[QUOTE="Stormborn, post: 3356732, member: 14041"] Have to admit this is not my idea, I read it around here somewhere: PCs are summoned to a town to go into the sewers/ruined dungeon of the town for typical reasons. They go in and a few days later come out. Only to discover that everythign has changed. See, while they were down there someone else screwed up and did not prevent the Dark Realm from opening up into the material world during a total eclipse. Now this entire town has changed. Segments of the population have become undead, some suprisingly cunning, and there are demonic forces roaming the streets. Seems that this little town is somehow on a ley line that the forces of Darkness feel the need to control. Now the PCs only have one mission, survive. In addtion to the necromantically changed citizenry they have to contend with dark mages (who decide to toy with the PCs just for fun by doing things like putting delayed blast fireball runes on the backs of human children and letting the PCs "rescue" them), a group of demon worshipping orc mercenaries who have had a change of heart now that they see what happens when they get their wish and arent real sure what to do now, and the remnants of a band of overly optimistic Dudly Doright Lawful Stupid Paladins that have been dispatched by the Forces of Light and feel the need to "rescue" the PCs (and take away any weapons with which they might injure themselves) even if it means beating them into submission. Not very silly, but hack n slashy fun. If you want silly have all this be about finding the host for a demon lord on earth, a destined child who has been bread to serve as his vessel for a thousand years. Unfortunatelly for him they are about 12 years early and the vessel in question is a small sickly lisping little child that insists on carting around her blankey to teddy or somesuch even when cackling manically and ordering the genocide of entire nations.
