[QUOTE="Dragongrief, post: 832630, member: 8882"] Thanks for the replies. The castle is a large two level complex, surface level and one basement level, the surface being about 74x50 squares area. It's "consencrated" by association with many powerful (high epic level) beings of good, rather than by any deliberate action. The current "defenders" of the castle will be whoever has inhabitted and managed to keep it thus far (no solid plans yet, this is the main thing I'm asking for ideas on) The castle isn't actually a planned encounter in the normal use of the term... some members of the group went out looking for rumors, the castle is one of the two they decided to look into (farm animal disappearances was the other, which they took care of last session). There are two (newly met) NPC friends of the group researching the history of the castle, which will provide them with some of the more common knowledge. I was thinking of making this more of a discovery-type adventure, with creatures added in to keep them on their toes and keep it a little realistic (no vacuum isolating the castle). The creatures that I do put in I was planning to give better tactics to as opposed to higher CR (they went up against hook horrors earlier - CR 6 my ___). Also, if they clear out whatever ends up in the castle, they may claim it if they wish, as noone holds any deed for it or the land around it. I like the idea one something being locked up and an evil being trying to trick them into openning the seals (seals which only a true-hearted being could get past?). I already know which of the Evils will be released first. I'm thinking when they hit around 10th... otherwise [I]if[/I] they charge (fairly likely) they might not have time to retreat once they realize they can't take it out. It also shouldn't be difficult to get them there, as they've recently aquired several contacts in the area. Thank you both again for the responses. Hopefully this has answered your questions (or at least the major ones), and I would appreciate any further ideas. [/QUOTE]
