>>38816162
In the game, or did they just show up for the session with a jug of centipedes?

>>38816162
Have them all eat each other and let the sole survivor grow into a massive 5 foot long centipede that can be your player's companion. Or it could eat him, I'd give it a 50/50.

>>38816218
This. This is one of those situations where distinguishing between "player" and "character" is very important.

Unless he opens up that jug on the regular to fed them fuckers (don't mention this or prompt him), when he goes to use them it is just a bunch of bug corpses.

>>38816217
>>38816218
This is in the game, sorry, I should have specified.

>>38816218
If a man showed up in my house with that many centipedes, in a jug or a pail or a suitcase or anything, I would immediately vacate the premises and never return

>>38816299
Let him be one with the centipedes.

>>38816162
is his character Little King John or something?

My first thought was not "in the game or in real life?" but "Why a jug?"

>>38816162

Would come in handy for interrogating an NPC.

>"See my friend over there? If you don't tell us what we want to know he's going to dump a jar of centipedes on you."
>"....what?!"
*leans in close*
>"A jar. Of centipedes."
*PC in the back smiles and shakes the jar*

>>38816299
Oh, then is this that thing where all the centipedes eat each other and supposedly the poison gets really strong?

>>38816469
Shaking the jar seems like a terrible idea

>>38816162
If he throws it at an opponent the have to make a will save to avoid being afflicted with the "heebie-jeebies"

>>38816162
If ever bothers to count them, tell him he was only able to find 2999.

>>38816562

>more than he put in
oh god they're breeding

>>38816542
Heebie-jeebies? HEEBIE-JEEBIES! Bitch that's a JUG OF CENTIPEDES! Even the bravest of men would run like a sissy!

>>38816245
That's fairly awesome. Now he needs another 2299 jars of centipedes so he can replicate it multiple time and forge and monster worthy of a title, and possibly a demonic lineage of horrors.

>>38816598
Oh god... what if he puts pits of monsters int he jugs to feed them? Like the big one at the end. Like... "Oh we killed a dragon. A few drop of dragon's blood and a few bits of meat into my Murder Jar here..."

Assuming he's got the biggest, nastiest kind of centipedes (Scolopendra gigantca) in there, that's about 45 pounds of centipedes.

Which would come out to around 15 cubic feet, pic related.

Alternatively, that's nearly a half-mile of centipedes, laid out end-to-end.


Of course, if they're smaller centipedes it could be quite less, but I'm sure as a responsible DM you will want to make things as interesting as possible.

Is it even a jug anymore, at that size? And how does one carry around that? You'll need a cart or something.

>>38817187
Jug of holding that shit.

thought experiment. Given the assumptions that

1. if you put centipedes in an enclosed space together, they will eat eachother until there is just one left, and
2. that survivor will have all the combined strength/malice of the rest,

what if you just fill a bag of holding with centipedes? aren't they limitless? If you could fill an infinite space with centipedes, would the survivor of such a nightmare of segments and mandibles be infinitely strong?

But then again, I suppose it would take an infinitely long time to reach that conclusion...

>>38817482
that sounds like the basis of a dark religion, kinda like what >>38816598 was getting at.

there was an item of the week on Sleepy Hallow that was this
>Gu (simplified Chinese: 蛊; traditional Chinese: 蠱; pinyin: gǔ; Wade–Giles: ku) or jincan (simplified Chinese: 金蚕; traditional Chinese: 金蠶; pinyin: jīncán; Wade–Giles: chin-ts'an; lit. "gold silkworm") was a venom-based poison associated with cultures of south China, particularly Nanyue. The traditional preparation of gu poison involved sealing several venomous creatures (e.g., centipede, snake, scorpion) inside a closed container, where they devoured one another and allegedly concentrated their toxins into a single survivor. Gu was used in black magic practices such as manipulating sexual partners, creating malignant diseases, and causing death.

I actually have a Witch in a pathfinder campaign that uses the spell Swarm Skin to turn all of her soft tissue into spiders.

She even avoided actually birthing her child by doing that, using her centipedes to move her infant out of her skeletons pelvis, and then re-forming herself.

Centipede fetishist from OP here, going to answer a few questions. Firstly, in the game you fuckers. Why would I have 2310 centipedes in real life and where would I get them?

>>38816455
A jug was the most convenient and cheapest thing. Gotta think price-to-performance, man.

>>38816976
>>38817122
The centipedes in the jug are each (In inches) 6*0.25*0.125. That means each centipede has a volume of 0.1875 cubic inches. There are 231 cubic inches in a gallon. In my initial math I got lazy I guess, because the total should be 1232 minus a few for breathing room, not 2310. I guess I didn't expect my GM to allow it. I'll fix that on my sheet now.

>>38821002
Funny you mention that. I actually thought of food before-hand. I'll pick up random vegetation and throw in bits and pieces of corpses every once in a while. It's fool-proof, I promise.

In addition to the old myth of Gu poison, there's a manga from the 90s? based on it, where they do this in a scifi context. TotallyNotWeyland-Yutani keep dropping the galaxy's deadliest creatures on a planet to see what will happen.

Shit goes unimaginably wrong when the captain of one of the marine squads they routinely send on one way trips to this deadly, deadly hellscape survives for a few hours, long enough to be eaten by the creature that was inevitably going to end up winning this planetary battle royale because it can assimilate favourable traits of creatures it kills. It decides said Marine's brain is probably his best trait, which ends up being most of his memories along with it.

The planet then becomes tectonically unstable and is hit by a supernova or something, whatever, its utterly destroyed, but the survivor of the experiment just rides the debris wave out as a insulated little ball of hate until it fools a ship into picking it up and the hell is unleashed. Like you'd think with the mind of a man it would be more merciful than just a Giger alien or something, but this dude was so very, VERY fed up with people after being betrayed and effectively fed to that planet.

It's called the Kodoku Experiment or something similar.

Basically they are trying to find out what is the most lethal animal in the galaxy to use as a super weapon and they shove them on a useless tectonically unstable planet thats due to pop.

Captain gets left there as the human variable and he gets taken over by some life form. Said life form gets jettisoned into space in some sort of carbon shell until a space ship grabs it and it fucks everything up while heading towards another ship.

Highly incorrect. When humans came into the world it was a truly horrifying place, filled with innumerable giant predators that thought we were tasty and tons of things that loved to parasitically snack on us.

Have you heard of screwflies, for instance? They like laying eggs on live creatures and unlike normal maggots like eating live flesh. People infested with them become a writing mass of pain as the swarm devours them alive. These are real, we wiped them out in some parts of the world. They still remain in others. I highly advise that you do NOT look up screwflies.

On the larger scale there were once birds that ate humans like Haast's Eagle. Birds large enough to actually swoop down, catch a human and carry them off to eat them. They thought we were tasty. We wiped them out.

Wolves, saltwater crocodiles, lions and sabertoothed tigers ate people early in our history; we've managed to kill off the most aggressive of them and completely wipe them out in many areas. Indeed, had we not put the brakes on it we WOULD have wiped them out totally.

There were also dire wolves and cave hyenas which were likely to have preyed upon humans. In the case of Cave Hyenas it's all but certain they did, we have plenty of evidence for it. Those species no longer exist.

Then you have monsters like Megalania which is an ancestor of the Komodo Dragon. It was huge, it ate people, and its bite was poisonous. It was an ambush predator. Guess what doesn't exist today? Oh yeah, the closest thing to actual dragons to once exist and eat people.

Humans have wiped out every large predator species that preys exclusively or primarily on humans, and we've made massive inroads into killing off human parasites such as botflies and even illnesses such as Smallpox.

We are not something you want to try to eat. The things that have tried are scary as shit and they did not survive the attempt.

Actually no. We're not talking dinosaurs here, a number of those species were directly wiped out by humans. That's not an HFY, that's just the facts.

Dire wolves? Extinct by human hands.

Screwflies? Wiped out in many parts of the world by human action.
Smallpox? Eradicated by human action.

Don't overreact to HFY and assume that we have never done anything - we really DID wipe out most of our predators.

Centipedes are actually quite bro though, in that in terms of keeping household pests under control a house centipede does the job like a spider on crack.

They're be pretty freaky if giant/man-sized though. Those bat-eating centipedes are freaky enough, and all that shit about how they attack their prey.

>>38846301

Shadows of the Apt. It's a series based on the premise that ages ago the world was invaded by giant magic insects and the only way humans survived was by forming bonds with specific types of them. They get to not be eaten by giant insects and they also gain certain qualities of their ancestral insect though at the cost of having their minds influenced by their behavior.
Also there's magic and steampunk/early WWII tech and shit.

Well, depending on the game you could do a variety of things.

Like in PF I know there is such a thing as Centipede Poison. So for Rogues / Alchemists, this is quite a lethal item.

There's also a weapon called a Skinchuck - a severed head filled with insects. You throw it and it splits on impact, causing the Swarm to attack whatever it was thrown at.

The clay jug is essentially a Skinchuck.

>On the larger scale there were once birds that ate humans like Haast's Eagle. Birds large enough to actually swoop down, catch a human and carry them off to eat them. They thought we were tasty. We wiped them out.
Yeah, except that's mostly wrong you silly bastard. The Haast's Eagle preyed mostly on moas, giant flightless birds. Humans were only introduced into the eagle's environment in about the 13th century. While the eagles probably did kill humans they likely didn't feed on humans exclusively and when they did aimed for smaller women and children or lone, unarmed men whom them probably didn't "carry off."

Furthermore the Haast's eagle is believed to have died out due to the extinction of the moa and the destruction of habitat to make way for human settlement. The moa were hunted to extinction by humans because they are giant, dumb, flightless birds that make great meals. Less of a "fuck you eagles" and more of a "we need food and shelter and don't have time to deal with eagles." Sort of a failure on humanity's part for not being able to sustain their food source.

Don;t get me wrong, I think humanity is awesome but not because we kill shit. Humanity is awesome because we build things and actively make our living conditions better.

Actually, what system DOESN'T let you buy centipedes at chargen? As long as they're equipment or pets in some sourcebook, most games probably let you spend starting money on that.

Even in games without that it's easy to get around. You can make a Fate character with the Aspect "I have a jar of centipedes" or a Nobilis of Centipedes.
