[QUOTE="Jaligard, post: 212506, member: 1010"] Well, it's a story not an adventure, so I need to worry about it in a different way than a DM. The character will initially run away, but he will have to deal with these critters [I]by himself.[/I] He is a Dwarven Rogue 9 and has no magical items. I can give him an adamantine dagger (which is a +1 weapon, but not magical). He has no holy water, though there may be some in the dungeon. They are good undead charged with protecting the temple/dungeon. Specifically, they don't want anyone to let a particular demon out of his prison. (The dwarf and his companions have already done so.) Since I'm writing the story, I [i]can[/i] add things to the setting, but I don't really want to add anything magical if I don't have to.
