[QUOTE="Altalazar, post: 13918, member: 939"] Ah yes, the Cedar Chest. I ran that one oh so many years ago - part of a long Ravenloft Campaign. My favorite of all the D&D games I've run. And it turned out perfectly - one player had his character leave to train for a few weeks (and maybe even missed a session, but I don't recall that now) - he was a rogue, I think, and he became, of all things, a JESTER. In full jester garb. Bells and everything. Or as he mimed it out (walking with arms flailing - *Jingle* *Jingle* *Jingle*.) Yes. A JESTER in RAVENLOFT. And he was probably the least screwed up character of the group. There was the cleric slowly turning into a zombie lord (bad idea to get cursed, then killed by a pack of zombies, then raised in Ravenloft, then blow a save with a 1), Aqua-man (Really a straight mage with an insanity causing random personality shifts in stressful situations) - then he ignored (at like 2nd level) a 'No Fishing' Sign in Ravenloft. Bad idea. Ended up slowly turning onto a fish-man (like Creature from the Black Lagoon). Thus his nom de plume. He also had an interesting flght before this - he ended up in one on one melee. He was a 1st level Mage with a dagger. His opponent was a 3rd level fighter with a longsword. His mage kicked the fighter's ass. I've NEVER seen so many 20s rolled in a row. He never even got a scratch. And the combat lasted like four or five rounds. Ah, the memories. If only the essence of Ravenloft could rise again... [/QUOTE]
