Beware Wolves Ahead

[dark_majico]

This is a minor thing that has always irked me but I haven't got around to posting it yet. The warning message just seems a little over the top, it's too wordy and sometimes less is more. I guess its the 'proceed with due caution and at own risk' along with everything else that seems a little too much like the message is repeating itself unnecessarily, and that wording seems wrong for a semi medi evil setting, it almost reads like a road sign or a warning written by a local council authority in a public park.

[herkles]

so what would you replace it with?

[dark_majico]

Something simpler like perhaps 'Danger, wolves'. Or 'Beware roaming wolves', or "Wolf territory ahead".

[Arawn]

I stood and stared at that sign for about thirty real-life hours a week for most of last year. Long may it stand to bother others in the way it bothered me.

[A normal snake]

It turns out Arawn was the wolf to beware of all along.

[Purist]

I disagree on that Ophis, I was standing across him a worthy share of those 30 week hours, and he didn't seem like a threat at all. We even almost talked sometimes.

You damn well know if you crossed that bridge he would gut you like the wild animal he is!

DON'T WOLVES
CROSS OUTSIDE

[Merry Munchkin]

DON'T WOLVES
CROSS OUTSIDE

"Don't wolves cross outside" looks like it should have a question mark at the end. 

Instead of words, how about a picture, for the largely illiterate Barovian population -- a man being torn to pieces by a wolf, with a skull and crossbones above?

[Kendric98]

Behold for ahead is yonder fields upon which lie wolves most foul.
See thou and an make it most barren of your personage!

[Dumas]

I'd like to have all signs be replaced with more of ye olde English style phrasing

Then this DM would have a small compulsive fit and die of apoplexy.

<Balok> Danger ahead. Wolves.
<Common> Enjoy the trip, outlander.

How about we mash all of this together and see if we can break Arawn:

YE OLDE WARENUNG
NU BUN CROSSING
Tá DEFAID TIMPEALL

Perfect.

I am so afraid of the words that I'll just not pass the sign.

[Time_Stomped]

YE MULTI CROSSED WOLVES

OUTLANDERS HATE THEM

I went for controversy.

Yah that's the one, make it so please.

[herkles]

like with the stuff in the Port being written in French(High mordentish). this sign, and most signs in barovia, should be written in romanian(Balok).
