[QUOTE="Quasqueton, post: 2576504, member: 3854"] More madness. The PCs are staying overnight at an inn along the Wilderness Road. The inn is owned and operated by a halfling thief named Bolo ("He has turned honest, and would not think of stealing from or cheating a guest.") The inn rooms ("rooms 4, 5, and 6 are available" -- but there is no room 5 on the inn map) are about 15'x15' with "two beds sit across from the door, their headboards against the outer walls." "Between the beds is a shuttered window." There are no secret doors noted on the map. This encounter was the last by the module for our group. Our 4-PC, 3rd-level party (with no silver or magic weapons other than a dagger) was attacked by 4 wererats in the inn (using secret doors that the room description contradicts where they could be, and that the thief innkeeper didn't know about). Where did the [i]sleep[/i] spell come from? There's not even a magic-user mentioned in the encounter. The next morning we were all pissed off. The innkeeper knows there are wererats living in the inn? "...they find large rat-like tracks on the floor. Bolo will realize they belong to the wererats staying at the inn." Hello!? Wererats are evil monsters. We accused the innkeeper of being in with the wererats, and we attacked him. The DM called the game at that point, and we, as a group, just dropped this adventure completely. We even dropped the PCs and just started anew. Quasqueton [/QUOTE]
