All Of Them Witches: Salem Sisters and NorthStar Parson

[Rigel]

"Hickory, dickory, dare,


The pig flew up in the air.

 

The man in brown 

 

Soon brought him down;

 

Hickory, dickory, dare."
          ---Old nursery rhyme

 

 

 

 

I mostly have enough Weird West stuff to resist the temptations of Dracula's America, but I'll be expletive deleted if the Salem Sisters and Guardian weren't exactly what I needed for this early modern project. The Guardian's trousers are a bit anachronistic, but that buckled hat and kerchief more than makes up for it. 

Our Sisters--Maiden, Mother, and Crone--are tremendously full of character, and those bonnets and collars sell it. Again, I tried for colors that are not quite black and grey, but still look dour and joyless. 

 

 

 

The Man in Brown, the parson, is from NorthStar's 1672 line, part of their Civilian pack; a perfect fit for this setting. (He comes with a foppish aristocrat and two ladies in fine silks--the sort of thing that would be Frivolity and Idleness in this region. We'll see them later.) I didn't intend to make the parson so sinister-looking or surly, but it's a happy accident. There are definitely multiple ways of parsing this scenario. Perhaps he's the warlock, trying to get some hard-working women accused of witchcraft so he can buy their land. Perhaps not! Perhaps it's poltergeist activity from the worryingly intense child. Who can say?

Those Witches made that pig fly!

The Man of faith prayed and got it down but the Witchhunter only saw that and now accuses the Man in Brown of Witchcraft!

Of course the sweet devout ladies are happy to testify!

 

Wonderful work!

Thank you! Getting to the bottom of it sounds like a job for player characters.
