[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8302921, member: 508"] In our last Wednesday night campaign (where I'm a player and my grown son DMs), we were inexplicably shunted over to the Far Plane when trying to [i]plane shift[/i] from Dwarven Hell (where we'd freed a lich during our previous session, back in January) and had to make it through the rigors of that very confusing place before ending up on a spelljamming ship headed where we want to go - but with time-frozen warriors from half a world away about to invade our allies. What with time being all quirky on the Far Realm, the war we thought was still weeks away is apparently happening right now! In our Saturday campaign (which I DM), the PCs were woken in the middle of the night to deal with somebody breaking into a family mausoleum in the dead of night. They fought a necromancer (who they were pretty sure at first might be a vampire - nope, just a pasty-skinned human who doesn't see much sunlight) and various forms of undead they hadn't encountered before. Two of them in particular squicked the players all out immensely: the eight-year-old "slaymate," Eva Scarsdale, who just wanted to play with the PCs (and whose arms were covered in dried blood), and the boneless the necromancer freed from a water-filled urn. That boneless creeped them out so much it was a race to kill it-kill it-KILL IT before they could even see what it was capable of - they had no desire to learn anything about it but just wanted to know when it stopped moving. But the dwarven cleric got a new warhammer and the elven sorcerer a [i]figurine of wondrous power (jade cooshee)[/i] that are intended as their "signature items" that will grow in power with them over the course of the campaign.
