[QUOTE="chaotix42, post: 3714454, member: 40530"] Well, of course you'll need thieves. Try throwing together low-level rogues and warriors together for mixed encounters - the rogues are the brains of the bunch, and the warriors just knock heads together like simple thugs. Perhaps a 1st lvl rogue and two 1st lvl warriors for a nice EL 2 encounter. The groups of enemies could have a random chance of being hopped up on too many drugs as well. You could sprinkle a few of these throughout the dungeon, maybe change a level here and there to spice things up. Should be simple to write up, and you can re-use the mooks. Since you're using a black dragon as the end bad guy, maybe she has some lizardfolk retainers? Perhaps she doesn't trust the humanoids in the gang with her protection, since they're addicted to their own drugs (and who trusts a crack head?). The lizardfolk could be drug-free and merciless, with clear heads ready to defend their master at a moment's notice. Monitor lizards, crocodiles, and similar beasts would make good pets. For undead, try a lone wight or two to really scare your players. They're CR 3, so it'll be a good fight for a 2nd lvl party. If you have Libris Mortis, inside is a bunch of low-level undead that should serve you well, if you're not interested in just using ghouls, zombies, and skeletons. [/QUOTE]
