[QUOTE="Cherno, post: 6085110, member: 6704531"] I'm actually planning to make two small encounters out of this ritual situation at the burial mount: first, spirits will come and try to take the remaining soul or whatever that still exists in traces in the dwarf's corpse and the rest of the party have to make a series of Willpower saves or similar to ward them off, so no straight combat but rather a skill challenge. This mirrors the scene from Conan where we see Valeria holding on the the mortally wounded Conan with the evil spirits trying to get him. The second encounter will take place after the Dwarf has been successfully resurrected, but of course things go horribly right and a small army of skeletons rise as well. These will be all level 1 minions but each round there's gonna be 1d6 new ones rising until 10 have risen total. Depending on the dice rolls, the party may be swamped or manage to cut down enough so that they retain some breathing space. I imagine the wizard will be very important in this scene with his area spells, taking out multiple enemies at once. Maybe I'll let the dwarf make Willpower saves too in the first encounter to simulate his own sould fighting to stay in the realm of the living. Your idea of combining the two is very good, I will definitely consider it. Thanks! Here's the map for the burial mount. [IMG]http://www.abload.de/img/burial4cu4b.jpg[/IMG] [/QUOTE]
