[QUOTE="LostSoul, post: 2225065, member: 386"] For some reason, this creeped my players out: The local innkeeper hadn't seen one of his barmaids for a while, and since she lived a little ways out of town, the innkeeper asked the PCs to go and check up on her. Typical plot hook; I have no idea why they didn't expect something sinister. They got to her house, a run-down cottage, and knocked. Nobody's home. So they walk in, and see a pool of blood on the floor. It's being fed from somewhere upstairs, and they can see and hear the drip-drip-drip coming down from above. They rush upstairs and find the barmaid hanging by her feet, half-naked with a deep cut running straight from neck to belly. Two of the PCs untie her and, finding that she's still faintly alive, they take her downstairs where they hope they can heal her. The third PC decides to wait upstairs, but he's not really sure why. Then something small and black rolls out from under a table. It unfurls its wings and stretches itself out - it's some kind of black demon with long, vicious claws. It charms the PC and caresses him with its claws. The PCs downstairs detect for evil, and are led back upstairs. They get into a massive fight with the thing and it brings both of them to negatives. The third PC is not sure what to do, being hypnotized and charmed. Then his familiar attacked the demon, and when it fought back, the enchantment wore off and the third PC blasted the demon with a magic missile. The demon flew away. The still-standing PC decided to use his final goodberry on the more wounded of the two, and then tried to stabilize the other. He couldn't do it, and the PC died. So, alone with an unconcious and dead friend in this little attic room, he decided to read this blasphemous tome which drove him slightly insane. Odd choice, really. When he had finished the opera, he noticed that the dead PC had come back to life - although nobody knew why. And when they went back downstairs later on, the barmaid (whom they had all forgotten about) was gone. [/QUOTE]
