[QUOTE="Coldaan, post: 4307357, member: 67560"] Hi Folks! MINOR SPOILER AHEAD So last session my evil aligned players finished the "mini adventure" in Fallcrest which is presented in the DMG, they defeated the dragon and then headed to the "Silver Unicorn Inn" to party & get seriously drunk. Now my plan is to set the Inn on fire and lure them into the basement, where they are awaited by a Doppelganger Ambush (disguised as the Inn's owner, the cook and so on). And this will finally lead them into the Catacombs aka my first custom made Dungeon. So I was planning to create an exciting skill challenge out of this including perception checks to notice the smoke, endurance against smoke poisoning, athletics/acrobatics to jump over burning/destroyed areas and so on. Now... Is it ok to give them a -1 to all rolls & defenses due to the alcohol abuse? How do I keep them from escaping through a window so they somehow have to reach the basement? All other escape ways are barred with burning furniture etc. Could it be that the windows are in fact barred to keep thieves out of the Inn? How much damage does "standing in a burning area" do? Do you guys have any other ideas for checks involved in the skill challenge? -Coldaan [/QUOTE]
