[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8318922, member: 508"] We played in our other 3.5 campaign today, the one I DM ("Dreams of Erthe"). It was a short adventure, with most of the action happening as the PCs stayed overnight at a tavern and ran afoul of the owner's occasional nefarious moneymaking scheme, whereby he assigned those people passing through town who were least likely to be missed to Room 5 - the room where the comfortable-looking bed was in fact a mimic. Normally, the mimic got a quick meal in the middle of the night and the tavernkeeper just had to go clean out the room of the visitor's belongings before anyone else got up the next morning, so he could claim they left early (and could deny them ever having been there if anyone ever came looking for them later). However, this time the person assigned to Room 5 invited along the traveling bard she'd met that evening to her room and the mimic couldn't eat both of them quick enough. The PCs awoke to the woman's screams, headed over to Room 5 (they'd been staying in Rooms 1, 2, and 3), only to find the bard being devoured and the woman halfway sunk into the mimic's mouth. They rescued the woman, slew the mimic, and then fought off the tavernkeeper's guard dog and animated dread guard armor before knocking him out and tying him up for the authorities. My nephew's bard PC inherited the slain bard's masterwork lute. Never one to pass up a pun, I called the adventure "Deathbed." And the PCs all leveled up to 3rd level after the adventure was over. One player's poor elf sorcerer PC had advanced from 4 hp at level 1 to a mere 5 hp at level 2, and now at level 3 he rolled a "1" again and would have ended up with 6 hp had he not taken Toughness as his 3rd-level feat to give him a grand total of 9 hp. (I kidded him it's his karmic payback for his dwarven barbarian in our Wednesday night campaign - "Raiders of the Overreach" - where his 12th-level dwarven barbarian has a whopping 204 hp.)
