A village is attacked every night by a troupe of powerful monsters. They come in, methodically going house by house and killing everything within it, taking anything of value, and then leave to parts unknown, presumably to rest until they return the next night. How would your average D&D village respond? Get adventurers of course!So if that tribe of bullywugs just can't bring down the PCs after several days of "booga-booga!", maybe they pool all their remaining valuables (and sell some of the tribe into slavery on top) to hire an evil group of monster adventurers- a troll cleric, a mummy sorcerer, a werepig rogue, and a dwarven blackguard. When the PCs bash down the front gate of the bullywug temple expecting another easy fight, they get a great surprise of their own!Like I said, I only did it once, and it was a fun take on the "evil mirror party" trope. Led to a great fight where both sides did their nova thing and the players triumphed, but bloodily. You know I just might do something like that again...</blockquote>
