[QUOTE="Teneb, post: 3126896, member: 3572"] I need some help fleshing out an encounter. Very evil people frequent here. It's a natural place to ask. The PCs are in a city where some strange things have been happening. Unfortunately for them they can't narrow down who's doing these things because it appears multiple people are involved, but whenever they're caught they don't really recollect what had happened. The PCs suspect some kind of mind control, but in reality there's a Tsochar (Lords of Madness) that's taking people over and making them do bad things. [Aside: I realize I'm not using the Tsochar verbatim from LoM. In my world they're more like the Gouauld from Stargate. This one happens to be a psion as well, just to make things fun.] Anyway, Mr. Tsochar has decided to off the PCs once and for all, and will lure them to the local orphanage where he's taken over the headmistress' body. He's also dominated all the little 'uns. Unfortunately, psychotic 8-year olds aren't too scary on their own. I need ideas on how to make the encounter at the orphanage: 1) interesting 2) challenging 3) memorable If you have ideas on how to address any of these (or better yet, all three), please enlighten me. The 5 PCs are all 9th level. Your help is much appreciated. [/QUOTE]
