bear would propably die from that. However, I think even carrion animals shun the cursed flesh of the undead.High Priest Mikhal wrote:Then the bear contracts ghoul fever and...what?

In a more serious note, that's terrible for the families.
