Any ideas you have for exhibits in a zoo catering to wealthy patrons in a fantasy setting would be appreciated! The characters are in a huge city that is under siege. Each night the city has been ravaged by enemies flying dragon-ish creatures. Three sessions back the party completed an adventure to activate wards to prevent the night terrors from returning. During the last session, however, I forgot about the wards and began to describe another attack before realizing and was about to apologize and come clean on my mistake when a player came up with the idea that there was a squadron of night terrors trapped within the wards. The other players latched on to the idea, hard. Since there is a horrible winter storm perpetually battering the city no one knows where the rogue squadron are hiding. They come out of nowhere and disappear just as easily. Another player decided that the logical way to find a dragon-like creature is to use a dragon-like creature to track it. By the end of the session they were heading for a zoo in the wealthy part of town, planning to dragon-nap the zoo's mascot. The zoo had been damaged during the assault on the city. Although the outer walls have held, the physical and magical containment systems for the individual exhbits have largely failed. The players are really looking forward to exploring a fantasy zoo. I'm going to do a gravity defying water feature. It turns ninety degrees and goes up the side of a huge canyon wall and will provide some interesting terrain for an encounter with a tentacle monster. (And it will be really fun to map out. Rare earth magnets may be involved.) It would seem that a zoo ran for the amusement of wealthy patrons in a high magic setting would have some amazing exhibits. Does anyone have any ideas? I'm toying with having the farm animals in the petting zoo be intelligent and seizing the chaos of the assault as a chance to launch a revolution. I've always wanted to interject an evil donkey into the game, but there just seems like there is so few opportunities to do so without it feeling forced ... Thanks in advance!</blockquote>
