[QUOTE="WarpedAcorn, post: 7299489, member: 6819400"] Oh yeah! I sprung a Shambling Mound on my players at 3rd level right after they fought their way through an old elven temple. They thought the finale was a pair of Black Dragon Wyrmlings, but the Shambling mound rose from their blood. I did it in a cinematic way though where the Shambling Mound took a couple of rounds to form and the players (without much prompting) understood that this was the point where they grab the artifacts and run. I plan to use the Shambling Mound in Death House in a similar situation (because I doubt she will sacrifice the helpful NPC), letting it form over a few rounds and act more as a lesson of "you can't beat everything you see, discretion is the better part of valor". Of course, being a Druid, if she gets creative and wants to somehow use Druidic magic to overcome the situation then I will come up with some BS rolls for her because I want to encourage that type of creativity. =) [/QUOTE]
