What Lulu did to the children of Bandel City

Baleful Polymorph

So here the other day when I was preparing to DM I went into the spell book to find some spells for a mage and I thought it would be fun to give him polymorph, so as any person would do I read what the spell did.

"You change the subject into a Small or smaller animal of no more than 1 HD (such as a dog, lizard, monkey, or toad). If the subject remains in the new form for 24 consecutive hours, it must attempt a Will save. If this save fails, it loses its ability to understand language, as well as all other memories of its previous form, and its Hit Dice and hit points change to match an average creature of its new form.

So let us say that lulu tuned in some kids from Bandel city into a fish, so that child could hide better in the water or a bird to hide in the tree. As I guess it would be hard to find some of this things, and the child not wanted to be found right away would probably find a good hiding space. Maybe even fall asleep where it is. Making it hard for Lulu or any other person to find the child. Witch would result into the child losing all there memories, and therefore become a fish or a bird. Making this quite dark. Let’s say that only a little amount of the children relished that they were in quite the trouble trying to find their mom or dad, trying to find a way to tell them that they are them and not a rat who wants to spread there desires into the family’s home.

So when lulu says "That squirrel looks familiar." She could be saying that not all the children was found in there game of Hide and seek, and therefore tuned into a squirrel permanently

P.s. sorry for my EnglishLulu

[edit:1]

I am happy that people like this so far. I feared that I would get a bunch of shippers telling me how wrong I am ^^’ But as many people have wonder of how Veigar and Lulu friendship would work, I just think that the trickster amuses him, with her cruel and dark pranks/games.

Lulu - The Fae Sorceress

I've heard it pointed out time and time again - The fae (faeries) were not something you wanted to meet in their original stories. This type of dark undertone is exactly in line with that original material.

I really like the connection you made to the people forgetting who they were and her voice over line.

I like the conclusion you reached, and not because I am a sadist at heart (suffering is magic, but I am not that cruel to children), but it really highlights just how out of touch Lulu is with reality. The consequences of her "games" align very well with the nature of fae in various tales from traditional folklore, and it would explain just why she was exiled from the Bandle City, a serious punishment that for a yordle would result in madness and possibly death.

And your English is quite understandable, more so than many native speakers, in fact.

Actually, there is a lot of darker tones in Lulu's lore, quotes, and even in her skins, though I don't think most people notice. The one you've pointed out is a very good example.

Other things I've noticed (I'm sorry for the word vomit!):

  • Like her bittersweet and wicked skins. Although the later skins are mostly adorable and catering to the audience, those two are stated somewhere to be a darker twist on Lulu's usal fantasy theme. In her Bittersweet skin, she looks menacing and slightly 'uncanny valley', and holds a cupcake who is apparently a terrified person. In her Wicked skin, she seems to be a playful witch, turning people into kittens... And looking hella similiar to classic Veigar, down to the yellow eyes.

  • Another note on her skins is that she's always, always turning people into things and having a lot of fun when she does it.

  • Her relationship with Veigar, something TSV already said was a match made in Yordle hell.

  • She's got a theme for her in the music album for LOL! What's it called? Lulu and Shaco's quirky encounter. That was commented on to envision the two of them playfully interacting, maybe sparring, having a lot of fun.

Just. With Shaco. The Demon Jester.

  • The _entire _ deal with her going into the Glade. Like, she got lured in there. Kind of abducted. By Pix, who _pretended _ to be stuck in a birdhouse.

And whether it was a benefit for her or not, like getting magical powers and having a good time, she got totally plucked away from the entire world as she knew it, time continuum and all.

Then she went back by kind of remembering she had a life out there. Because, the Glade made it seem 'distant and surreal'.

I can't seem to remember anything else atm. but the above easily indicates she's much more dark and dangerous than in her usual cute potrayal. I think she's not as bad in some aspects as say, Veigar, like how she sees that she's done wrong and is most of the time a kind and quirky Yordle (that gave her Gnar's friendship). But she's also a trickster, has all the abilities to make your life hell, and will probably grow up to be one heck of a witch.

I'll leave a +1 just because I'm an avid D&D/Pathfinder player AND Lulu is my favorite champ ^^

I actually wrote a likely lame fiction on how Lulu could turn Wicked for a giveaway contest. And yeah it featured Veigar.

Also you are on point with the quote.

Now there is a harder one "That tasted purple!" :D
