[QUOTE="SnowDog, post: 1304290, member: 2225"] Not one of mine, but since the DM in question hasn't posted, I'll combine a little [i]bump[/i] with a story along these lines. The DM had established this little village as this great friendly place, unfortunately not too far from the site of some ancient buried evil (aren't they always?). The PCs spent many sessions in and around this village, and really grew to enjoy the cast of characters, especially Trill, the Halfling innkeeper who acted as a sort of mother-figure to out-of-towners. One day, the PCs returned to find the place totally corrupted by this evil nasty Vampire who had taken over the place and was creating undead to dig out the ancient buried evil (just leave it buried!). Most of the town had been changed into zombies, and the halfling innkeeper was [i]Dominate[/i]d and tried to kill our party in her own ineffectual way. We took her captive and tied her up, hoping we could break whatever enchantment was on her. While the party slept, huddled in an abandoned half-destroyed shack, in the pouring rain, surrounded by zombies who didn't know where we were, the PC on guard duty fell asleep. Trill escaped and started screaming, drawing the attention of the town-o-zombies. Our resident Dwarven Madman (er, fighter) tried to subdue her but screwed up, and ended up killing her with a single axe blow. And so we lost the only remaining bit of humanity and goodness in the once pastoral town. Well done, evil DM. [/QUOTE]
