It's going ahead on Thursday in the crypt of the Guildhall, just for the thematic elements of course. The way they're trying to introduce the game (at the start of the show) is following a documentary stereotype of a 'journey' through gaming, and in this segment they inevitably descend into a dungeon. I apparently have the pleasure of voice-overing this with my introduction to whatever dungeon they're entering and so far we've worked out that it'll consist of the presenter's character coming to the rescue of the other two characters that will be present. Oh, he'll be a wizard (sort of thematic again).So the actual scenario is in my hands. I've found 'Into the Shadowhaunt' from WWDDGD '08, and the best I've come up with is combining the whole thing into a single encounter with Helvec, the two captives, some skeletons and of course, oil-filled sarcophagi. When Helvec is near death there'll be a dramatic hostage-threatening situation in which the players will either kill him (and potentially one or both hostages unless they're very clever or lucky), or let him go to save them. However that ends, there will of course be a cave-in, forcing them to flee as quickly as possible. I'm going to make most of it up on the fly to avoid killing anyone horribly, though a noble death would be great.Any thoughts on this, or my voice-over, or what to demand of my other players? Neither of them to my knowledge will over-act, which is good. The presenter chap himself has done his homework, playing the starter set at the weekend with his son apparently, and seems totally up for it so I think on that front we're ok.</blockquote>
