[QUOTE="Richards, post: 8544820, member: 508"] In today's "Dreams of Erthe" campaign I ran a quick side-mission to a hidden gnome market; I had decided in this campaign there weren't going to be magic shops, but now that the PCs are 6th level and have amassed a decent amount of gold I want them to be able to spend it on something besides the occasional potion or scroll. (Single-use items can easily be found for sale.) So the Hidden Market is run by a group of ten gnomes who specialize in procuring magic items for a select client list and the PCs were invited to join that illustrious circle. All but one of the five PCs bought something, the fifth didn't have enough money on hand for what she wanted but put down a down-payment. Then the real adventure, "Serpentine Dreams," began. They awakened the latest dream victim who was dreaming of being bound by ropes and calling for help to escape. However, when the PCs cut his ropes in the dreamscape, he still called to be rescued, demanding they peel off his skin. Eventually, one PC tried cutting him in half (knowing full well it was just a dream and hoping to get it to start over from the beginning so he could see who had tied him up), but this only allowed a snake to crawl out of the hollow human and thank them for freeing him. When he awoke, he recognized the heroes from his dream and blurted out to his parents, "They saw me in my true form! They know what we are!" That was actually a bit premature (as the players hadn't yet figured out what was going on), but the farming village was slowly being taken over by a band of yuan-ti, led by the new cleric at the Temple of the Goddess of Harvest (after having slain the previous cleric and leaving a note from him saying he had to leave on a personal family emergency). The PCs had to fight off not only the townsfolk already transformed into yuan-ti but also a half dozen normal human farmers who had been told the PCs were bandits attacking the family whose son they had just rescued from the dream. That made the fight a bit more difficult, but for the most part they managed only to kill the right people and were able to prove to the rest what the yuan-ti had been up to. Johnathan [/QUOTE]
