[QUOTE="Eltab, post: 6932308, member: 6803337"] 3e Libor Mortis has more ideas (and should be required reading when creating a Halloween-Themed One-Off Scenario). - Swarm of undead mosquitos: matriarch was sucking blood from corpse when mummification ritual / whatever began, and got caught up in it too. The eggs were viable after all and now the tomb has ... this ... flying around. - Earlier, you find a very-decomposed body. Later you find the animated skin (looks like a kite, or a decayed towel-sized piece of cloth on the floor). If the skin kills you (by smothering, I guess), YOUR skin peels off to become another thing like it. Did your allies remember to run away? - Undead spirit of an evil bard, has a sound-based ability and something like [I]Wail of the Banshee[/I] as its top-end Daily attack. - Wisps of fog or smoke that are just that - atmospheric (pun intended) effects. To help set the mood and maybe serve as red herring(s) - Otherwise safe area that has mummy-style desiccation spell on it. Go ahead, drink some water and watch the rest disappear. * Inspired by the White Wyrmspeaker quest from Tiamat - Swarms of rats (normal) plus one swarm of undead rats that ate off something they really shouldn't have. Also works for a handful of Giant Rats. [/QUOTE]
