[QUOTE="Obryn, post: 5231063, member: 11821"] Good point! It's insanely stereotypical, but honestly - that's what I'm looking for. A good archetype to throw at my players. We're at 17th right now. And the gauntlet will be in the Shadowfell, in the city of Gloomwrought. I imagine it will be set in a "pleasure den" of the shadar-kai, where they can watch this bloodsport for fun and gambling - but that's flexible. And the guy running it may be a lich - who knows? Anyway, he's set up a series of tests and seeded each section with great treasure. The further you go, the more dangerous it gets, and the more valuable the treasure becomes, much like a video game - and [I][B]life![/B][/I] I'm also thinking of adding in a myth that the only one who made it through was a disguised exarch of Avandra, but that's unnecessary. I have no fears about temporarily crippling or even killing a PC here, and I'll make that super-clear up front. :D [B]FireLance[/B] - I think I might steal some stuff from that. :) I plan to be as cruel as possible. -O [/QUOTE]
