[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 2969765, member: 11"] Again, I agree. . . poorly designed, but here are some of the things I did to make it work. The basilisk was boarded into the inner courtyard and the slavers/orcs would dump captives and unruly slaves in there. I drew the PCs in there by having some live food wandering around in there (emaciated slaves) desperate to get out. (Ever dump live crickets into a lizard or tarantula tank? Imagine that reaction :D) Again, these were locked off into a section of the temple and kept in check until a more powerful priest who worked for the slavers could return to gauge the situation and see if they might be of use. I added letters regarding this and other matters among the slavers' things for verisimilitude's sake. I ignored all tricks and traps of that manner - why would they have false slaves among captives who really worked for the slavers (for example), if they did not know the PCs were coming - instead I had a few "loyal slaves" who were so cowed they tried to work against the PCs from fear of the slavers' power. I removed the wandering monsters and beefed up the orcs some. Yep. [/QUOTE]
