[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 6818765, member: 6803337"] Yes, it was us (by elimination). We were in a crypt finding Secret Potions, opened the hidden chamber, and it got foggy. Nothing else happened so we continued with our mission. A little later - we were ready for the next mission - a Ref shows up and announces that she is a vampire. I called her 'Stradh' and told all our magic-users to Alpha Strike her. She tried to Charm our Wiz3 but failed, while everybody else did trivial damage to her. I'm equipped with a Longbow+1 so I took a shot at her too. No visible effect from all of it, and the Vampire left. I don't know if she visited you first or us first. OUR group's leader had to deal with ME - only L4 present and an IRL wannabe Warlord to boot - giving everybody, including the DM, advice on how to organize things to keep it all moving. I should add that 4 / 7 PCs were L1, and 2 of those had never played in an Epic or Battle Interactive before. We only ran into that at the end of the night. For simplicity, I suggested that our minions attack its minions, and we PCs dump our attacks on the Shambling Mound / Gulthias Tree. The DM did the minion battle 'off-map'. Due to a beneficent rain of Plot Favors, we entered EVERY fight with (a) a surprise round; (b) Advantage on all attacks in Round 1; AND (c) a follower apiece. The Gulthias Tree looked like a porcupine when we were done with it. We had TIME called on us before we could get to that point. A while after the first Vampire visit, I had an idea: my character is ridiculously over-equipped (150 lbs of stuff, I figured out during a session for which I had no ticket to adventure). So, to chase off vampires, I told the group I was pulling out my Fishing Tackle and breaking off the end of my Wooden Rod to make a stake, and putting a Steel Mirror in my belt, just in case. Had the Vampire shown up again, I was going to pause "playing Ranger" and demonstrate to our Monk1 what an experienced Monk actually does for a living. I saw that. I did not understand the importance of it; too much room noise. [/QUOTE]
