[QUOTE="fireinthedust, post: 5358471, member: 51930"] I'm running a Pathfinder game set in basically a haunted castle. The scenario is "House on Haunted Hill", with an invitation to a party-gone-wrong, but the plot is more "get them to open an evil door" rather than "someone kill my ..." Thing is, I am having difficulty coming up with 2nd level Halloween encounters. The point is for the PCs to get a key to the BBEG room from each of the challenges, in a room of a haunted castle; then fight the bbeg. I've got some ideas, but bringing them to life is hard. 1) Frankenstien: flesh golem will wake up; get the keys and get out before he stomps them dead (adamantine gate he can't get through should do it). This room I think is fine. 2) Zombie grave: done. Zombies that look like the PCs attack, etc. 3) Werewolf jail cell: there's a werewolf in a jail cell... yeah, that's all I can think of. I could do great description, but how to make it interesting? 4) Spooky garden: pumpkin patch with heads instead of pumpkins, that scream at the PCs. Basically difficult terrain, not very interesting. [/QUOTE]
